Sudden Cardiac Arrest / AED
What is an AED?
If you're wondering what an AED is – and why they seem to be located in most public areas you're not alone. In fact, because these devices are now commonly available, more people than ever before are curious about them. So – just what is an AED?
An AED, or automated external defibrillator, is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It's a sophisticated, yet easy to use medical device that can analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.
What is Cardiac Arrest?
Each year 350,00 - 400,000 die as a result of Sudden Cardiac arrest occurs suddenly and often without warning. It happens when an electrical malfunction in the heart causes an irregular heartbeat (Ventricular Fibrillation/Ventricular Tachycardia) With its pumping action disrupted, the heart can't pump blood to the brain, lungs and other organs. When this occurs, a person loses consciousness and has no pulse. Death occurs within minutes if the victim doesn't receive treatment with and AED and CPR immediately.
What is Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) / Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)?
The normal heart beats between sixty and one-hundred times per minute. When the heart relaxes, it fills with oxygenated blood to send out to the body to maintain normal life function. Ninety-four percent of all cardiac arrests occur as a result of conditions known as Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) or Ventricular Tachycardia (VT). During both instances (VF/VT). the heart beats chaotically at a rate of three-hundred or more beats per minute. The heart muscle is commonly referred to as "quivering".
Ninety-four percent of all cardiac arrests in adults occur as a result of VF/VT. VF/VT in the heart's inability to deliver oxygenated blood due to the body. Each passing minute that a victim remains in VF/VT results in a seven to ten percent decrease in the victim surviving the incident. Average nationwide arrival of emergency first responders (EMS, fire, and police) is seven to ten minutes from the time of the initial call to 911, thus resulting in a maximum thirty-forty percent chance of the victim surviving. At the time the body enters the state of VF/VF, the body's vital organs begin to immediately die. Irreversible brain cell death begins in just four-six minutes. With the brain being the body's chief control center, subsequent organ damage is inevitable.
Why Do I Need an AED
Average nationwide time of arrival of emergency first responders (EMS, fire, and police pending the services are available and not already on other runs) is seven to ten minutes from the time of the initial call to 911, thus resulting in only a thirty-forty percent chance of the victim surviving. At the time the body enters the state of VF/VF, the body's vital organs begin to immediately die. Irreversible brain cell death (the body's chief operating system begins in just four-six minutes resulting in death of the body's other vital organs. Public access defibrillation programs that place automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in areas where cardiac arrests may occur can reduce the response time up to three to five minutes.
How Much Does an AED Cost?
AEDs currently (prior to April 1, 2024) range between $2,000 - $4,000. (Please see our "Online Store" for greater detail. Zoll Manufacturing has already agreed to a cost increase as of the previously mentioned date.
