WHY AED AWARENESS MATTERS
While most bystanders are willing to use an AED, less than a quarter know how to use one or where one is located. A victim’s survival rate drops by 10% every minute without immediate CPR and /or defibrillation.
Make yourself familiar with AEDs in your community, your work place, and at community events because if you are called on to give CPR or use an AED it will most likely be trying to save the life of someone you know or love.
