AED and Hands-Only CPR Training

Did you know Immanuel has an A.E.D. (automated external defibrillator) in the Astor Street coatroom? An AED is a computerized medical device that checks a person’s heart rhythm (in the event of a heart attack) and recognizes a rhythm that requires a shock. The device uses voice prompts, lights, and text messages to tell the rescuer the steps to take. The AED is very easy to operate, but medical professionals recommend regular training opportunities for potential users. AED use in conjunction with Hands-Only CPR provide a vital link in the "chain of survival." Join the deacons and Immanuel member and lieutenant in the New Berlin Fire Department, Joe Dominguez, for a basic AED overview and training on Sunday, July 26 following worship in the Peaceable Kingdom downstairs.
