Church AED Defibrillators
Because Sudden Cardiac Arrest increases with age many Churches of all denominations have parishioners over the age of 55 years and have purchased AED Defibrillators in case of a 911 emergency of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
If a beloved church member experiences a Sudden Cardiac Arrest event at the church the chance of survival is only 5%. When AEDs are readily available at the church, the lifesaving results can be dramatic. Studies have shown that survival rates as high as 74 percent can be achieved with an effective AED program in place.
Many church pastors have realized their current health and safety programs of calling 911 and having First Aid Kits are not enough during a Sudden Cardiac Arrest. The good news is thousands of churches around the United States have purchased and used life saving AED Defibrillators by having them easily accessible throughout the church including the sanctuary, daycare, church school and gym and to follow instructions from the AED's simple voice prompts to save a life.
