It can happen to anybody, at any time, at any age.

When CPR chest compressions and an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) are used together, the chances of survival from SCA (Sudden Cardiac Arrest) increase from 9% to 50%.

This is why it is vital we know where our nearest AED is located, and how to use it.
