CardiAid – starting hearts, saving lives I
n the UK, around 270,000 people suffer a heart attack each year, about a third of whom die before reaching hospital due to cardiac arrest. Effective CPR by a bystander, provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest, can double a victim’s chance of survival, whilst early defibrillation can triple a victim’s chances.
CardiAid automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are designed specifically for public access use to provide essential electroshock treatment and first aid in the event of an emergency. In situations such as sudden cardiac arrest, acting within minutes is critical to improve chances of recovery, until emergency medical services can reach the patient.
The life-saving device, manufactured in the Netherlands and supplied by Evac+Chair International in the UK, provides comprehensive assistance by talking the user through the life- saving actions needed in an easy, step-by-step manner, helping to improve the overall chances of survival and recovery.
The CardiAid AED lends itself to many business environments, such as hotels, leisure and sports centres, restaurants and cafes. It is also used by emergency response medical services, physicians and dentists, and occupational health and safety practices, ensuring that businesses of all kinds are prepared for this kind of emergency.
