Every day Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) kills 12 New Zealanders whose lives could have been saved by an affordable, easy-to-use device.
The survival rate is less than 1% using cardiopulmonary resuscitation alone. If an Automated External Defibrilator (AED) is applied within 3 minutes, 75% of SCA patients will survive.
SCA can affect anyone of any age, background and fitness level – it does not discriminate, and gives no warning as to when it will strike.
