Martek Medical are the UK distributor for the Lifeline Automated External Defibrillator (AED) from Defibtech – Saving lives at the touch of a button.
140,000 people die from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) each year in the UK; it is the world’s biggest killer and can happen to anyone, anywhere and at anytime.
For many victims there are no signs of a problem until it is too late. It can strike at anyone, anytime, anywhere, without warning.
The only proven way to treat SCA is by delivering an electric shock to the heart with a defibrillator to restore a normal heart rhythm. This is called defibrillation and can make the difference between saving a life and having a victim die. If a victim received defibrillation within the vital 3 minutes, chances of survival are increased by up to a staggering 70%.
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable device that analyses the heart rhythm and prompts the user to deliver a shock if required.
