Defibrillator for Golf Course

Donation protected
In Canada, 40,000 people die of sudden cardiac arrest each year. 

Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death in Saskatchewan.  When sudden cardiac arrest occurs, the chance of survival is zero without fast action – including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use of a device called an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

Combined, these actions improve survival rates by close to 50 per cent if delivered in the first few minutes. With each passing minute, the probability of survival declines by 7 to 10 per cent.

Until recently, only medical and paramedical staff could use defibrillators. However, technology exists today that allows people with minimal training to utilize an AED safely, making public access to defibrillators crucially important and potentially saving thousands of lives.  

Golf courses are typically on the  outskirts of cities and it often takes a lot longer for emergency personel to respond.

Although a heart attack can happen to anyone, of any age, it does happen more often to older people. People who are enjoying retirement.
