Can Children Act In An Emergency?

We often think children are unable to handle tough situations...but is that really accurate? Often times, children are much smarter, observant and stronger than adults give them credit for. In fact, time and again, children have proven how strong they can be when faced with difficult circumstances. So why not teach our children to do basic first aid and CPR?   If nothing else, it  gives the child the confidence to handle and emergency situation and be able to act upon it, rather than panic in the face of it....but It could give them the skill to bandage a little siblings cut, or teach them to call 911, or be able to help someone who is choking or maybe as is the case in the attached article, give them the ability to help save a life.

100 AEDs to be given away to worthy causes

In 2012, AED.com will be giving away 100 AEDs to worthy causes and organizations. Why? To raise awareness of the need for AEDs (automated external defibrillators) anywhere and everywhere sudden cardiac arrest can potentially strike. Unfortunately, that indeed means everywhere: home, work, on the road, public events, etc. If you happen to find yourself in a hospital or fire house, you can rest assured that someone will be there with the appropriate equipment to help you. Anywhere else and it’s a roll of the dice. After five minutes without treatment from an AED, a victim's chances of survival and recovery are dramatically reduced. At the ten-minute mark, hope is lost.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest, which strikes 1,000 people every day, doesn’t have to be fatal. However, to have that death sentence lifted, an AED must be used to restore the natural rhythm of the heart. AED.com will be giving away AEDs from all six manufacturers: Zoll Medical, Philips Healthcare, Physio-Control, Cardiac Science, Heartsine and Defibtech. We will determine which donated AED makes the most sense based on the organization’s wants and needs.

Please tell us why you or your organization needs and deserves a FREE AED from AED.com by visiting our blog. We will be giving away several AEDs every month and letting everyone know who received the AED and which one it was. AED.com hopes that these devices will help communities begin the discussion regarding how to improve the safety of their homes and places of work.

CPR Required to Graduate High School?

American Heart Association is leading the effort to make it a requirement to be certified in CPR before being able to graduate high school. Across the country there has been resistance to this idea, for various reasons. But the simple truth is that teaching students this can take just one class meeting, is very low cost and can create such a huge impact in society. 

In high school, we teach our children important life skills such as driving cars, balancing a checkbook, do arithmetic, read and write...why should we not teach them the simple task of saving a life?

 It is our experience with our students at Everyday Heroes Training Center that after taking a CPR or First Aid course our students feel better able to handle an emergency situation. Students have also told us that they feel more empowered during moments of an emergency. And they have more of a willingness to jump in and help.

So let's get our high school students certified in CPR and let's teach them how to handle emergency situations, how to help others in need, give them the confidence to help rather than walk away, and the power to save a life...is there really anything more empowering than that?

So follow the link to the American Heart Association's page and sign your name in support to get legislation passed to get all high school students certified in CPR. The life that student saves could quite possibly be yours or someone you love.
