Portable devices proven effective in saving lives of cardiac arrest victims
Without that device, the chance of surviving a sudden cardiac arrest drops to less than 10 per cent.
While most provincial politicians agree it’s a good idea, Bond said the cost of each machine, between $2000 and $2,400, is most likely what’s preventing the bill from becoming a law. A cardiac arrest in which the heart stops beating is usually related to a disruption in the electrical activity of the heart, which causes it to beat too fast or with an irregular pattern. That can keep the heart from pumping blood effectively and can cause it to stop. When breathing is interrupted, without an intervention the brain and other vital organs won’t get the blood and oxygen they need and death can occur in minutes.
“The thing that Bill and I found really compelling is there’s a very low survival rate if you have a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital unless you have CPR and access to an AED, so having them available in public places really does save lives,” said Bond. Following the lead of the Western Hockey League, the B.C. Hockey League made it mandatory in 2020 for each of its teams to have an AED at all team events. Several large stores in the city, including Save-On Foods, Home Depot and London Drugs and Pine Centre Mall, have heart defibrillators, as do the Outdoor Ice Oval, city arenas and some of the private schools.
