Having Defibrillators in Schools

When someone goes into cardiac arrest, their heart starts to quiver and they need shocked immediately, or they'll die. Calling 911 and waiting 5-10 minutes (in most cases) for paramedics isn't enough. This is where automated external defibrillators (AED's) come into play. Having these in and around schools is cruical to the life of the students. If someone goes into cardiac arrest in a phys. ed. class the teacher could save that students life by using an AED. I think this would be a wise decision for all schools to invest in AED's. For every minute a person is in cardiac arrest, their chance of survival decreases 10%.
