If an AED is applied within 2 minutes of collapse...90% chance of survival. If an AED is applied within 3 minutes...74% chance.

The chances of surviving a cardiac arrest with no help...5%.

The heart and brain die in 4-6 min. w/out oxygen. Average response time for EMS is 6-12 minutes, waiting for paramedics is not enough!
