Sudden cardiac death or a cardiac standstill may occur in men and woman of any age. It may be caused, among other factors, by a sudden chaotic cardiac rhythm. One need not suffer from a specific cardiac disease. A protracted attack of influenza or overwork might suffice.
Defibrillation is defined as an electric impulse delivered to the heart in order to stop a chaotic cardiac rhythm.
An AED is an Automatic External Defibrillator - a defibrillator that emits its impulse from the outside through the body surface, via plate electrodes, and passes these to the heart. The time and intensity of the shock are determined automatically.
A PAD is a Public Access Defibrillator. It is a defibrillator at a public site, which can be easily used by any man or woman, in fact even by children. It is as simple to operate as a fire extinguisher and should also be mounted and used in the same manner. These devices are provided with symbols and written instructions so that any person can perform defibrillation.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is defined as reanimation of the heart and lungs, also known as reanimation, and is one of the most important links in what is known internationally as the "chain of survival".
A large number of studies have shown that at least one sudden cardiac arrest occurs every year in every 1000 individuals per location.
An AED defibrillator costs about 2,000 Euros (plus VAT). A human life, on the other hand, is invaluable. If you as a company, communal authority, a public authority or a public facility support this initiative by purchasing such an apparatus you possibly will not merely maintain life but also receive striking publicity (board, sticker, etc. from your supplier) and, when you register, your name will be entered free of cost into our database. Thus every person on site will be able to see that you are actively helping to save life. Our register, which is advertised for publicly can and will cause consumers to visit and stay in your hotel, cafe, restaurant or petrol station because their hearts are in the safest environment there. |
