Cardiac arrest survivor event praises life-saving action on the ice at qplex


Near the dressing rooms, an automated external defibrillator, or AED, caught his eye before he got on the ice. The cardiac arrest survivor event, hosted by Ambulance New Brunswick, recognized the teammates for their quick action. Carr was also presented with the ECG rhythm strip from the AED device. Mementos from the event included Mark Carr's ECG rhythm strip from the AED device, and a plaque on the case that says: 'This AED helped save a life.' However, the chances of survival double if an AED is used within the first few minutes of cardiac arrest.
