Sudden cardiac arrest can happen in any waiting room or treatment chair. This buying guide compares the ZOLL AED 3 and ZOLL AED Plus side by side, so practice managers and clinicians can choose the right defibrillator for their team and patients.
When a patient collapses, your team is the first responder
It happens in a split second. A patient collapses in the waiting room or the treatment chair, the victim of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and the clock starts ticking. Your team calls for help and paramedics are on their way, but precious seconds are racing by.
The best chance of survival is immediate CPR and a rescuer with an automated external defibrillator (AED). Research shows the probability of survival goes up dramatically when CPR is performed, and an AED is applied before an ambulance arrives.² In a practice or clinic, that rescuer is your receptionist, your nurse, your dental assistant or your practitioner.
The latest guidelines from resuscitation councils worldwide are clear: successful defibrillation must be supported with high-quality CPR. The AED’s first heart analysis is critical. If it calls for no shock, only CPR can lead to a shockable rhythm on the next analysis, because CPR provides a struggling heart with the oxygenated blood needed to help restore a normal rhythm.
That’s why the AED you choose should do more than deliver a shock. It should coach your team through every compression.
