Sudden Cardiac Arrest can affect kids and teens โ especially during sports โ and it happens without warning.
๐ Why preparation matters:
Outside of a hospital, survival is only about 10%. But in Georgia schools trained through Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Cardiology's Project S.A.V.E., where AEDs and CPR training are in place, survival jumps to 80%.
๐ซ Project S.A.V.E. brings CPR and AED training to schools, athletic leagues, and community centers โ helping save childrenโs lives.
๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง Parents can help by:
โ Learn CPR and know where AEDs are at school and sports venues.
โ Support Project S.A.V.E. in your community.
โ Keep your child current on their well check โ many heart conditions can be detected early during routine physicals and sports clearances.
Healthy hearts + prepared communities = lives saved.
