Automated External Defibrillators
The University of Tampa has AEDs (automated external defibrillators) on campus to help increase the chances of surviving a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Each year, sudden cardiac arrest claims the lives of at least 250,000 people. The only known treatment for sudden cardiac arrest is the use of a defibrillator, which uses a powerful electric shock to stop the abnormal rhythm so that the heart can return to a more normal beating pattern.
