** In some cases the Paramedic or Ambulance is told to stand down before reaching the call but only on advisement of the caller
*** Category A calls are listed as high priority
Every year 300,000 people in the UK suffer a heart attack
Survival rate in the UK is poor
Less than 5% of people who suffer a cardiac arrest outside hospital are expected to survive
Technology is available to improve these statistics in the form of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
When an AED is applied to a casualty in cardiac arrest within the first 3-4 minutes survival rates of 85% have been recorded.
This decreases by approx 10% per minute
