❤️ World Restart a Heart Day is October 16th!
To celebrate, MSERT is hosting a fun and interactive activity to raise awareness about CPR and AEDs (automated external defibrillators)~
🫀What exactly is an AED? An AED is a life-saving medical device that analyzes a person’s heart rhythm and, when needed, delivers an electrical shock to help restore an effective rhythm. Even better, anyone can use an AED! These devices provide clear, step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process.
🤔 Did you know that for every minute defibrillation is delayed, the chances of survival can decrease by ~10%? That’s why knowing where to find an AED can make a real difference in an emergency!
🔎 MSERT is challenging you to explore your surroundings and locate AEDs in your community. Not only are you entered in a raffle to win a prize, but it’s also an opportunity to familiarize yourself with where these life-saving devices are located before you ever need one.
Happy scavenging, and happy Reading Week! 💕
