According to the information available on the website of the Ministry of Health, these are each year Between 40,000 and 50,000 people who die of sudden death, for lack of outside intervention.

An essential device

Since 2007, the ministry has promoted the implementation of AEDs, for automated external defibrillators, across the country. The idea is to install them in particularly frequented places, where the emergency response time is not optimal and in an easily accessible location. Unfortunately, this is not always enough.

Thus, LifeAZ offers its Clark defibrillator for businesses, but also for individuals. As said before, among the 50,000 victims of cardiac arrest each year, 80% of them die at health home. The average age of these people is 60 years. So this does not only concern elderly people who could live alone. In addition, it is recommended toact within 4 minutes after the attack, while the emergency services usually take at least 15 minutes to arrive. If someone has the opportunity to act quickly, lives can be saved.
