AED MACHINES SAVE LIVES

An Automated External Defibrillator is a machine that is easy to use - even for a 6th grader with no training. This Machine helps to restart a normal heart rhythm when it goes into a SCA –– Sudden Cardiac Arrest. The AED machines are portable, small and most are less than 10 lbs. These machines are highly recommended to be placed in every building and accessible to rescuers in case someone has an emergency and looses a normal heart rhythm.

A rescuer can grab the AED unit from a storage case and respond to the emergency. If two rescuers are on site, one would ideally be performing a check of the victim and possibly performing CPR while the other rescuer is getting the AED and calling for help. When the AED gets to the victim, it is turned on and the rescuers can then follow the easy step by step directions to help the victim. If the machine detects a shockable heart rhythm it will then instruct the rescuers to stand clear and push the shock button.

This amazing technology is available to purchase for your home, office, church, local community center and even for companies and manufacturing plants. The machines are affordable for even home use. Ask yourself, what the life of a co–worker is worth to you in dollars. How about the life of a friend? Now, what is the life of your spouse worth? My guess is that a life is worth way more than the cost of an AED machine.

Some AED machines start as low as $1599.00 each. Now ask yourself what the cost would be of a neglect lawsuit, a reverse liability lawsuit or even the initial lawyer consultation.

AED machines are available for demonstrations at your local Red Cross office by calling Angie Gresley at 269.962.7528 ext 222 or e-mailing angie_gresley@yahoo.com.

If you are thinking about purchasing an AED unit, please take the time to contact Red Cross and work with a local representative.

The American Red Cross offers premier First Aid, CPR and AED training that participants can take at Red Cross or on site. Your local Red Cross receives a non–tax deductible contribution from the AED manufacture for each AED that we help place in the community. This contribution is greatly needed in our local community and will stay local to help promote safety awareness and emergency response right here at home.

Your local Red Cross is here when you need them and will continue to be there when the next emergency happens. Support your Red Cross so that we can support those in need.
