American Red Cross Knows How to Save Lives
When seconds count, do you have the equipment and training to save a life?
Thanks to any easy-to-use, portable device called an automated external defibrillator (AED) and training from your American Red Cross, ordinary people can be lifesavers.

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable device used to administer an electric shock to the heart and restore the heart's normal rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest. Ventricular Fibrillation (VF), the abnormal heart rhythm that most often leads to sudden cardiac arrest, is treatable. If the heart can be shocked quickly with an AED, a normal heart rhythm may be restored.

AEDs provide cost savings to the workplace

A sudden cardiac arrest fatality in the workplace can cost up to $1.3 million in wages, productivity loss, medical expenses, administrative expenses and most of all a personal loss.  Many times these fatalities can be avoided with quick response from trained employees and the use of an AED.


We’ve done the research
