The SauvLife application is free and makes it possible to geolocate volunteers capable of performing first aid measures in the event of cardiac arrest on public roads, as well as automatic defibrillators nearby. Tested on February 23 on the Lille University Hospital campus, it will be launched on March 13, 2018.
Recently, SAMU 59 took part in preview in a simulation test of the application SavLife. This free application will be operational in Paris, Lyon and Lille, with the aim of saving lives. It makes it possible to geolocate volunteers capable of performing first aid measures in the event of cardiac arrest on public roads, as well as automatic defibrillators nearby.
Improve the chances of survival
In Hauts-de-France, organized help arrives on site on average 9 minutes after a call to 15. However, in the event of cardiac arrest, each lost minute represents a 10% less chance of survival. Without the action of a citizen who would practice cardiac massage and defibrillation while waiting for help, the chances of survival are low (less than 5%).
Launch on March 13
From that date, when a call is made to 15 for cardiac arrest, the SauvLife application will be triggered simultaneously with the dispatch of the SAMU medical team and the firefighters. Thus, the first minutes after the victim’s collapse will be optimized while waiting for the arrival of organized help.
