Defibrillators For Rugby Sporting Industry

It has been reported that the risk of sudden cardiac arrest may be increased by 2.8 times in competitive athletes compared with non-athletes (World Rugby, 2023). Around 2300 people have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation in Rugby (BHF, 2023) whose triggers tend to take place during training or matches. Cardiac screening is highly recommended for players between the ages of 14 and 35 who regularly participate in Rugby competitions or tournaments

Cardiac arrest can take place during any intense physical activity, with the main assessment indicator of a sudden cardiac arrest being without a pulse, not breathing or being unresponsive (NIH, 2023). Ensuring a defibrillator is present at every sporting event is vital to doubling the chances of survival (BHF, 2023) with the current rates being less than one in ten.
