  5. The Importance of Having an AED: Be Prepared for Sudden Cardiac Arrest

    Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in the United States, affecting over 350,000 people each year. It can strike anyone, regardless of age or health status, and can occur at any time and in any place. The only way to survive an SCA is with immediate treatment, which is why it's crucial to have an automated external defibrillator (AED) readily available. In today's blog post, we will explore the importance of having an AED and how it can save lives.

    An AED is a portable electronic device that delivers an electric shock to the heart to help restore its normal rhythm. When used within the first few minutes of an SCA, an AED can significantly increase the victim's chances of survival. The longer the delay in treatment, the lower the chances of survival. This is why having an AED readily available is so important.

    AEDs are designed to be easy to use, even for those with little or no medical training. They typically come with step-by-step instructions and voice
