No event marks the threshold from life to death as clearly as a cardiac arrest. From now on, it is a question of being or not being. Life is on a knife edge. In Switzerland, someone dies of sudden cardiac arrest about every 90 minutes. In sudden cardiac arrest, the so-called "ventricular fibrillation" often occurs and the victim collapses suddenly and usually without any warning, loses consciousness and immediately stops breathing. From this point on, the brain and organs are no longer supplied with blood and oxygen. Survival now depends on the so-called chain of survival, which can be initiated by anyone and for which the best possible conditions can be created even before the sudden cardiac arrest occurs through training, first aid materials and a defibrillator (AED). If no effective resuscitation measures are initiated and the ventricular fibrillation is not ended within the shortest possible time by defibrillation, there is usually hardly any chance of survival.
