Later came the method of breathing for the victim in respiratory arrest. This is what we know as rescue breathing today. While this was an effective method to keep oxygen in the blood stream, it was, by itself, not as efficient as the combination of chest compressions and ventilations which serve to improve circulation, as well as oxygen saturation. This is the basis of what is taught in CPR classes today.
In October 1992, the Emergency Cardiac Care Committee determined that in addition to chest compressions and ventilations, the adult victim in respiratory and cardiac arrest also needs the use of a defibrillator to increase the chance of survival. The defibrillator is used to stop the inefficient beating of the heart completely. Then the heart has the ability to begin again in a normal rhythm.

What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest ?
Sudden Cardiac Arrest is considered a #1 killer since more than 350,000 Americans die each year from SCA. When a victim suffers from cardiac arrest, their heart stops beating at a normal heart rhythm. Instead their heart beats in a chaotic, irregular fashion called ventricular fibrillation (VF). The victim most often gasps for breaths and ultimately collapses. Death follows in about 7-9 minutes. Every minute that passes decreases a victims chance of survival by 7-10 percent.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest and a Heart Attack.
There is often some confusion between sudden cardiac arrest and a heart attack. These are two different medical ailments, each requiring a particular form of medical attention. In the case of a heart attack, the victims arteries have become narrowed over time due to the buildup of plaque and fatty deposits. This gradual narrowing reduces blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle, eventuallycausing heart failure through necrosis (death of tissue) of the wall of the heart muscle. If caught in time this condition can be treated successfully and a person can continue living a normal

They also guarantee their products and in the event that there is a problem they will replace or refund the cost of the product unlike many other manufacturers.
An automated External Defibrillator or AED is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias or ventricular fibrillation in a patient, and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia of the heart, and than allowing the hear to re-start or re-establish the heart beat or heart rhythm again.
