Cardiac arrest is when the heart stops beating properly. When this happens, the heart needs to be shocked into beating properly again. This procedure is called defibrillation. According to Heart and Stroke foundation of Canada, as many as 45,000 canadians can experience a sudden cardiac arrest each year.

According to the Heart and Stroke foundation, the immediate use of an AED along with Cardiopulmonary recuscitation (CPR) can increase chance of survival by 75%.
