Last chance to sign up for FREE CPR/AED training this Fri., March 4

Would you know what to do in a cardiac or breathing emergency? The right answer could help you save a life. With a mixture of classroom and hands-on learning, Shoreline Fire Department Medics will be providing a 2-hour course to give you the skills to potentially save a life on Fri., March 4, 2016 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. in Rm 3002.

Consider these facts:

    • There are 220,000 victims of sudden cardiac arrest per year in the United States; about 10,000 sudden cardiac arrests occur at work
    • Waiting for the arrival of emergency medical system personnel results in only 5-7% survival.
    • Paramedics can take eight to 12 minutes to arrive, but someone suffering sudden cardiac arrest needs help immediately
    • 75% of all out-of-hospital heart attacks happen at home

AEDs in the workplace save lives. An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a medical device designed to analyze the heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock to victims of ventricular fibrillation to restore the heart rhythm to normal. A bystander with access to an AED can greatly improve the chance of survival. The college has recently purchased 8 new AED machines, for a total of 12. Learn where they are on campus and how to use them.

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 2016 – 9:30am-11:30am, Rm 3002
The course, free to SCC employees, will include a certification card. The training is voluntary, requiring supervisory permission to attend. Classroom size is limited, and your pre-registration is required. Wear comfortable clothing. If a class is full, you will be placed on a wait list for a cancellation or coming class.
