Every where you go, it seems as if you look you will see an AED in public use. this holds especially true in Schools, Churches, Shopping malls, and most large businesses because AEDS have proven that they truly can save a life and virtually anyone can use one. In the US alone 400,000 people suffer from Sudden Cardiac Arrest, nearly 40% of those could be saved if AEDS were in used.
There are several Brands of AEDS, I really Like the Philips HeartStart models and The Zoll AED Plus. These are two of the largest manufacturers of aeds with years of service under their belts and countless save stories. The Zoll AED Plus provides the rescuer Real CPR feedback during the emergency which is especially good for those who have little to no cpr training. The Philips HeartStart AED models have step by step voice prompts to guide you through the rescue and the Philips HeartStart FRX also has a child key that can be inserted into the device to swith the amount of energy delivered while still using the same pads, which saves you money when replacing expired pads.
