Sudden cardiac arrest facts
30,000 in the UK suffer from sudden cardiac arrest outside of hospital environments.1
Most cardiac arrests (72%) occur in the home or a workplace (15%).2
Research has shown that deploying a defibrillator within 3–5 minutes of collapse can produce survival rates as high as 50–70%.3
Less than 1 in 10 people in the UK survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Having a defibrillator available can be lifesaving.4
What makes Philips AEDs different than other AEDs?
HeartStart AEDs (automated external defibrillators) are designed to treat the most common type of sudden cardiac arrest, ventricular fibrillation or irregular heart rhythms. Using the same technology as first responders and emergency service use, the AED devices provide an electrical current through electrode pads, as well as guide you on how to perform CPR to help you save a life. Studies show that CPR and a shock from a defibrillator within minutes of collapse can increase survival rate by 90%.4 The right AED should be a vital part of your first aid kit.
