F.A.S.T. Rescue Donates two Defibrillators to Kitchener Health Center
(PRWEB) January 21, 2008 -- F.A.S.T. Rescue Inc. (http://www.fast-rescue.com/) donates two Automated External Defibrillators to the Freeport Health Centre in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.
Dean Turner, President of F.A.S.T. Rescue notes that, "Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) have made big news in the past few years."
The Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada estimates that 40,000 cardiac arrests occur in Canada annually, most of which happen outside of medical facilities. The chances of an individual surviving such an episode decrease significantly (by 7-10%) with each passing minute.
"Defibrillation can improve these survival rates by 30% or more if conducted within the first few minutes of cardiac arrest," Turner said. "In fact defibrillation combined with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) can increase survival rates to 50% or more."
Furthermore, provincial law in Ontario now protects anyone who steps up to save a life.
"With the Chase McEachern Act (Heart Defibrillator Civil Liability) of 2007, the Liberal government of Ontario, Canada passed legislation that is hugely important to the question of defibrillators and their use in Ontario," Turner said. "This Act protects people from civil liability when they attempt to save a life using a public Automated External Defibrillator (AED)."
The act is based on the case of an 11 year old Barrie, Ontario resident, Chase McEachern. Diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat, Chase passed out while jogging in his gym class. All attempts to resuscitate him sadly failed. He lives on, however, through the act that bears his name - a law to protect the heroic actions of anyone using a defibrillator to restore a person's heartbeat.
"In order to avoid situations such as these, the Chase McEachern Act was passed," Turner said.
