Each year, June 1–7 is recognized as National CPR and AED Awareness Week, highlighting the importance of learning CPR and how to use an AED to help save lives.

❗About 70 percent of cardiac arrests outside hospitals happen at home. If you have to administer CPR, it will likely be to someone you love, like a parent, spouse, or child.

🫀Immediate CPR can significantly increase the chance of survival. Everyone, everywhere can be prepared and empowered to become a vital link in the chain of survival and provide CPR. No matter where your summer plans take you, make sure you’re prepared and confident to save a life if necessary.

Hands-Only CPR is as effective in the first few minutes as conventional CPR for cardiac arrest at home, at work or in public. It has just two steps, performed in this order:

📱Call 911 immediately.
👐🏽Push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of a song that has 100 to 120 beats per minute.
⚡AEDs are portable devices that analyze the heart's rhythm and deliver an electrical shock to restore a normal heartbeat for someone in sudden cardiac arrest. Combined with CPR, it can greatly increase a person’s chances of survival following a cardiac event.
AEDs are located in many buildings throughout communities, providing vital access in the event one is needed. Once turned on, an AED device delivers audible instructions on how to apply and administer.
