Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), AEDs and more.
What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)?
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a medical emergency where the heart suddenly stops beating, causing a loss of blood flow to the brain and organs. It can happen unexpectedly to anyone, anywhere, and at any time. Immediate intervention is crucial for survival.
What is an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)?
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device that saves lives by delivering a controlled electric shock to the heart. In case of a sudden cardiac arrest, the patient’s heart rhythm needs to be reset quickly, which can only be done through defibrillation using an AED. While starting immediate CPR is essential, it alone is not sufficient to reset the heart rhythm. An AED will deliver a controlled electric shock to get the heart beating normally again.
Why is an AED important for survival?
In the event of a sudden cardiac arrest, every minute without defibrillation reduces the chance of survival by up to 10%. Quick access to an AED can significantly increase the chances of survival.
Is an AED safe and easy to use?
Absolutely! AEDs are user-friendly and safe to operate. Our range is designed for public access and requires no specialised training. Once activated, AEDs guide the user step-by-step until emergency services arrive, with simple graphics and clear voice commands making them easy for anyone to use. Using an AED poses no risk—you cannot harm the person, be harmed, or be held liable.
Good Samaritan laws protect those who assist in emergencies.
Do I need training to use a defibrillator?
Defibrillators are designed for use by anyone, requiring no prior training. They provide clear visual and verbal instructions to guide you through each step. While each defibrillator model may vary slightly, it’s beneficial to familiarise yourself with your chosen AED. Our learning hub resources section includes demonstration videos for all the devices we offer.
How can AED Authority help with grant applications?
AED Authority provides expert guidance throughout the grant application process, assists in selecting the ideal AED, and offers comprehensive support for installation and maintenance.
