Case Studies

Hartsville YMCA | Hartsville, SC

The first reported save with a Defibtech AED occurred at the Hartsville YMCA in South Carolina, where a member collapsed during a workout. Another YMCA member was able to successfully rescue the victim despite never having been trained on the Lifeline AED. This YMCA location had purchased the AED only weeks prior to the rescue. They had previously not owned an AED because they could not afford one.

Investment Firm | Dallas, TX

A middle-aged employee at the firm suddenly fell backwards in his office, a victim of sudden cardiac arrest. Coworkers called 911 and retrieved the company’s ReviveR AED. One shock was delivered and a full cycle of CPR was performed. By the time EMS arrived, the man’s heartbeat had been restored and he was transported to the hospital for treatment.
