❤️ October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month.
Sudden cardiac arrest can happen anytime, anywhere, and to anyone. When it happens, the actions taken in the first few minutes can make all the difference.
More than 350,000 adults experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest each year in the United States, and about 90% do not survive. But immediate CPR can double or even triple a person's chance of survival.
That’s why knowing what to do matters.
☎️ CALL 911
👐 PUSH hard and fast in the center of the chest
⚡ SHOCK with an AED as soon as one is available
You don't have to be a healthcare professional to make a difference. You can be a coworker, coach, teacher, neighbor, friend, or family member who was simply prepared when someone needed you most.
At Piedmont Life Safety Solutions, our mission is to help build safer, better-prepared workplaces and communities through CPR, AED, First Aid, and lifesaving education.
Throughout October, we'll be sharing information about cardiac arrest, CPR, AEDs, and the simple steps all of us can take to be more prepared.
Learn the skills. Know where the AED is. Be ready to act.
❤️ Every second counts.
