Imagine a killer that strikes the total population of the city of New York, Chicago, London or Mexico City every year!
Once every 3 seconds. 25 thousand each day. 9 million per year. Every minute counts.
These staggering numbers belong to Sudden Cardiac Arrest, one of the leading causes of mortality in the world. It affects people of all ages, on all continents and at any time. And frighteningly, only 5% of those affected survive. Why? Because the only treatment for sudden cardiac arrest is CPR and a rapid delivery of an electrical shock to the heart.
How? By using an automated external defibrillator (AED) If only a shock from an AED could be delivered within 6 minutes, survival rates would increase to a staggering 45%.
Unfortunately, most paramedics and professionals fail to
make it to the scene within 6 minutes. So, the answer is simple: accessible, functioning AEDs reached within 6 minutes will make a huge difference.
Rotaid 24/7 AED Monitored Cabinets are dedicated to providing precisely that.
