AED availability is essential in positive sudden cardiac arrest outcomes. According to the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation:
- SCA affects nearly 1,000 people each day
- 90% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) are fatal
- 70% of SCA’s occur in the home
- Survival depends on the quick actions of people nearby calling 911, starting CPR, and using an AED as soon as possible
While these statistics are quite astonishing, owning an AED is essential in completing the Chain of Survival. In addition to ownership, one should also be responsible with ensuring their AED’s are compliant and ready to rescue. AED program management ensures AED’s are ready to use in the event of a SCA, which means an increase in the chance of survival.
