Comprehensive solutions for first aid in the event of cardiac arrest<\/p>\n\t\t
In Italy 60,000 people die every year of sudden cardiac arrest. 84% of events happen outside hospital facilities, 5% of these happen in the workplace.Cardiac arrest can affect anyone, almost always without warning and sometimes even people without a medical history of heart disease.In the event of cardiac arrest, having an automated external defibrillator (AED) nearby can mean the difference between life and death. It is necessary to intervene as soon as possible with a defibrillator, the quickest tool to restore the correct heart rhythm.Furthermore, in the case of first aid, what would happen if the defibrillator was not available due to a previously undetected malfunction or because regular maintenance had not been carried out? It is necessary to monitor the availability of the device 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so that it is always ready to be used and functioning properly.There are more and more sectors of activity and places that are obliged to have a defibrillator, but awareness of the importance of AEDs as life-saving devices is increasing even where there is no such obligation.Semi-automatic and automatic defibrillators combine ease of use and reliability and are always connected and monitored by Axitea’s Security Operation Center, to ensure that they are always ready for use in case of need.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
For every minute that passes from the cardiac arrest event, in the absence of rescue and defibrillation intervention, the survival hope is reduced by 10%. Defibrillation increases the chance of saving a life by 75%.<\/p>\t\t\n\t
