AEDs are designed to revive victims of sudden cardiac arrest, which strikes about 380,000 Americans each year and is the leading cause of death in the U.S.
Public places and private workplaces across the nation are working to better respond to cardiac emergencies by stepping up efforts to map the location of the closest AEDs and developing new ways to access this information.
If you are in the safety business, most likely you are well aware of the function of an automated external defibrillator (AED) and its value in saving lives.
1. Educational institutions: Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) claims more than 250,000 lives per year, regardless of age. With incidents increasingly happening on school properties, including athletic fields and courts, the need for AEDs in educational institutions is on the rise.
According to the American Heart Association, over 300,000 sudden cardiac arrests (SCA) occur annually in the U.S., and according to OSHA, about 10,000 occur at work.
A study of cardiac arrest deaths linked to automated external defibrillators (AEDs) found that nearly a quarter of them were due to dead batteries in the devices.
