From the American HEART Association: “Only an estimated 8% of victims who suffer a SCA outside of a hospital setting survive.”

What is your point?
True, but common areas at an old people’s home ought to have a defibrillator. Witnessed collapse, immediate defibrillation and CPR could bring that 8% up. Although an 87 y.o.’s chances of making it out of the hospital after such an event are very poor.
