Ventricular Fibrillation

Ventricular fibrillation is a life-threatening heart rhythm disturbance where the ventricles quiver rapidly and chaotically instead of pumping blood effectively. This leads to a sudden loss of circulation, causing cardiac arrest within seconds if not treated. It is often triggered by underlying heart disease, heart attack, or electrolyte imbalances. Immediate treatment involves CPR and defibrillation, which delivers an electrical shock to restore a normal heart rhythm.

Our Services

Emergency Response Education

We offer training and resources on CPR and defibrillation to empower individuals to act swiftly in emergency situations.

Defibrillator Guidance

Learn the best practices for using defibrillators in both public spaces and at home.

Bystander Intervention Techniques

Detailed instructions on how bystanders can effectively assist during a cardiac event.

Survival Rate Improvement Strategies

Understanding how immediate action can drastically improve survival rates for cardiac arrest victims.

Maintaining your Defibrillator

 Please inspect your AED or your defibrillator regularly. AEDs have an automatic internal test system.  AEDs should not be tested by turning them on.

Public Access to Defibrillators

Many AEDs are unavailable as they are stored in a locked building. 

Our mission is to securely make the AEDs available at all times.

FAQs

Ventricular Fibrillation is a life-threatening heart rhythm that results in rapid, erratic electrical impulses, preventing the heart from pumping effectively.

Bystander CPR can double or triple a victim's chance of survival. Immediate action is crucial during a cardiac arrest.

Call emergency services immediately, start CPR, and use an AED if available.

Yes, many public spaces have Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) that can be used by bystanders.

Follow the voice prompts provided by the AED and ensure that no one is touching the victim while it delivers a shock.
