Quick response is the key to increasing the survival rate from sudden cardiac arrest.
Recent advances in design and technology have made it possible for people who don't have advanced lifesaving training to safely use AEDs. The 500 analyzes a patient's condition and tells the operator, through a voice prompt, whether to apply a defibrillation shock. Safeguards built into the device will not allow it to shock if it is not called for. In 1993, several French communities conducted a one-year study to test the idea that early response could increase survival rates from cardiac arrest. The studies showed survival rates from treatable cardiac arrest improved to 30 percent.
