8 defibrillators for the municipality of Altendorf

Sudden cardiac death is the most common fatal form of heart disease. Studies prove: Lay defibrillators can save lives. In the event of cardiac arrest, every minute counts. It can take up to ten minutes until the ambulance arrives on the scene - this time can be bridged with the help of automated external defibrillators (AED) and with cardiac massage.

The operation of the defibrillator is very simple and self-explanatory. The device gives precise instructions on what to do by means of a voice output. The defibrillator recognises any errors independently and adjusts itself accordingly. If the analysis of the heart rhythm shows that the cardiac output is insufficient and needs to be supported, targeted electric shocks are delivered. Accidental or incorrect shock delivery is impossible.
