Aurora, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/18/2008 -- Life Saving Solutions, Inc. and American Medical Response partner to bring life saving devices and training to the Nunn Police Department. Life Saving Solutions donated Philips HeartStart FRx AEDs and AED Program Management to the police department. The AEDs will be utilized in the patrol cars, potentially responding to medical emergencies. American Medical Response donated CPR/AED Training to the police department via Operations Supervisor Merlin Durhman.

Without the use of an AED, the survival rate of Sudden Cardiac Arrest is nationally reported to be 5% or less. Use of an AED has shown a survival rate improvement up to 75%. The victim’s chance of survival decreases by 7% to 10% with every minute that passes without an electrical shock. The ability for the Nunn Police department to arrive on a scene where an AED is needed could greatly determine whether a victim survives or dies.

Merlin Durhman, Operations Supervisor with AMR said “It’s an honor to work with Life Saving Solutions & Nunn Police Department by bringing the latest in life saving technology to the citizens & visitors of rural Northern Colorado.”

Jeff Zeiler, CEO of Life Saving Solutions stated, “This is a unique opportunity for our company to reach out and help protect a community that really needed help. Every time we place an AED, whether it is through a sale or donation, we are able to do something meaningful. In this case, we donated AEDs and our services to the police department.”

Chief Joe Clingan witnessed the value of having an AED first hand. Chief Clingan was at a K-9 training event when an officer went down and was revived by an AED. Chief Clingan said “Witnessing the successful use of an AED is really inspiring. I saw an officer’s life saved and know had there not been an AED, he would probably not be here today. To now have this capability in our patrol cars is invaluable to our community.”
