AEDs for Golf, Tennis, Basketball, Baseball & Football
Did you know that golf courses are the fifth most common public place for people to experience sudden cardiac arrest? Playing other sports such as tennis, basketball, baseball and football can also cause a person’s heart rate to rise rapidly resulting in an irregular heartbeat. This pressure on the heart along with body fatigue can cause an individual to collapse and have a sudden cardiac arrest. The good news is having an Automated External Defibrillator or AED close by can make the difference between life and death.
The American Heart Association recommends defibrillation within 3-5 minutes. Studies show that when AEDs are strategically placed within the 3-5 minute recommended response times throughout golf courses, tennis and basketball courts, football and baseball fields survival rates can be as high as 74 percent—up from a mere 5 percent without at AED. Listed below are AED Defibrillators that are easy to use with simple voice prompts for a non-medical person to respond to a sudden cardiac arrest with an AED to save a life.
