In 2016, Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) struck more than 350,000 people in the U.S. As October is SCA Awareness Month, the Nice Guys want to spark a conversation to ensure that every one of our customers understands what SCA is and what their company can do during an emergency situation.
What is SCA?
SCA is when the heart unexpectedly and abruptly stops beating properly. In other words, it’s when the heart’s electrical systems malfunction. This is not to be confused with a heart attack, which happens when the blood supply to the heart is suddenly blocked.
Being Prepared in the Office
The only effective treatment for a SCA is an electrical shock administered by an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). These units are sold in compartments that can be stored around the office or mounted to walls.
Why Choose ZOLL AEDs?
At Garvey’s Office Products, we stock ZOLL AED’s. These units come with Real CPR Help Technology. What this means is that the unit provides real-time feedback to make sure that you are using it properly in an emergency situation. This allows the person who is rescuing to be confident that they are providing the best assistance possible.
