Our friends at the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation have created an amazing group to assist anyone touched by cardiac arrest: www.sca-aware.org/sca-network Everyone at Avive wishes you the very best in your recovery.

@@avivesolutions thankyou very much

Our goal is certainly to make AEDs more accessible to people everywhere. To help in this effort we do have a subscription plan called the LIFESaver Plan. Also, depending upon where you live, you may be eligible to join one of our CARE Teams. Give us a call to talk about it! 1(800) 489-4428

@@avivesolutions thats great!

Hi there! Thanks for watching and asking the question. This is actually not a reenactment. Here is a link to view Chris' full story: th-cam.com/video/gPdlCUTMpcA/w-d-xo.html

That is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your save story with us. Stories like yours are what motivates our team! We agree with you that everyone should learn CPR and know where the closest AED is at all times. You just never know when Sudden Cardiac Arrest will strike. We wish you and your Dad both the very best.

Thank you for this question! We recommend you discuss this with your doctor. AEDs can treat hearts in two of four irregular rhythms, Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) or Ventricular Fibrillation (VF). Learn more about shockable rhythms here: avive.life/blog/shockable-vs-non-shockable-heart-rhythms/ Generally speaking, Avive strives to normalize having AEDs in the home because 70% of cardiac arrests happen at home. Personal defibrillators at home are ideal for individuals with known heart problems or a family history of cardiac disease.

This is a really great question! When a person goes into Sudden Cardiac Arrest sometimes they exhibit what is called agonal breathing for seconds or minutes after their heart stops beating. It is not normal breathing. It sounds like snoring, snorting, gasping, or labored breathing. The person will appear to be choking or having an involuntary gasp reflex. Agonal breathing indicates that someone is likely dying. Acting quickly can save a life!

Great question! You are correct. Our partnership with RapidSOS allows 911 telecommunicators in participating 4 Minute City Programs to “dispatch” nearby Avive Connect AEDs to patients in need and receive valuable data from the AED during a rescue. 911 centers do need to opt in. If you're interested in bringing Avive to your community please reach out to us learn more: avive.life/4-minute-city/

We look forward to the day when AEDs are as commonplace in our society as cell phones and fire extinguishers! Avive Connect AEDs are strategically distributed to hundreds of volunteer CARE Team members in our 4 Minute Cities, getting more AEDs into more places for quicker response times.

Will's Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) occurred before the vaccine was available. SCA has been a leading cause of death across all ages for decades, unfortunately. We're hoping to change that!

A person in Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) will be unconscious AND not breathing normally. A person who is responsive is not in SCA. Learn more here: avive.life/blog/cpr-on-women-gender-differences/

@@avivesolutions British irony doesn't pan out well in text across cultural lines. In short and to the nub of it. As a Man the risk is too great to get involved. It may be that the woman is unconscious but in the middle of carrying out CPR she comes round as it was not a heart attack or stoke at all, and CPR was not necessary at that time. The Man who thought he was doing the right thing now finds himself in a situation where the Woman may decide she was touched inappropriately. As a Man I can avoid that whole scenario by crossing the street and letting a strong independent woman be the good Samaritan.

@@FHIPrincePeter At the end of the day women prefer life over death. Bystanders stepping up to take quick action, implementing "Call Push Shock" when SCA strikes are key to improving survival outcomes for both men and women.

Indeed

It's pretty startling, isn't it? Its not unheard of for people with no warning signs or family history of heart disease to experience Sudden Cardiac Arrest. As far as we know, he still isn’t sure why it happened. This is why its a good idea to be prepared by knowing how to perform CPR and use an AED. We're working hard to make AEDs more accessible and affordable so that they are available when and where they're needed. We're grateful to Dr. Flanary for sharing his story to raise awareness about how CPR and AEDs saves lives.

His SCA occurred before COVID vaccines were available. He had no warning signs or family history of heart disease, and as far as we know, he still isn’t sure why it happened. This is not unheard of, as many cases of SCA remain unexplained. This is exactly why its a good idea to be prepared with CPR training and an AED on hand or nearby. Thankfully, Dr. Flanary uses his platform as a speaker and comedian to raise awareness about how CPR and AEDs saves lives.

Wonderful to hear that you are connecting with our mission! Please do explore our open roles- we'd love to hear from you! #ThriveWithAvive avive.life/careers/

Yes! The Flanary family does own an AED and they are wonderful advocates for CPR & AED awareness.

Hello! Yes, Kristin received T-CPR instructions from a telecommunicator. She describes her experience here: avive.life/blog/telecommunicator-cpr/

It indeed did not have anything to do with that. At that time the pokie things you probably mean were not invented yet. Which is why ppl were isolating and she had to find thing out via twitter rather than being able to visit him n person.
