Alarmingly, survival from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) has halved during the COVID-19 pandemic, down to just 6.1% from an average of 12%. Research shows survival rates of up to 70% can be achieved if an AED is on hand.
75% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in our homes. Many Australian's don't know what to do in an event of SCA - do you?
