A way to make yourself safer in less than an hour!

Eighty-five percent of Sudden Cardiac Arrests occur in the home. Fewer than half are witnessed. For the arrests that are witnessed, the witness is usually about the same age as the victim and off a different gender. The best chance of getting discharged from the hospital with major brain functions intact is immediate CPR and prompt defibrillation.

The way to make yourself safer is to make sure that the person(s) you live with watch the videos at www.slicc.org/ClassVideo/

If he or she is of the thinking type, he or she will figure out that they, too, will be safer if YOU watch the videos, as well.

...and while you're at it, think about the folks you see frequently, too.

And if you want to make the defibrillation happen faster - and that really, really helps - go to www.slicc.org and click on AED Deal in the left column.

A lot of survival depends upon what the other person does!
