AEDs
Put the Power of Saving Lives in Your Hands
When Seconds Count, You Can Save a Life — Sudden cardiac arrest
(SCA) claims
the lives of 220,000 people in this country every year. It can
happen anytime,
anywhere. And when SCA strikes, seconds mean the difference
between life and
death. With each minute of elapsed time, the survival rate
diminishes by 10 percent.
Thanks to a portable device called an automated external
defibrillator (AED) and
training in how to use it available through the American Red
Cross, ordinary people
can save lives. By delivering an electric shock to the heart, an
AED can restore
a heart's normal rhythm. Immediate use of an AED, in conjunction
with CPR, could
save up to 50,000 lives a year. The American Red Cross strongly
advocates
increased public AED access and training. As a result, more and
more public facilities are placing AEDs onsite wherever large
groups of people congregate, including airports, shopping malls,
office buildings and stadiums.

risks, these one-hour

Ergonomics; Slips, Trips and Falls; Back Injury
Prevention; Workplace Violence Awareness; Managing
Stress;
and Your Heart Matters.
Preventing
Disease Transmission (2 hours)
