Imagine you're at work, church, a sporting event, or even at home when someone suddenly collapses. They are unresponsive and not breathing normally. Would you know what to do?

The answer could mean the difference between life and death.

Early AED Use Significantly Improves Survival

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) affects hundreds of thousands of Americans each year. Unlike a heart attack, cardiac arrest is caused by an electrical problem in the heart that causes it to stop beating effectively.

Without treatment, survival decreases rapidly with every passing minute.

When high-quality CPR is started immediately and an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is applied within the first few minutes, the chances of survival increase dramatically. Early defibrillation is one of the most important links in the American Heart Association's Chain of Survival.

Modern AEDs are designed to be used safely by everyday people. They provide step-by-step voice instructions and will only deliver a shock if the patient's heart rhythm requires it.

Anyone Can Learn to Save a Life

Many people hesitate because they worry they'll do something wrong.

The truth is:

• AEDs will not shock someone unless it is medically appropriate.

• Voice prompts guide rescuers through every step.

• CPR and AED skills can be learned in just a few hours.

• Immediate action by a bystander can save a life before EMS arrives.
