It's TIME to Register Your AED: The moment someone has a cardiac arrest, the clock starts ticking. Every minute without CPR & defibrillation reduces their chances of survival by 10%. Many defibrillators are never used because emergency services don’t know where they are or how to access them. EVERYONE DESERVES A ‘FIGHTING CHANCE’ OF SURVIVING OHCA > Defibrillation within 3–5 min of collapse can produce survival rates as high as 50–70%. >This can be achieved through public access defibrillation, when a bystander uses a nearby AED to deliver the first shock. > Each minute of delay to defibrillation reduces the probability of survival to hospital discharge by 10%. > In the UK, fewer than 2% of victims have an AED deployed before the ambulance arrives. > It can also happen to seemingly fit and healthy young people #SADS YOU! too can make a difference, Learn CPR & how to use an AED #everysecondcounts #simpleskillsavelives #lifematters #safercommunities ANYONE CAN BE A LIFESAVER (fb)
