More details

Only 3% of cardiac arrests happen within the recommended retrieval distance of a defibrillator, according to the Resuscitation Council (UK).

A defibrillator can mean the difference between life and death for the victim of a sudden cardiac arrest.

The British Heart Foundation’s figures show that only one in ten victims survive but this figure can increase with the use of a defibrillator - survival rates jump from 6 per cent to 74 per cent where a defibrillator is used within 3-5 minutes.
