Protect your crew from the world’s biggest killer!
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is the world’s biggest killer, killing over 3 million people worldwide every year. Even on land the chances of the emergency services reaching a victim in time are slim, at sea the chances are zero.
The only proven way to treat SCA is by delivering an electric shock to the heart to restore a normal heart rhythm. This is called defibrillation and can make the difference between saving a life and having a victim die. If a victim receives defibrillation within the vital first 3 minutes the chances of survival are increased by up to a staggering 70%.
What are your risks?
Research by one leading telemedicine company found that 62% of all the deaths on ships attributed to natural causes that they dealt with from 1986-2006, were heart related.
People over the age of 50 have a significantly increased risk of suffering SCA. According to the BIMCO/ISF Manpower 2005 update, over 25% of officers from OECD countries are over the age of 50 and more than 50% are over 40. If you have crew from South Asia, you may be concerned to learn that they are seven times more likely to suffer cardiac arrest than other nationalities.
