Can Stress Cause a Heart Attack?

!±8± Can Stress Cause a Heart Attack?

Just a few short weeks ago, I learned that there is a 'quiet' syndrome that can kill you without warning or notice. The major cause of these heart attacks are stress. They are usually set off by a stressful event.

It is called Broken Heart Syndrome. It effect primarily women over 50 (9 out of 10 cases occur in women over 50).

Are you at risk? I did not know I was. According to John Hopkins Medicine and Mayo Clinic, here is a quick list of some of the major symptoms of broken heart syndrome:

- Palpitations
- Swelling of feet, ankles, hands
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Dizziness or fainting
- Chest Pain
- Stroke or painful and cold limbs (due to blood clot)
- Wheezing or a dry cough, coughing up bloody phlegm

I did not have any of these! Not a one. I just collapsed and my heart and breathing stopped....after a really stressful event.

If you have any of these symptoms, get checked right away.

Some of the causes of broken heart syndrome (again, I really did not have any of these, except my potassium was a little low following the heart failure), according to Mayo and John Hopkins are:

- Excess alcohol consumption
- Smoking
- Viral infections of the heart
- Inherited diseases
- Obesity
- Advanced coronary artery disease
- Nutritional deficiencies (such as vitamin B3 or potassium)
- Cardiomyopathy

I didn't really have any of these either. I have never smoked, I drink about 5 or 6 drinks a year, I am about 15 pounds overweight (but I had started to work on that about a month ago by eating right, exercising daily, etc.)

Do you have any of these risk factors? If so, see your doctor.

Now, about the stress factor. Here, I thought I was just 'living my life', but to most people, I was probably a bit 'off the charts' for stress. I often felt and commented that it seemed I was 'running through my life'.

Before this 'episode' (this is what I like to call it)-

I was running three real estate businesses, an Italian Food Manufacturing Business, and several internet marketing businesses. I was looking into moving and expanding the Italian Food Business.

I was in the process of suing the City for the liquor license (for a commercial building we own with a really nasty neighbor)

I am a wife and mother of two teenagers

I was in the process of preparing the taxes for all our businesses & government reports for FDA/USDA

So, I guess I am a bit of a work-a-holic.

Are you? Are you at risk? If so, don't wait. Start right now to re-prioritize your life.

What do you love to do? What do you not like to do? What do you have to do? What do you want to do?

I was immediately forced to make these decisions and choices. Very glad I am still here to be able to make the choices. Some wonderful things have come out of this whole experience.

I have had to slow down and re-evaluate what is important to me.

My 19 year old son took over my Italian Food Business and it has not missed a beat.

I am deciding which businesses I want to keep running and which ones I am willing to let go of.

My husband and in-laws have organized and cleaned my entire house (including the little things that I have not had time to get to in the last several years -- like cleaning the screens, window, fireplace, etc.)

My 16-year old daughter who was there when I arrested (and has been subsequently pretty freaked out) now calls me "iron man" since I had a defibrillator installed (ICP).

I look at it as an "insurance policy" to cover me, should anything like this ever happen to me again. Since the doctors have not been able to identify and determine what caused my heart failure, it could happen again. The internal 'electrician' will allow me to return to more normal activity in about 8 weeks.

As far as treatment goes, besides the ICP, I am also on the three most common heart disease medications. Unlike other heart patients, I may be able to stop taking these at some time in the future.

I have to go to cardio rehab therapy for the next three or four months (three times a week) and to a Stress Reduction Class at an area hospital. I am having my sister (who is a higher stress risk than me) attend with me.

The toughest part for me is not being able to drive or lift my left arm above my head for 8 weeks.

A very small price to pay for being alive today. Luckily I had my accident at the right place and the right time. I was given CPR and the EMTs were just a block away, so I was shocked and revived quickly. I credit this terrific care with my exceptional recovery. Even my doctors were delighted and continue to be amazed by my speedy recovery. I intend to keep surprising them!

Essential Oil Recipes - How to Make Natural Products Using 5 Essential Oils Or Less

!±8± Essential Oil Recipes - How to Make Natural Products Using 5 Essential Oils Or Less

Enjoy using Essential Oils and making your own recipes that give you products that are quick and simple to make.

Using only 5 Essential Oils - keep the cost down but not make inferior products for your use. I never compromised on effectiveness in these recipes if it wouldn't work with the five its not listed.

Costing you less - by reducing the number of Oils and combining them with common household ingredients you spend less, waste less and are able to make more as you want it.

Simple recipes - by keeping the recipes simple to do and easy to follow you can save yourself time along with money.

It was amazing how simple but still effective these products were and how easy they are to make and store or make up quickly when you need them. They are great for you, your family, and for inexpensive gifts that look (and smell) a million dollars.

If you love natural chemical free products then this article is for you. If you love to also save money, then this article is definitely for you.

If you love making your own products, you will love the simple step by step recipes.

Even if you have never blended a product before this article is design to give you the easy instruction and all the information you need to make you own products.

There is several great recipes in each of these sections

• Household cleaning
• First aid and Common Ailments
• Relaxation and Stress Relief
• Skin Care
• Hair Care
• Gift Ideas

When we first decided to create recipes with a smaller number of oils we tested three, four, five and six Essential Oil blends and found that five oils give you the most versatility and best value for money.

When selecting our Essential Oils we tested and tested them until we found the best for -

• Value for Money - why use an expensive oil if a less expensive will work just as well
• Essential Oil versatility - what oils have many benefits and usages
• Essential Oil properties - what oils have a larger range or properties and work the best with our bodies and environment
• Simplicity - more common known oils
• Practicality - easy to find oils so you don't have to search for them

THE ESSENTIAL 5 OILS

Here is a quick summary of the Five Essential Oils used to create this complete article

1. Lavender
2. Geranium
3. Lemon
4. Chamomile
5. Tea Tree

Lavender Essential Oil - The most popular Essential Oil is Lavender; if you were only ever going to buy one Essential Oil then Lavender would be the one. It is used in all sections of The Essential 5. This amazing oil is one of the most useful of all essential oils. Lavenders properties include antiseptic, relaxant, antitoxic, for burns, sedative, tonic, deodorant to name a few, and blends well with most other oils. It is bridging oil for perfumes and is a very common known aroma.

Geranium Essential Oil - Geranium has a strong herbaceous aroma with similar notes to rose. This great all round Essential oil has therapeutic properties as an astringent, antiseptic, anti-depressant, tonic, antibiotic, and as an anti-infectious agent. Aid against travel sickness, assists with irritations associated with dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis.

Lemon Essential Oil - Well known for its clean refreshing aroma it has high anti-bacterial properties. On skin and hair it can be used for its cleansing effect, as well as for its Antiseptic properties, and being refreshing and cooling. Lemon may assist with the ability to concentrate. The strong clean smell is commonly associated with cleanliness.

Chamomile Essential Oil - It is useful in the treatment of aches and pains in muscles and joints. Treatment of symptoms of PMS with Chamomile is also beneficial especially when the symptoms are related to stress. It has long tradition in herbal medicine and the flowers were used in many cures including an herbal tea During World War Two. The strong aroma of chamomile is fruity and herbaceous and ideal for children and those with sensitive skins.

Tea Tree Essential Oil - Most of us have use or own this oil at one stage. It is use in two sections and is best known as a very powerful immune stimulant. It can help to fight off infectious. Used as part of an inhalation it can help with colds, measles, sinusitis & viral infections. For skin & hair, Tea Tree has been used to combat acne, oily skin, head lice & dandruff.

THE COST BENEFITS OF USING ESSENTIAL OILS

The main benefit of using Essential Oils when making your own products are that a little goes a long way.

Usually you can buy your Oils in 17ml, 15 ml, 12ml or 6 ml bottles and for every 1 milliliter you get 20 drops that means for your 15 ml you get 300 drops and your 12 ml bottle you get 240 drops.

With different Products ranging from only 10 drops or more you can see now a little goes along way.

This is why they are a cost effective way to create your own blends. By simply changing the quantities and the mix of oils and the base products you are able to make many products with only a few oils.

I love that I can make up some products that I use all the time and then I can just make up enough of a product if I want it for a single use, for example when my son had warts I made up a half bottle and applied as per instruction for the two weeks and I have not needed to use it again.

Whereas I always have Air Freshener and All purpose Cleanser available as well as Antiseptic Cream and Bath Bombs, (ideal to throw in the bath with cranky kids).

ADD BASE PRODUCTS

Add to this some great base products and your away. Using base products combined with Essential Oils for household cleaning and gifts has been used for centuries with records showing uses as far back as ancient Roman Times and in Egypt, Greece and India.

Base products range from everyday common products - Bicarb (bicarbonate soda), Soaps, Salt, Vinegar, Vitamin V creams, Aloe Vera, Eggs along with many other commonly used ingredients.

By understanding that Base Oils and Products have their own properties (attribute, characteristic or ability) allows you to expand the range of recipes and products you may create, by combining of Essential Oil and base product properties.

HOUSEHOLD CLEANING

Some people enjoy cleaning, some people love cleaning, some tolerate it and some do it because 'it has to be done', I'm somewhere between tolerate and 'has to be done', definitely not in the love area. Put on some music; grab the kids, grab my great products and I get it done.

I want products that work; I don't want to have to repeat it. So if I can have effective products that are natural, chemical free, and smell divine, then that's a bonus.

FIRST AID AND COMMON AILMENTS

Creating a First Aid Kit and treating Common Ailments is a great way to see the benefits of using Essential Oils.

Essential Oils bring their therapeutic benefits to the body as they are absorbed into the blood stream via the skin or lungs. The aromatic fragrances can have a pleasing and powerful effect on our general wellbeing. As the Essential Oils enter the bloodstream they take their healing powers to the part of the body that is in most need.

With First Aid and Common Ailments you will find over a period of time you will make up more products that you use regularly and this will bring even more benefits to you and your family.

SKIN CARE SENSATIONS

The recipe gives you great oil; use this if you prefer to use body oil, instead of a moisturizer cream. Body is great to give skin supple appearance and ideal for dry skin or sin in harsh climates where even the loveliest of skin has a tendency to dry up. Apply all over body, for added directly after bath with skin is still damp and gently pat dry.

one of the benefits of making your own skin care products is definitely price, but where you will really see the benefits is in the condition of your skin.

When I started making my own products I notice my skin loved the benefits of the Essential Oils and the high quality base products and it look so much better.

What I found was that I didn't react to anything in the blends as there were no chemicals to irritate my skin. If a blend seems to strong on my skin I just added more Base product to reduce the strength of it, this make the blend lighter. I found this ideal for teenagers, when they first started using their own products as they usually have a tendency to be heavy handed with products and their skin is extra sensitive (hormonal). I found it was an ideal solution and over time if they felt the product wasn't doing its job (i.e. not a clean feeling) I then increase it back up to the original blend ratios.

Normal Skin- Normal Skin usually has a flat appearance, with a healthy glow. It is supple and smooth and free if blemish (may get an occasional one).

Combination Skin - The most common skin type is combination skin, which usually has drier cheeks and the area from the chin up to the forehead and then across the forehead is oily (your t-zone

Acne - Acne skin needs to be treated with an antibacterial cream for the acne and a moisturizer than evens out the skin, helping to reduce the blemishes. Always seek medical assistance with severe acne as many times it's an internal imbalance that needs to be corrected to assist with the external healing of the skin.

Sensitive Skin - Sensitive skin can be any of the different skin types, when making products for sensitive skin HALF the essential oils use in the recipe.

Use the correct Essential Oils for different skin types

Normal Skin - Lavender, Geranium, Lemon and Chamomile

Oily - Lavender, Tea Tree, Chamomile and Geranium

HAIR CARE HELP

Your "crowning glory" is an important part of your appearance and your confidence. If your hair is oily, messy or lifeless it doesn't matter how well you dress your appearance lacks the finesse of the 'together' look. Why do you think there is the term 'bad hair day'.

I found I could change this with the right products, and lots of expense, but I decided to find natural alternatives that didn't break the bank and help my hair without filling it full of chemicals.

Your hair is usually categorized allowing for correct products to be used. Hair can be Normal, Oily, Dry, Damaged and Dandruff. You can tell your hair type by having a look at it in good light and noticing several different aspects.

Normal Hair - shiny and gloss with little or no frizz

Oily Hair - tends to have a buildup of grease, looks dull and lifeless

Dry Hair - usually frizzy and brittle, looks dry and messy

Damaged Hair - any of the above combined with easy breakage and lack of elasticity

Dandruff - flakes found on scalp and may fall onto clothing

Use the correct Essential Oils for different skin types

Normal - Lavender, Chamomile, Lemon, Geranium

Oily - Lavender,Chamomile, Geranium, Tea Tree

Dry - Lavender, Geranium, Chamomile, Lemon

Damaged - Lavender, Chamomile, Geranium, Tea Tree

GORGEOUS GIFT IDEAS

Do you love giving gifts, do you love giving high quality gifts that you know they will love?

I love giving gifts and usually try to get something that my friends and family will use and appreciate; sometimes this is hard especially if they are the sort of person who really has everything they need.

I have found over the years that people receive handmade gifts exceptionally well and I think this is because in this day and age where you can buy just about anything you want and people are having more and more 'stuff' a beautiful handmade gift that they can see you can taken time and effort to make means they are appreciated.

Another benefit of making gifts from Essential Oils is even though they are handmade they can look and will feel expensive and high quality. I remember giving some bath salts once and the person being quite happy about it, but a couple of days later I get a phone call saying how wonderful the Bath Salts where to use compared to other products she had used in the past and could she have more (I gave her the recipe).

For that added touch always present your gifts elegantly in boxes and package that looks a million.

1 tablespoon base oil

1 teaspoon Food coloring or herbs or flower petals for coloring

If required add more base oil, your mixture should hold together into a basic shape. Press mixture into mould and allow to set (2 -3 hours). Press out and store in air tight container.

Allow the mixture to stand for 2-3 days (in a cool dark place) and then add water.

Future Shock: Voice Recognition Identification Technology

!±8± Future Shock: Voice Recognition Identification Technology

Backgrounder: Kay Hughes, flight attendant for today' s non-stop coast-to-coast flight is busy checking her catering order and prepping the cabin. Bob Harmon is the captain and Jeff Mortowski is his first officer. Both are situated in the cockpit going over the pre-flight checklist. The pax are from various companies in the New York area or individuals on personal business who have bought seats on his flight.

The Story: Kay woke up with a start as the alarm on her clock radio blared. Reaching across her pillow, she noticed the time, 5:15, and hammered the snooze button in the hopes of grabbing another five minutes of sleep. Tired as she was, her mind began to race as she considered the day ahead. In less than four hours she would be enroute to L.A. with an aircraft full of passengers. Slowly the thought of additional sleep became less important as she considered all that she had to do before leaving Teterboro. Quietly she slipped on her robe and slippers, poured herself a cup of coffee, and slinked into the shower.

As Kay walked across the tarmac, she saw the fuel truck pulling up to her aircraft and the caterer at the gate waiting for a security clearance. It was 6:48 and already she could feel the heat lifting off of the pavement. Another scorcher she thought; at least L.A. will be cooler.

Kay greeted Jeff who was busy overseeing the fuel delivery; she then climbed onboard the G-V and gave a similar greeting to Bob who was occupied with updating paperwork. Bob finished what he was doing and briefed Kay with the day's schedule. Minutes later Kay turned to assist the approaching caterer with the day's order. Within the hour, the first of the passengers began to arrive. Each sat in the lobby of the FBO waiting to be boarded. At precisely 8:00 a.m., Kay left the aircraft and walked down the ramp to the FBO. She whispered to the waiting security agent who signaled to the FBO customer service representative to make the boarding announcement. "Ladies and Gentlemen, Jet Aviation Flight #001 departing TEB for LAX is now boarding. Please present your identification card and boarding pass to the security agent. Once you are cleared, you will be boarded. Thank you for flying Jet Aviation and enjoy your flight."

Kay turned and left the FBO and walked back to the aircraft. Both pilots were onboard completing their preflight preparations. Kay stood at the bottom of the steps leading up to the aircraft waiting for the security agent to bring the passengers to the plane. She knew that with fourteen passengers the security clearance would take a bit longer than normal.

Kay considered waiting inside the cabin to keep cool, but knew that it was important that she greet the passengers at the base of the steps in case one of them needed assistance climbing up." It must already be 85 degrees out here," she thought as she watched the heat vapors rise off the pavement.

After what seemed like an inordinate delay -- Kay's hair was slowly losing style in the heat -- Bob poked his head out of the cockpit and said, "Sorry for the delay, but we caught another one." Startled, Kay stammered, "You mean one of the passengers failed security clearance?" Bob replied, "Not only that but he is on the FBI's wanted list of suspected terrorists. The remaining passengers checked out okay, but we'll be delayed until the agents finish interviewing them to see if they knew the guy." Despite the heat, Kay shivered as she thought of the potential chain of events a terrorist onboard the aircraft might unleash.

Her fears gradually subsided when Jeff reminded her that the VOICE RECOGNITION IDENTIFICATION TECHNOLOGY (VRIT) unit in the FBO was flawless in the nearly six months of use. Over that time, twenty-six people with a criminal element were pulled, most of whom had been charged previously with petty crimes [such as tax evasion] and were either on the run or would be in violation of their parole restrictions had they left the state. Today marked the first time that a suspected terrorist was caught and as the squad car sirens wailed, Kay knew that this day would be anything but normal.

The above account is fiction, but it pre-supposes a couple of things that could occur in the intervening years that would bring about similar results, i.e., additional and more widespread terrorist attacks being a primary consideration. In addition, a change in the way we do business, i.e., selling seats to individuals instead of selling the entire flight to a company or an individual would have to occur -- no longer would you have a lead passenger who could identify all of the other passengers. VRIT is now within reach and will, more than likely, become the norm of the day. Essentially, it works this way: a person speaks into a device that immediately matches the voice pattern with one in the database. The database identifies the person and when a match is made, the person is cleared [unless the database turns up a warrant for their arrest].

Naturally, in order to get onboard a flight we would require passengers to be part of that database. This could occur if VRIT becomes as mandatory as holding a social security number or a driver's license. Foreign nationals would have to be keyed into the same system to make it work, so the potential for a worldwide Orwellian-type system would be great.

Recently, I had the opportunity to meet with Russ Cooper, a managing partner with COMPUTEK, a Wall Street company that has developed the latest generation of VRIT. He shared with me that both the FBI and CIA use an older generation of VRIT and his company is marketing the current one. Their customer base potential is impressive: government agencies, security firms, airports, airliners, automobile manufacturers, you name it. Wherever a positive i.d. on a person is needed, their technology might be utilized.

According to Russ, the technology is fail-safe. When I mentioned that a voice impersonator like a Richard Little type could sneak by, he claimed that VRIT would still know who he was even with the "Richard Nixon" voice. Apparently, voice patterns are distinguishable even when disguised.

We did not discuss "price" as he was not marketing his product directly to me. I can only imagine that the costs involved would be significant, but then I began to think that they could possibly be offset by lower insurance premiums if insurance companies see the benefit of "guaranteeing" passenger security.

So what role could the flight attendant play in utilizing VRIT? Perhaps in lieu of a security agent [especially in out of the way places like Bozeman, Montana], a VRIT unit would be assigned to your aircraft -- much like a cardiac defibrillator monitor -- and you would greet each passenger as they boarded the aircraft. Before the aircraft could be cleared for takeoff, the passengers would speak into the handheld VRIT and be given a security clearance on the spot.

Let's return to our story and amend it with the security check being placed directly in the flight attendant's hands:

Kay walked down the G-V's steps carrying her mobile VRIT device and waited as the passengers exited the FBO and made their way to the aircraft. She announced, "Welcome onboard Jet Aviation flight #001 bound for Los Angeles. Please speak your name into the VRIT unit. Once you have been cleared, you may proceed up the steps. The first officer will take your boarding pass and you may be seated. If you need additional assistance, the captain will be glad to help you."

One by one the passengers filed by, stating their name and waiting for the green clearance light to flash. As they spoke, a signal was transferred to an orbiting satellite and then beamed to VRIT headquarters in Washington, DC. As the last of the passengers approached, Kay continued to greet each one and wait for clearance. Finally, when all passengers were cleared, she climbed the steps and had both pilots speak into the VRIT unit. At last, Kay placed the unit in the First Officer's hands in order to have him run clearance on her. Kay cleared her throat, spoke her name, but after an extended pause, the VRIT beeped loudly and signaled red. The color in Kay's face drained away and she turned to flee. Within moments several arms reached forward to apprehend her as sirens wailed in the background.

All she could think about was running away...

Startled, Kay awoke from her dream as the snooze alarm blared away.

Are you ready for the Nursing School?

!±8± Are you ready for the Nursing School?

"Congratulations, you have been accepted into nursing school." Reads the first line of admission. Access to information over the phone and called all the big news, like the rest of the package of information stored on a shelf, is outside of the them to care closer to the beginning of the school.
Do not wait. Read all information as soon as possible and get started. There are things that you need, such as vaccination, which can take months to complete. The following is a typicalChecklist of the prerequisites for nursing school with advice and links to prepare for school.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
CPR certification is a prerequisite for entry into all programs with Clinicals. There are different types of certifications such as CPR: CPR for adult, child / infant CPR, First Aid, Blood Bourne Pathogens, Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and CPR for health care (usually recommended). Do not sign up for one without checking with your school to find outexactly what type (s) they need. The courses will last about 5-8 hours and costs about $ 45 - $ 80. Usually needs to get done early is a great idea, but this course between semesters. If you do not have to recertify your CPR just as your May finals begriming.The American Red Cross and American Heart Association, is to take classes and you can enter your zip code on their websites to find a class near you. You can also the local hospital for classes. Hospital sponsoredCPR is less expensive and is usually good for 2 years. Note that the Red Cross certificate good for one year while the Heart Association is good for two years.

Immunizations and physical examination
Arrange an appointment with your doctor immediately and check with your school for your MD all completed forms. Vaccinations, in most schools are:

MMR-documented 2 dates given or positive way (do not get MMR if you are pregnant or become pregnant within3 months after vaccination) Hepatitis B-documented 2 or 3 doses, or had the first dose of 3-(2 nd dose 30 days, the third in six months) or a positive way Varicella (chicken pox) documented 2 dose, since about 4-6 weeks apart, or under positive Td booster in the last 10 years documenting Tuberculin skin test (PPD) / Chest X-ray-All nursing students are required to have a TB skin test every year. Students with a positive result are required to provide results of a recent chestX-ray. Drug Screening - This is becoming increasingly common as medical centers, where you can Clinicals, this is what no one care in their structure.


Uniforms

Many schools have different store to purchase school uniforms at school, while others say, everyone knows bush-type top and bottom is acceptable with the student's identity card. Gowns with your school patch is sewn on the sleeve widespread. If you decide your own style, can get scrubs with pockets. Theircan not or will not use, but will be there when you need it. Check with your school about any restrictions shoes. All are white, no laces (for cleaning), no open back, some of the most common limitations. Stethoscopes and Accessories
You may need to buy a special stethoscope, or may be one you and the costs are included. There are nursing student starter kits sold by different companies. Your school may enter into a contract with a supplier and haveissued their own set, with all materials needed for the program. Here are some items typically useful for nursing students.

Clock with second hand is a must. A watch that includes military time is very useful if you work on your site clinics in military time. Stethoscope-double bell is good to have, and may be required by the program. Blood Pressure Cuff-not absolutely necessary, unless required by the program, but it's nice to be alone. These run about $ 20. For medical scissors-blunt scissors on hand. Stylus-A must for checking pupils among others. 4-color ballpoint pen, or at least 3 colors (blue, black and red) were used according to the colors of your site clinic. Increasingly, personal digital assistants-PDAs are becoming a prerequisite. Although not necessary, it is highly recommended.


Liability Insurance
They will either buy your own or your school purchase a group policy and the costs areTheir taxes. A pricing policy varies depending on the individual state. The average cost for one year is $ 30 cover.


Background checks
CORI (criminal offender record information) and Sori (Sex Offender Registry Information) background checks are required by many clinical centers. Most schools will examine this process and include the cost of taxes. If you must present to school, then it should not cost $ 20.

Read your paperwork at the school, including the fine print.I have heard many stories of students will be programs for all their needs to close. Read all sent to school, and if you are not sure of anything are giving the school a call and ask. Also note the general requirements of the school such as insurance, registration and financial aid deadlines, signing up for online school user accounts, housing, meal plans, etc. Get it all organized and complete, and you're ready to start school. You've done all the aboveand some 'time before school?
Want to know what else can you do to get ready for school? Honestly, it maintains a very hard course. Reading material for students of nursing will be of great use suitable. You have a chance to know each other with the terms of care so that they are no longer so strange when the professor discusses them in class. Student Nurse Journey (SNJourney.com) is the community resource for nursing students. The more time you canspend more willing to come to work for you.
Once again congratulations! You're on your way to a challenging and rewarding career full of unlimited possibilities.

Saving Lives One at a Time defibrillator

!±8± Saving Lives One at a Time defibrillator

An automated external defibrillator, AED is otherwise known as a valuable piece of medical equipment to be kept in the office of emergency. Due to many factors, including storage, home security, remote offices and other unforeseen events could not be the first rescuers arrived on site in time to save a person in cardiac arrest, especially since the average response time in the nation of 10 12 minutes. If an AED is at hand, is a victim of opportunitycan greatly from the assistance until paramedics (paramedics) to increase access provided. AEDs are easy to use and require only minimal training. Designers know that the average user will not be a medical technician, but someone who is under extreme pressure during a tense situation to save a life. Several models are available with features like a button, interchangeable electrodes, and the ability of continuous monitoring.

The training varies depending onrequirements in your state, but usually contains a short course in CPR and AED. Organizations like the American Heart Association offers training to use AEDs. Implementing an AED program is not only useful for the morale of the company, but it can also help to reduce liability. The simple operation, these units are difficult to abuse and the laws signed by President Clinton in 2000 AED users and companies offer protection against liability. Currently there areThe legislation at issue, which would actually make this device meets the standard of care for those who suffer sudden cardiac arrest. If this happens, companies will actually be more at risk is minimal if it does not have this life-saving defibrillators on site.The cost of an AED than the cost of litigation. Units will cost about the same as a high end laptops. They also offer guarantees and long battery life.

There are several points to consider whenImplementing an AED program. First, compare the features and prices of different models. What are the needs of your company? How many people are employed in a position? If you have a big corporate job, you may be able to arrange a discount with a seller for multiple devices. Check with your state's training requirements, which include the need for frequent medical supervision or quality assurance programs. The positioning of the devices is essential. AEDs allowmobile and stationary placement throughout the work environment. The American Heart Association recommends that they set up a 3 to 5 minutes, to support the response time. Sites may reception areas, production areas, near a fire extinguisher in a security office or even on board the corporate jet. These units should always be placed in an area easily accessible and visible for maximum efficiency.
