This is Fred Ball for Zions Bank, speaking on business.
It's an established statistic that 950,000 Americans die from cardiovascular disease each year. Additionally, sudden cardiac arrest kills at least 350,000 people annually.
Through his company, Shock, Inc., Carl Avery wants to help you or your loved ones survive a sudden cardiac arrest. This is why Shock, Inc. is dedicated to helping its clients develop Automatic External Defibrillator Programs. AED Programs are designed to increase the survival rate of those who experience sudden cardiac arrest. For every minute without CPR and defibrillation, the chance for survival decreases by 10 percent.
Carl Avery has more than 20 years experience in Emergency Medical Care. After spending eight years as a firefighter and emergency medical technician and another 12 years as an emergency room nurse, Carl knows about the need for rapid action to aid victims. He also knows how vital it is that care and treatment are done properly.
Shock, Inc. offers a full line of American Heart Association Training programs as well as corporate AED Programs. When a cardiac arrest occurs, only half of the victims will need a shock while the rest require CPR. Shock, Inc. offers tools and training that teach how to determine which technique is needed and how to properly use both to save lives.
Shock, Inc., based in Heber City, offers the AED Plus, a device that directs you to perform all CPR techniques properly. It monitors all aspects of CPR from force and pace to the depth of the compressions and offers correction on anything not done properly. Shock, Inc. also trains in the use of the AED PRO Defibrillator, which offers real-time feedback that allows rescuers to see and hear how well they're performing.
It can be a scary situation if sudden cardiac arrest occurs, but through Shock, Inc., Carl is training families and people in corporations, schools and other organization to act rapidly and effectively to save lives.
