Why having an AED program is important?

The importance of implementing an AED program for law enforcement agencies along with all first responders is crucial to helping save the lives of the people within your community. Below is a quote from an article wrote by Cole Zercoe describing what one California community did to improve their citizens chances of survival from sudden cardiac arrest through the implementation of AED programs.

"When the heart fails, seconds — not minutes — could mean the difference between life and death. There are 326,000 EMS-assessed incidents of cardiac arrest that occur outside of hospitals each year. On average, fewer than 11 percent of the victims survive, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). Increasing access to potentially life-saving automated external defibrillators (AEDs) is a crucial step in attempting to raise the survival rate. 

Over 20 years ago, a sleepy suburban town in the heart of the Silicon Valley started outfitting its first responders and city buildings with AEDs, and now serves as a prime example of such a program’s success."

"After a six-month, thorough review of the technology and its application in emergency situations in the outdoor tropical environment, along with examination of the experience of other public safety agencies, the Rotary Club chose Altra Medical of Pinellas Park (www.altramedical.com) from which the AEDs will be purchased." - Bill Gillen, former President of Tampa Rotary, and Tampa attorney.
