To save one life is as if to save the world.
AED devices only work if people who are trained actually use them. My husband suffered a heart attack while playing basketball at the YMCA in town. They have an AED device and have people there trained in CPR, but no-one used the device to try to save him. I have also learned that if they had it would have "significantly improved his chance of survival".
