For 50 years, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) involving mouth- to-mouth breathing and chest compressions has been the gold standard for keeping people alive after a sudden cardiac arrest. Dr. Michael Sayre, associate professor of Emergency Medicine at The Ohio State University Medical Center, has co-authored new 2010 CPR guidelines, based on findings that victims often didn't get enough chest compressions.
Many automated external defbrillator (AED) programs are funded through local agency or community budgets. The police chief, mayor or town council may simply decide to include AED program implementation costs in the budget because the need to improve early defbrillation capabilities is recognized as a top priority.
However, in some communities it is necessary to pursue additional funding sources.
Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) can have a dramatic, lifesaving impact in organizations and communities. In many places, AEDs have saved lives within weeks, or even days, of being put into service. Once people recognize the difference AEDs can make, and that the life they may one day save could be that of a family member, coworker or friend, support and enthusiasm for your fundraising program will likely take off. You can easily turn the enthusiasm into financial support if needed. Private donations can supplement or seed municipal or state budgets to get the program started.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest can happen anywhere, anytime, to anybody, without warning! But with minimal expense, you can drastically increase the odds of saving the life of someone who suffers a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) on your premises, or in your community. According to the American Heat Association, the annual number of deaths in the United States resulting from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) outside a hospital is 330,000.
