Facts and figures

• more than 80% of all cardiac deaths happen at home, in your spare time or at work.
• In Austalia almost 30,000 people die of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) a year.
• You are more likely to die of SCA than of Cancer
• You are most likely to die of SCA outside an area of medical help
• SCA strikes suddenly and time is of the essence
• Every minute of delay reduces chance of survival by 10% - after 10 minutes it’s all over
• Statistics show the average ambulance response time is above 12 minutes
• Without effective CPR & defibrillation you have about 4 minutes before risk of irreversible damage or death
• If there was a vaccine developed that was effective against  cancer, would you not buy it? Defibrillation and CPR is the only effective treatment for SCA
• Do you have a fire extinguisher in your house or workplace? Nearly 30,000 Australians die from SCA each year - you are more likely to die of SCA than in a fire

The only solution is defibrillation. The device delivers a therapeutic shock to the heart which restores normal rhythm
