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.
