Anything can happen.
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) occurs when an electrical malfunction of the heart causes it to suddenly stop beating properly. There are often no warning signs.
An automated external defibrillator (AED) delivers an electrical shock to the heart to stop an irregular heartbeat, allowing a normal rhythm to return.
Anyone can save a life.
But most bystanders don’t know how to react during a sudden cardiac arrest event. CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, involves the use of chest compressions on a person who’s not breathing or whose heart has stopped.
With a ZOLL® AED and quick action, you could help avert tragedy. All ZOLL AEDs support rescuers in performing high-quality CPR through integrated, real-time feedback technology and will deliver a defibrillating shock to a sudden cardiac arrest victim, if needed. They are designed to remove the guesswork so users can rescue with confidence when every minute counts.
