A Sudden Cardiac Arrest victim’s chance of survival decreases by seven to 10 percent for every minute without defibrillation.
With an average response time of seven minutes by EMS, law enforcement is often the first to arrive on the scene of cardiac emergency situations. Equipping police patrol vehicles with automatic external defibrillators can increase survival rates of SCA victims by providing possible lifesaving defibrillation as early as possible.
AED basics
AEDs are lightweight, portable devices designed to save people experiencing SCA in a public setting and can be used on children, teens and adults. Bystanders can operate them by following audible and visual instructions during an emergency.
Defibrillators detect the heart’s rhythm and send potentially lifesaving shocks to the heart if needed. They can help correct an arrhythmia and restore a normal heartbeat if the heart suddenly stops beating.
Law enforcement and AEDs
Studies show police AED programs help decrease the time from the 000 call to first defibrillation and improve the overall survival rates.
How to use an AED as a first responder
1. Start CPR
2. Locate an AED
3. Place electrodes on the chest according to AED instructions
4. If the AED advises a shock, ensure the area around the person is clear
5. Follow the voice prompts from the AED until EMS arrives
The device may instruct you to begin CPR again after analyzing the victim’s heart rhythm. It is critical to provide as much continuous CPR as possible throughout a resuscitation for the best chance of survival. Some AEDs, like Stryker’s LIFEPAK CR2 defibrillator, deliver escalating energy if multiple shocks are needed for difficult-to-defibrillate patients
