Why CPR and AED

There are several training options to choose from or even combine...

• Every day in the United States approximately 900 people die from sudden cardiac arrest.
• Without CPR and/or AED the survival rate drops 10% for each minute that passes.
• It is estimated that 50,000 deaths a year could have been prevented if someone had initiated the Cardiac Chain of Survival and an AED had been available for immediate use at the time of the emergency.

That is why the Red Cross takes a leadership role in promoting sudden cardiac arrest awareness and facilitating the purchase of and training on Automated External Defribillators (AED)
