AED and Narcan Informational Program

Join us for this informational program regarding the use of AED and NARCAN. 

AEDs are important because they strengthen the Chain of Survival. They can restore a normal heart rhythm in victims of sudden cardiac arrest. Portable AEDs enable more people to respond to a medical emergency that requires defibrillation. When a person suffers a sudden cardiac arrest, their chance of survival decreases by 7% to 10% for each minute that passes without defibrillation. AEDs save lives.

NARCAN® Nasal Spray is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of a known or suspected opioid overdose emergency with signs of breathing problems and severe sleepiness or not being able to respond. NARCAN saves lives.

Presented by Jason Race, Proactive Safety, and John Pelow, Glastonbury EMS, attendees will learn how to use an AED and administer Narcan. (Please note, this is not a "hands on" session, but rather informational regarding proper use.)
