REDMOND , WA , Nov.15, 2000 - President Clinton signed into law the nation's first legislation recognizing the lifesaving role played by automated external defibrillators (AEDs). The new measure requires federal action that is expected to accelerate the widespread use of AEDs in the battle against sudden cardiac arrest, one of the nation's leading killers. Cardiac arrest is a major U.S. health problem and causes about 225,000 sudden deaths each year among U.S. adults.

The new law, called the Cardiac Arrest Survival Act, highlights the need for making AEDs, easy-to-use, portable lifesaving devices, the "standard of care" for emergency cardiac situations in public gathering places such as airports, shopping malls, stadiums, convention centers, schools and office buildings.

The new legislation requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop recommendations and guidelines for AED placement and use in federal buildings and augments existing state "Good Samaritan" laws by ensuring federal liability protection for users and purchasers of AEDs. The measure also establishes a new three-year, $25 million program to improve access to emergency defibrillation in rural areas. (Full Story)
