Over the last month, two of our clients experienced sudden cardiac emergencies in their workplace and in both situations, AEDs helped save lives. Both of these clients had an AED, AED program management and a respose plan in place.
Just yesterday, a woman suffered a cardiac event. Thanks to a fast response, an AED was applied immediately. She received three shocks, regained a pulse before leaving in the ambulance, and later underwent surgery where doctors placed three stents. Because of the quick action and rapid defibrillation, she now gets to spend Christmas with her family. ❤️
This is why AEDs matter. Cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, at any time, and every second counts. Having an AED on site, and knowing how to use it, truly makes the difference between life and tragedy.
If your workplace, organization, or facility doesn’t have an AED or hasn’t trained staff recently, now is the time. These devices save lives… and we’ve seen it firsthand.
Kansas City First AId can help make your workplace safer by helping you purchase or lease an AED, setting up a AED program and providing the life saving training you need.
