A recent report highlights "serious deficiencies" in Fulton County, Georgia's 911 call center, including lost calls, missed locations, and a 50-minute delay in arriving to a medical emergency, all leading to potentially life threatening delays. When minutes can mean the difference between life and death, be prepared with an E/Pax emergency oxygen system. Coupled with an AED, chances of a survival increase exponentially.

Anne Arundel County --  firefighters and police officers launched a campaign last week to urge business and community leaders to buy an automated external defibrillator. Studies have shown that immediate CPR and the application of an AED within three minutes drastically increase the chance of survival from sudden cardiac arrest.
