CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, can help save a life when the heart stops beating or beats too ineffectively to circulate blood to the brain and other vital organs, also known as cardiac arrest. When CPR is performed by bystanders before emergency care arrives, it can double or triple the chance of survival. This is such an important topic to learn about because the sooner a person suffering from cardiac arrest has CPR started, the better the outcome. Remember in an emergency minutes matter.

An AED, or automated external defibrillator, is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It's a medical device that can analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm. This crucial step in the survival chain can help save a life.
The primary benefit of AEDs is their potential to save lives by quickly delivering a controlled electric shock to the heart, restoring a normal heart rhythm, and increasing the likelihood of survival for someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.
An AED is as simple as pressing the ON button and listening to the prompts. Always remember to remain calm and to follow the AED's instructions carefully. Training in AED use significantly enhances confidence and effectiveness in managing cardiac emergencies. Are you ready?
