Defibs are relatively inexpensive and drastically increase chances of survival in cardiac arrest casualties, particularly if they are used almost immediately. I am surprised more airlines don't carry them as standard kit given that paramedic help is likely to be at least 20 mins away if you're in the air. Today's 'first aid' defibs don't require a medical degree to operate, they can talk you through the procedure and will only shock a shockable rhythm. Don't forget that CPR on a cardiac arrest is just buying time....
