Why you should invest in an AED? Here are the facts:

  • 60,000 Canadians suffer out of hospital sudden cardiac arrest every year
  • Less than 3,000 will survive (5 – 7% survival) sudden cardiac arrest
  • First Responders rarely arrive in time averaging 8 minutes in Ontario
  • Brain death starts in 4 – 6 minutes from the time of collapse
  • Every minute without high quality CPR and rapid defibrillation equals a reduction in survival by 7 – 10%
