Why is the
Great Aussie AED Hunt Important
Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are designed to be user-friendly, ensuring that anyone can use them easily, even without any prior training. This means that in a critical situation, any bystander can step in to provide immediate assistance to the patient. This accessibility reinforces the vital role AEDs play in our communities, acting as a first line of defence when a cardiac emergency occurs.
The importance of using an AED within the first three minutes of a cardiac arrest cannot be overstated, as it drastically increases the chances of survival. To further facilitate this, Heart of the Nation has developed an app that provides a comprehensive view of the Heart of the Nation AED network. With this app, locating a nearby AED is just a few taps away, ensuring that these life-saving devices can be accessed quickly and efficiently when every second counts.
