Sudden cardiac arrest ( SCA ) is the sudden,unexpectedloss of
heart function, breathing and consciousness.SCAusually results from
an electrical disturbance in your heart that disrupts its pumping
action and causes blood to stop flowing to the rest of the
body.SCAis different from a heart attack, which deprives the heart
muscle of necessary oxygen. Unfortunately, anyone can sufferSCA.It
can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere - even teenagers.
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical
device used to restore normal heart rhythm to patients inSCA .
