I was worried that he would have a heart problem during his workouts at home. I have many decades as an ER nurse and felt it was best to have our own defibrillator, since the EMTs can take over 20 minutes to respond to our area. This is very easy to use and fits on a shelf near the exercise equipment. I have extra equipment like a respirator mask nearby that I know how to use in an emergency I feel the cost is worth it since I have seen many patients survive arrest with defibrillation. It’s important to take a CPR course to use it correctly. There are coupons in the package for a reduced price for the course too.
