Its National CPR/AED awareness Week!

If you see someone collapse and stop breathing- call 9-1-1 (direct someone to get an AED if close-by) and start Pushing on their chest Hard and Fast!

Hands-only CPR is easy to do and can save a life! But it's important that you recognize the signs of Sudden Cardiac Arrest early and begin CPR quickly!

Immediate CPR can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival. Be a hero in your community by learning the two simple steps of Hands-Only CPR.

If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest.

On or off the field, we are all part of the same team when it comes to performing CPR and using an AED. We salute these heroes for stepping up in the time of need.

On March 19, 25-year-old Nils Gulbranson was playing in his weekly men’s league soccer game when he suddenly went into cardiac arrest.

It is CPR and AED awareness week- so we thought we'd share some shocking statistics with you!!

Only about 50% of people are able to locate an AED in their workplace!!
If you needed an AED where you work, worship, learn, exercise, shop or play- how quickly could you find one??

For every minute that goes by, the chances of an AED working successfully drop by 10%

Every year in the US, more than 350,000 people suffer an out of hospital Cardiac Arrest and only 9.1% survive to hospital discharge!

Early By-stander CPR (can be hands-only) and use of an AED Doubles or Triples the chances of surviving Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

What are you doing this week to learn more about CPR and AEDs?!?!
