Governor Jon Husted, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) today released its Model Emergency Action Plan for the Use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). The plan will be used by Ohio schools and municipal sports and recreation locations to ensure staff are trained and ready to respond in the event that a student, young athlete, or any other individual experiences a cardiac emergency. “Every second counts when someone suffers a sudden cardiac arrest. It’s the number one killer of student-athletes in America,” said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. “But we also know that the vast majority who get immediate help from an AED survive. Earlier this year, I was proud to sign a bill to expand access to these life-saving devices in schools and sports venues across Ohio. The creation of this model emergency action plan is the next step in safeguarding our children.

It's National CPR and AED Awareness Month, and doctors say that learning the basics could mean the difference between life and death. Our Ellie Janzen has the story. If you come across a person who is not breathing or does not have a pulse, would you know what to do? The American Red Cross says immediate CPR can double or triple the chances of survival after a cardiac arrest. Before you start, call 9-1-1 to get EMS, then start with chest compression, 100 to 120 times a minute. The best way to remember that is with the rhythm of the song "Staying Alive." Mouth-to-mouth is not recommended anymore, but the sooner you act, the better.
