WHY EVERY BUSINESS NEEDS AN AED

Why Every Business Needs an AED
Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any time. People of all ages — from infants to teens to older adults — can experience sudden cardiac arrest without warning. This means a cardiac arrest emergency could happen to you or someone nearby while you’re at work, at the gym, at a restaurant or anywhere people gather.

Therefore, it’s crucial that all businesses and public spaces be prepared with an on-site AED.

AEDS IMPROVE OUTCOMES
Without using an AED, most cardiac arrest victims will not survive. Previous studies and data analysis show:

People are more likely to survive a cardiac arrest if a bystander uses a defibrillator while waiting for emergency medical services to arrive.

1,700 additional lives were saved each year (2011-2015) in the U.S. from bystander use of defibrillators.

Every minute counts during sudden cardiac arrest. For every minute that defibrillation is delayed, the chances of survival decrease by 10%. After 10 minutes, survival in adults in unlikely.


AEDS ARE EASY-TO-USE AND AFFORDABLE
Trained and untrained bystanders can provide lifesaving measures during a sudden cardiac arrest emergency. AEDs are designed to be easy-to-use by anyone who can follow visual and voice prompts.

This means employees, customers and other bystanders can quickly jump into action and provide a lifesaving shock, even if they’ve never encountered an AED before.

There are a variety of AEDs on the market to fit your business’ needs and budget. Although there are many features to consider, the truth is the best AED is the closest one.

So, bottom line: Provide an AED, save a life.

This will help reduce the fogging up of glasses from wearing masks. I have also heard that using shaving cream in the same manner will also do the job.

When is the last time you checked the expiration date on a plastic water bottle? Although water itself cannot expire, the plastic the water is packaged in does. According to reports, “the plastic will leach into the liquid once expired, especially when exposed to heat…the toxicity contained in the plastic material enters the water”. There is no precise way to predict when the bottled water will expire, but companies print standard two-year expiration date.

Excellent advice! A must read for everyone!

Mention drowning and we all tend to envision a person in the water waving his hands, splashing and screaming for help. That’s not even remotely close to what a drowning person looks like, writes Mario Vittone in this week’s Lifelines: Safety And Rescue At Sea blog.

This made me chuckle!

The public health gurus are using weddings as teachable moments for disaster preparedness. Plan ahead, prepare an emergency kit, and stay informed, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises. But that's just the beginning.
