Brazilian football player Serginho died during a game last night, after a sudden cardiac arrest. An AED was not available at the stadium. It took less than a minute to start CPR, but about 7 minutes to get to an ambulance (the driver wasn´t there and left the ambulance locked) and more than 10 minutes to get to a ED/defibrillator.

In the US, now you can have an AED at your home. Here, big stadiums still don´t have AEDs. 

Sad.

Felix Albers.
