Healthy patient, healthy office
Many people wait far too long before seeking medical
attention for conditions that could have been recognized much
earlier. As a result, a large number of patients who walk
through the doors of their local hospital, clinic, or doctors’
offices are in more serious danger than the average American.
Frequently, people are unaware of hereditary or
genetic maladies that might contribute to their risk of
cardiac arrest and, subsequently, are unable or unwilling to
disclose that information to their medical care givers. When
these patients fall victim to cardiac arrest, it is usually
very sudden and deadly.
Every year, thousands of
people suffer Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in the hospital,
doctor’s office or dentist’s chair. Many of these patients
lose their lives because trained professionals don’t have
access to the equipment they need available in time to save
them.
Without treatment, victims have only minutes to
live. With a quick response, this condition is readily
treatable, with survival rates well over 50%. Unfortunately,
most of the time, even in the medical setting, the necessary
life-saving equipment is not available in time. As a result,
typical survival rates are only 2%-5%.
By providing
simple, cost-effective, Automated External Defibrillators
(AEDs) Lifeline AEDs are making it possible for physicians and
other medical professionals to provide the immediate,
cost-effective, treatment for this deadly event in time to
save their patients, employees and visitors.
Key
advantages of the Lifeline AED:
- Compact and self-contained for easy storage and deployment
- Simple to use so any nearby responder can perform a rescue
- Cost-effective - freeing up funding for other expenditures
- Long-life battery and active status indicator to limit maintenance demands
- Only defibrillation waveform with a Class IIa rating from the American Heart Association
- Low-energy defibrillation to limit post-event damage
- Excellent artifact and noise detection algorithm for medical environments
- Field-proven design
