THE FACTS
Around 5-10 Australians die each day from out-of-hospital sudden
cardiac arrest
The current survival rate from
sudden cardiac arrest is less than 5%
By having a defibrillator no
more than a minute or two away, the change of survival could
rise to over 80%
For every minute defibrillation
is delayed, the chance of survival decreases by about 10%
