AEDs (Automatic External Defibrillators) can dramatically increase the chance of survival of a victim who is suffering a sudden cardiac arrest.

The current rate of survival without a defibrillator is less than 5%. If a defibrillator is used within the first 3-5 minutes, the chance of survival can be as high as 70%.

With simple audio and visual commands, AEDs are designed to be used by virtually anyone with little or no experience.
