If a person has a heart attack, their chance of surviving decreases by 10% every minute without treatment.
If someone performs CPR (the “kiss of life”) on them, they have a 7% overall chance of survival.
BUT
If an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) used as soon as possible their chance of survival goes up to well over 50%.
We are very pleased to say that Mid-Wessex Orthodontics has invested in this high-tech equipment which could make the difference between life and death to anyone unfortunate enough to suffer a heart attack.
