can strike anyone, anytime, anywhere... Community Watch Security AED Program Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Sudden Cardiac Arrest: 

Sudden Cardiac Arrest Uncoordinated, very fast heart rhythm Ventricular fibrillation (VF) Some ventricular tachycardias (VT) Ineffective heart pump Unconscious, no breathing, no pulse Death certain without defibrillation A Heart in Distress

What Is Defibrillation?: 

What Is Defibrillation? Electric shock to the heart Stops uncoordinated rhythm Allows return of regular rhythm and pulse Only definitive treatment for VF

Why “Early” Treatment?:

What Happens When You Call 911?: 

What Happens When You Call 911? Identify emergency/ Activate emergency response plan 30 seconds Best Case Scenario

The Odds: 

All Other Cardiovascular Total Deaths 810,000 Sudden Cardiac Arrest The Odds 220,000 Annual Deaths from Cardiovascular Disease – U.S. 590,000

The Stakes: 

600 patients per day (one every 2 to 3 minutes) 75% out-of-hospital 20% without prior symptoms 95% die without very early treatment < 5% survive The Stakes Annual Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Events – U.S. Total Events 220,000

AEDs to the Rescue: 

Low-maintenance Uniquely small, lightweight and rugged Safe, effective, and easier than CPR Designed for lay rescuer Expands lifesaving opportunities AEDs to the Rescue

It is estimated that more than 95% of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching a hospital, resulting in approximately 250,000 deaths each year in the U.S. That's three lives every seven minutes - over 600 people a day! However, when all four links of the Chain of Survival (which is a globally endorsed response model developed by the American Heart Association) are strong, survival rates for victims of SCA can rise from 5% to as high as 49%.:

Something to Think About... AHA Guidelines 2000 for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Textbook. “Public Access Defibrillation has the potential to be the single greatest advancement in the treatment of prehospital SCA death since the development of CPR.”
