Having an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) at a school is important because it can save lives in case of sudden cardiac arrest.
Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, including students, teachers, or visitors. AEDs are designed to quickly analyze the heart's rhythm and deliver a potentially life-saving shock to restore normal heart rhythm.
By having an AED readily available, the school can significantly improve the chances of survival for anyone experiencing cardiac arrest until professional medical help arrives.
