TIME IS CRITICAL FOR SURVIVAL
Several studies document the eects of time to debrillation
on survival from cardiac arrest and the consensus is that
minutes count: If a rescuer can provide debrillation in the
rst minute, the victim’s chance of survival increases to more
than 90 percent. However, each minute that passes will
decrease the victim’s chance of survival by 7–10 percent
if no debrillation is provided.

Why You Need an AED
EMPOWER EVERYDAY PEOPLE TO BECOME
PART OF THE CHAIN OF SURVIVAL
THROUGH POWERHEART® AEDS
Each year, more than 17.3 million people throughout the
globe die from SCA, according to the American Heart
Association. SCA is triggered by an abrupt, unpredictable
electrical malfunction in the heart causing an irregular
heartbeat. Victims are often healthy and t adults and
children, who have no known risk factors. The sooner the
debrillation, the better the victim’s chances of survival –
precisely why having your own AED to use while you’re
waiting for emergency medical responders is so important.
