THE AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR (AED) IS A CRUCIAL TOOL IN THE PREHOSPITAL CHAIN OF SURVIVAL
A model for saving lives in cardiac emergencies
–
A tool for everyone
By using an AED before emergency responders arrive, you play a key role in saving a life.
Early use of an AED triples the chances of survival during cardiac arrest.
The AED registry makes it possible to quickly locate accessible defibrillators so that bystanders can intervene before emergency services arrive, significantly increasing the chances of survival during cardiac arrest.
A law ensuring public access to defibrillators is essential to provide victims with rapid care.
For a quick and effective response
The AED registry compiles information on devices available in public spaces across Quebec. Connected to the 911 dispatch centre, this system allows operators to quickly direct first responders to the nearest AED. Thanks to this registry, citizens and emergency services can act swiftly to save lives.
