3 Common Incidents
Bleeding
Severe bleeding decreases the blood volume and has to be addressed immediately.
What to do?
- Apply pressure to the wound with a gloved hand.
- Bandage the wound over a sterile dressing.
- If the bleeding persists, apply a tourniquet.
- Call 911.
Cardiac Arrest
Surviving sudden cardiac arrest is nearly impossible unless someone performs CPR or uses an AED combined with CPR.
What to do?
- Call 911 as soon as possible.
- Use an AED immediately and alternate it with 2-minute rounds of CPR.
- If an AED is not available. Perform CPR at a 100 compressions per minute rate.
Choking
In most cases, choking leads to a coughing fit, but if there’s no one around to help and the airway is completely blocked, it can lead to death.
What to do?
- If someone is choking, try to dislodge the object by combining any two of the following
three options: back blows, abdominal thrusts, and chest thrusts. - Always stand behind the person and deliver up to 5 firm back blows, abdominal thrusts or chest thrusts.

Why You Should Invest in an AED
An automated external defibrillator is an easy-to-use medical device that can help you analyze someone’s heart rhythm. It notifies you if you must deliver an electrical shock to help restore the heartbeat.
All emergency rescuers and police carry AEDs to use in emergencies. They are always available in most public places, including malls, sports arenas, gyms, and even on airplanes.
Cardiac arrests can also take place within office settings. Keep your employees safe; get an AED for your office!
