In Canada, 35,000 to 45,000 people die of sudden cardiac arrest each year. Early defibrillation is the only effective treatment for sudden cardiac arrest. For every one minute delay in defibrillation, the survival rate of a cardiac arrest victim decrease by 7 to 10%. After more than 12 minutes of ventricular fibrillation, the survival rate of adults is less than 5%.
