TK is right..The sooner the shocks are delivered the better..
Yes, there are defibrillator's on the Medic trucks, as well as all the Cardiac drugs needed for an arrest..
I agree 100% TV should have AED's strategically located throughout the area..
CPR, and AED courses should be offered to the residents..I am sure the hospital can advise where they are given and how often, if not the Red Cross will advise..
