Higher Education

 Defibrillators treat sudden cardiac arrest, which can unexpectedly strike anyone, even on college campuses. AEDs do not just protect the student athletes at colleges and universities but anyone on campus who may suffer SCA. A recent study of SCA events at NCAA Division I schools found that older nonstudents such as spectators, coaches and officials accounted for 77% of SCA cases at sporting venues.¹ When SCA strikes, time is of the essence – be prepared with HeartStart defibrillators. Philips is the trusted leader with thousands of AEDs deployed on campuses across the U.S., and the official supplier for the National Athletic Trainers’ Association. Choosing HeartStart may be the best decision you ever make.
