AEDs for Waterway Vessels
Your passengers and crew members
are the heartbeat of your business
In remote locations, such as a commercial vessel, there is no ambulance on its way, and there is no hospital nearby. AEDs are the only treatment available for passengers or crew members that are victims of sudden cardiac arrest. In challenging environments, an AED provides rescuers with the knowledge and confidence they need to help save a life.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest is caused by chaotic electrical activity in the heart and can only be treated with an electric shock called defibrillation. Recent advances in modern technology, along with legislative support from federal and state governments, have made a solution available to the public. Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are this life-saving solution.
Defibtech AEDs are deployed on inland waterway, coastal, and blue water commercial vessels. Cost-effective, water resistant, easy for non-professionals to operate, and suitable for use in high vibration settings, Defibtech’s AEDs are the ideal solution for treating cardiac arrest away from port.
