to defibrillation is the most critical factor in survival of sudden cardiac arrest (sca).
If an aed is "on-site" within two minutes there is an 80% chance that the victim will survive. This is one of the reasons that survival rates improve in areas with active aed programmes. Remember, every minute that passes before defibrillation the survival rate reduces by 7-10 percent. Currently in ireland the survivability rate for out of hospital cardiac arrest is 1%
the provision of automated external defibrillators (aeds) in workplaces to assist in the prevention of sudden cardiac death should be considered. As mentioned in the introduction, early defibrillation using an aed is one of the vital links in the “chain of survival”.
