We all know that saving time is crucial in a life-threatening cardiac arrest. That for every minute CPR/ Defibrillation is delayed, the victim’s chance of survival is reduced by 10%.

Well now there is technology available to show you where the closest AED is, Worldwide. This incredibly useful app can be used when travelling so you can be sure the hotel you are staying in or the sport facilities you use are equipped with an AED and therefore safer for you.

This week, the Ministry of Health in Cantabria in Northern Spain, has approved the use of the ‘Cisali’ app, to promote the awareness of AEDs (defibrillators) within the province in an effort to save more lives.
