Defibtech Introduces TSO-Authorized Aviation Battery for Lifeline™ VIEW AED

AEDs save lives, but still often not available when sudden cardiac arrest occurs

Because AEDs are often not available when sudden cardiac arrest occurs, only about 8 percent of 300,000 victims are saved each year, according to a study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Many more can be saved by making AEDs more available. When victims receive defibrillating shocks within the first minute after sudden cardiac arrest, about 90 percent survive, according to the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Association. The chances of survival decrease by 7 to 10 percent with each passing minute. After 10 minutes, less than 5 percent of victims survive.
