Every day someone dies needlessly from cardiac arrest that could be saved. An AED would have saved their life if one had been available and people were ready to use it. We are beginning to see AEDs in many places such as airports, malls, fitness centers, schools, and office buildings. One day they will be everywhere.

Ultimately having an AED does not save a life, the AED is only the tool.  Having people trained and willing to use an AED as well as perform CPR is what ultimately saves lives.
