The Damar Hamlin incident shows how important early AED (and CPR) usage is

In incidents of sudden cardiac arrest, the victim is often experiencing a fatal failure of their cardiac system, but has a good chance of survival if treated quickly. AED usage in the early moments of these episodes has saved tens of 1,000s of lives.
Take a class, learn how to use them, know where they are in your typical daily life. Encourage those around you to do the same. They could save your life, or you theirs.
Get hands on AED training, be confident in their usage, and empower yourself to act in a life saving situation.

Pulse, compressions and make sure AED is on way. Most important thing outside of an AED (and obviously having EMS coming) is knowing how to give high quality compressions.

I can remember that our class was taught CPR when I was in the 4th grade (early 90s)
I think it was something that was taught at the school in
science/health class for the 4th grade every year but can't be sure.
I don't know if schools do that these days

I take CPR/AED classes every now and the AED talks to you to tell you exactly what to do. Pretty cool.

I have to have CPR and BLS for my job. If in doubt, 30 compressions and two rescue breaths. Breath should not be overly forceful, just enough to see the chest rise. Pinch the nose, and tilt chin up, good seal around the mouth. Compressions to the tempo of ‘stayin alive’ or ‘another one bites the dust’. About 100/ minute. If any doubts about the breathing, just keep doing compressions and check for pulse periodically. It’s amazingly effective if done properly and early.

When I was a teaching pro in Atlanta during the mid 90s, our club invested in an AED. The head golf professional insisted on it because our membership skewed on the older side. Atlanta folks will know this name- Ken Nugent. His dad George was one of our members.
Anyway, about a year after I left, the pro saved two members lives with that AED. Paid for itself many times over.

I remember a kid who was committed to Texas in 2006 had a cardiac arrest on the High School sideline. Thankfully for his sake he went to Westlake, a wealthy white school and they had an AED relatively close by if I recall correctly. His parents (doctors) performed CPR before the AED and it saved his life. Pretty dang remarkable story.

After my sudden cardiac arrest, employees of the ballroom I was at would not use the AED, nor allow anyone else. Luckily a coworker immediately started to perform CPR which kept me hanging on enough until EMS arrived. A matter of seconds going untreated can be the result of life and death

I’ve participated in giving life saving care to someone in cardiac arrest. Gave cpr for several mins before the AED arrived. I don’t think he’d be alive today if it weren’t for that AED.

Praying for loved ones who are sick or injured works a hell of a lot better in conjunction with modern medicine than it did centuries ago.
If your arse was on the line, would you rather have prayer and a medieval doctor or no prayer and a modern doctor?
Gee, I frickin’ wonder.

This does make me wonder, for your average high school, how many coaches know CPR. For a game, it's usually fine, most counties will make sure there's tlest a sports physician at every game. But practice is different.
I'm just thinking back to when I was in high school, at our practices ws nobody but the coaches and the water girls. If something like that was to happen to us would we have stood a chance, especially knowing an ambulance would take 10 minutes maybe more.
I may be overthinking things over something that has a low likelihood of happening. But I would say sports couches should definitely be getting certified in these things if not already.

In Ohio, each coach is required to take CPR with AED either every year or every other year (I can't remember).
At the school I coach at, there are at least 7 AEDs throughout the complex and every student is told where they are at the beginning of the season. There's also a requirement that every student be trained on AEDs(along with CPR) as well, regardless if playing sports or not.
