Want to protect your families health when immediate medical attention may not be available? Of course, we all do. For the best chance of survival from Sudden Cardiac Arrest caused by Ventricular Fibrillation, a defibrillator should be used within 5 minutes. Yet, less than 1 in 20 people survive largely because a defibrillator does not arrive in time. For those with the means (under $1,500) and especially with a risk of heart problems, a home defibrillator should take its place right next to the fire extinguisher, security system and carbon monoxide detector.
Be prepared for the unexpected.
When sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) strikes, the electrical system of the heart short circuits, causing the heart to quiver rather than pump in a normal rhythm. It typically results in the abnormal heart rhythm know as ventricular fibrillation (VF). It usually happens without warning and the majority of people have no previously recognized symptoms of heart disease. And it most often happens at home. For the best chance of survival from SCA caused by VF, a defibrillator should be used within 5 minutes. Yet, less than 1 in 20 people survive largely because a defibrillator does not arrive in time.
Both these models provide simple instructions and automatically determine if a shock is needed, prompting you to press a button if it is. (A shock is only useful in cases of ventricular fibrillation and could cause injury in other cases.)
