Sudden cardiac death (SCD) claims over 340,000 lives annually, often occurring unexpectedly in people with pre-existing heart conditions. Early defibrillation is crucial for survival, with the probability of successful defibrillation decreasing over time, and automated external defibrillators (AEDs) provide an accessible and user-friendly option for responding to such emergencies. The increasing availability of AEDs is seen as a significant advancement in emergency care, potentially making them as commonplace as fire extinguishers.
