Orange formation has reported that "each year occur in Spain more than thirty thousand cardiac arrest, equivalent to an average heart every twenty minutes stop. The deaths that occur as a result of cardiac arrests are four times more than those that they have to do with traffic accidents, which serves as an example to dramatize the problem of this issue. "

According to the Spanish Resuscitation Council (CERCP), "sudden death is a health problem of the first magnitude, and represents 15% of all deaths."

In Spain we have a statistic too accurate, but it is estimated that approximately 40,000 to 60,000 Spaniards die suddenly each year.

Without quick action most patients die within minutes, so the speed of health care is essential. "

The spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padin, says plenty of reasons to bring this motion to the City Council, "we know that the Ministry of Health is recommending the installation of defibrillators in public places with this goal: to fight against sudden death, and it is also shown that the use of one-time can mean the difference between life and death, or at least minimize the consequences of a brain injury.
