Automated External Defibrillator Units for Swimming Pools

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is an important tool to have at a swimming pool as it can be used in the event of a cardiac emergency. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year more than 10,000 Americans experience sudden cardiac arrest while swimming or participating in other aquatic activities. A person who experiences cardiac arrest requires immediate treatment with an AED to increase their chances of survival. In addition, AEDs provide a simple and effective way to deliver life-saving shock therapy to restore normal heart rhythm in cases of sudden cardiac arrest. This means that having an AED available at a swimming pool could save the life of someone experiencing this medical emergency. Furthermore, using an AED at the scene increases the chances that the individual can be resuscitated without any long-term complications or damage to vital organs. Ultimately, this makes them more likely to make a full recovery with minimal physical or mental repercussions.
