AED - Automated External Defibrillator

CPR alone does not save lives - in fact the North American average for 'saves' is less than 5% with CPR alone. CPR combined with an AED has been shown in recent anecdotal evidence to reach a 'save' factor of between 40 - 50%.

AED units are now appearing in many industries, recreation centres and public places such as shopping malls and golf courses. To be effective ideally the AED unit should be on the patient within 4 - 6 minutes.

AED's have been recommended by the American and Canadian Heart Associations as part of an effective response system to a cardiac arrest. Early activation of the emergency 9-1-1 system, early application of CPR and early defibrillation (AED) remains the best way to save a life.
