Les défibrillateurs sauvent des vies

In Switzerland, a cardiac arrest takes place every 1 to 2 hours. Only 20% of victims are resuscitated by a third party before the arrival of the ambulance. Yet, every second counts: the brain lesions start 4 minutes after cardiac arrest, and every minute we lose 10% chance of survival. They become irreversible after 10 minutes. Simple to use, defibrillators greatly increase the chances of survival for people with cardiac arrest. However, it is essential to use them very quickly. No specialised knowledge is required to use a modern defibrillator. So feel free to use it.
