When seconds count,
You can save a life.
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) occurs every one to two minutes. It can happen anytime, anywhere, and to anyone. It claims the lives of 400,000-450,000 people in this country every year. 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 an easy-to-use, portable device called an automated external defibrillator (AED) and training from your American Red Cross, ordinary people can be lifesavers. 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, can save a life.
The Red Cross has already done the research.
The American Red Cross knows how to save lives. We have been a leader in the health and safety industry for more than 90 years. Now, Red Cross has approved three AED manufacturers and their products as a part of our life-saving family. The Zoll, Philips and Medtronic companies were selected for the life-saving technology of their AEDs and their corporate financial strength.
Let us be your AED consultant.
Why deal with multiple sales people or an unknown Internet store? The Genesee-Lapeer Chapter of the Red Cross can be your one contact for implementing your AED program.
