Automated External Defibrillator
Edition 8
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is important to understand that survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest are
directly related to how soon victims are defibrillated. For every minute of
delay, the chance of survival declines by 7% to 10%.
Defibrillation cannot assure survival, no matter how rapid the treatment. In
some patients, the underlying problem causing the cardiac arrest is simply
not survivable despite any available care.
