Why buy a defibrillator?
Well, you never know when the heart of a family member, friend, or colleague may stop and you only have a few minutes before brain damage occurs.

Somethings to consider before you buy an automatic external defibrillator:
Do you have a risk for sudden death? AED only work for certain heart disorders and rhythms. They do not revive everyone who arrests. Some individuals need much more than an AED to revive them.
Do you live alone? If you live alone, an AED is useless. You need someone to activate the machine on you.
Physical disabilities: If you live with someone who has physical disabilities or is cognitively impaired, then there is no point in getting the device. While the AED is simple to use, it does requires some ability to comprehend the situation.
Costs. On average an AED costs anywhere from $1,500 and above. No health plan or Medicare covers for this equipment.
Other medical problems. If you do have a cancer, a terminal illness, have a weak heart or you have decide that you do not want to undergo resuscitation, then an AED is not something you should buy.
Today, some AED are available without a prescription. The biggest question before you purchase one is to ask yourself whether you need done. If the answers are yes, go and discuses the topic with your health care provider who can better assess the pros and cons about having such a device at home.
