When Seconds Count,
You Could Save A Life.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest Can Happen Anytime, Anywhere, To Anyone.
Early Defibrillation Is The Key To Survival.

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in the United States , claiming approximately 220,000 lives each year. When SCA strikes, seconds mean the difference between life and death. With each minute of elapsed time before defibrillation, the survival rate of the victim diminishes by approximately 10 percent.

Now, with the latest generation of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and training from your American Red Cross, employees will be prepared to increase the odds of survival if SCA strikes a co-worker.

Your American Red Cross can assist you in every phase of creating an AED program, including:

• Training your employees in CPR, first aid and AED skills
• Facilitating the purchase of AEDs
• Securing medical support
• Providing information on developing or upgrading emergency procedures
• Reviewing your AED training.

While you can’t predict when an emergency will occur, you can be prepared. In less time than you think, American Red Cross training can give you the vital knowledge and skills you’ll need to respond to a life-threatening situation with confidence.
Red Cross training will teach you to:

• Care for conscious and unconscious choking victims
• Perform CPR
• Give first aid
• Treat sudden illnesses
• Use an au tom ated external defibrillator (AED) on a victim of sudden cardiac arrest
