 As many people have heard our father ,Tim Dodd, collapsed at camp and passed later on Monday August 24th. With the time it took for a boat ride and an ambulance his chances for survival would have been greatly increase had there been access to an Automatic External Defibrillator.
As many people have heard our father ,Tim Dodd, collapsed at camp and passed later on Monday August 24th. With the time it took for a boat ride and an ambulance his chances for survival would have been greatly increase had there been access to an Automatic External Defibrillator. According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the odds of survival for an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest are approximately 5%. With each passing minute, the probability of survival declines by 7–10%. In Ontario alone, approximately 6,500 cardiac arrests occur annually outside of the hospital.
As there has been many past incidences of this occurring at lake Panache, we saw the chance to make a change for the better, or at least start the ball rolling. We will be working along side the Lake Panache Campers Association to ensure proper access and mapping so all our fellow campers will have it if they ever need it.
