"Public access defibrillation programs that place automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in areas where cardiac arrests may occur can reduce the response time up to three to five minutes. The following references provide information for establishing an effective AED program in the workplace."

"Public access defibrillator programs play a vital role in improving cardiac arrest survival rates as timely defibrillation is vital for a successful resuscitation. 

According to a study published by the American Heart Association, early defibrillation within the first 3-5 minutes after a victim collapses can result in a survival rate as high as 49-75%. However, for every minute that defibrillation is delayed, survival rates decrease by 7-10%. These statistics highlight the critical role public access defibrillators play in bridging the time gap between cardiac arrest onset and emergency medical services (EMS) arrival. By recognizing the significance of early defibrillation and understanding the importance of having an AED in public locations, we can appreciate why establishing these programs is crucial."
