The Power
To Save A Life…
At Your Fingertips

If someone suffers cardiac arrest, their best chance for survival is CPR and defibrillation within four minutes or less.

With an easy to use device called an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and a little training, ordinary people can be extraordinary lifesavers. For about the size and price of a laptop computer, the power to save a life can be at your fingertips.

Don’t wait until you need an AED

When Seconds Count, You Could Save a Life.

AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATION (AED)

Responding to Sudden Cardiac Arrest Responding to Sudden Cardiac Arrest Updated with the latest Science for First Aid, CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Flexible Delivery Superior Quality

Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in the United States, claiming more than 200,000 lives each year. When SCA strikes, seconds mean the difference between life and death. With each minute of elapsed time before defibrillation, the survival rate of the victim diminishes by approximately 10 percent. 

Now, with the latest generation of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and training from your American Red Cross, employees will be prepared to increase the odds of survival if SCA strikes a co-worker, customer or anyone else visiting your facility. 

Create a Complete AED Program
Your American Red Cross can assist you in every phase of creating an AED program, including:

• Training your employees in CPR, first aid and AED skills
• Facilitating the purchase of AEDs
• Providing information on developing or upgrading emergency procedures
