Captain Ammann & FF/Paramedic Henson teach Fayetteville Recreation Program Camp Counselors CPR & AED Awareness
National CPR & AED Awareness Week
National CPR & AED Awareness Week highlights the lifesaving importance of knowing how to respond during a cardiac emergency. Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, and immediate action by bystanders can significantly improve survival rates. Training in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) gives individuals the confidence and skills needed to recognize an emergency, call for help, provide effective chest compressions, and deliver a potentially lifesaving shock when needed. By increasing awareness and encouraging training, communities become better prepared to save lives before emergency responders arrive. Every minute counts, and CPR and AED training can make the difference between life and death
