AEDs for Physician Offices – Are you prepared?

If your patient goes into sudden cardiac arrest, (as Hernando Chong, D.O.’s patient did), will you be ready?

According to Seth L. Toback, MD, FAAP, board-certified medical director in urgent care medicine and pediatrics in Washington, PA., "Most primary care physicians report at least one emergency presenting to their office per year." He found sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is among the most common adult and childhood emergencies in the office setting. Worse, most offices are not fully prepared for these medical emergencies.

An AED in the office is cheap insurance

For how inexpensive AEDs are now, it’s easy and practical to include immediate defibrillation into your emergency preparedness plan. When you do, consider the Powerheart AED G3 (for layperson and basic life support-trained use) and the Powerheart AED G3 Pro (for advanced cardiac life support-trained use).

Physicians prefer Cardiac Science AEDs: According to Q3'08 GHX Market Intelligence, ours are the best-selling in the physician office. We can help you select the Powerheart AED that best meets your needs. The most popular model, Powerheart AED G3 Automatic, analyzes the heart rhythm and knows when to deliver (or not deliver) the shock – automatically and with no human intervention – and then prompts for CPR. Our comprehensive package includes everything you need so you are ‘rescue ready’ on day one.
