The Importance of Equipping Your Aircraft with a Defibrillator
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) does not discriminate based on location, including high altitudes. Whether aboard a private jet, a commercial airliner, or a helicopter, readiness to respond to a cardiac emergency is crucial. Access to Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is naturally restricted during flight, highlighting the necessity for immediate onsite interventions. A Philips HeartStart Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is essential, as it can significantly increase survival chances by providing timely defibrillation. Equip your aircraft today to ensure a heart-safe environment across the skies.
Approximately 24% of SCAs on commercial flights occur on the plane itself
The survival rate for SCAs that occur on planes is around 15%
Nearly a quarter of all in-flight medical emergencies that involve cardiac arrest occur at cruising altitude, complicating immediate care.
In comparison, SCAs at airports have a higher survival rate of about 44%
Immediate access to AEDs and CPR training can significantly increase survival rates in these emergencies
Every minute delay in defibrillation decreases the chance of survival by 10%
