With the increasing availability of public defibrillators, some people buy the device for use at home. The demand for the machine is on the rise.
Increasing popularity of AEDs
Some of the possible factors of the increase in the demand for the device might be the aging population or the status of health of the population.
Defibrillators can help save an individual who is in cardiac arrest by delivering a shock to the heart to restore its normal rhythm. Drug stores are not stocking on the device for the health-conscious consumers.
The increasing availability of the device is beneficial if in a high-risk population, especially if family members are trained on how to use the device. This is an advantage in case of emergencies.
