Saving lives through the chain of survival!

In the event of a cardiac arrest, understanding and applying the chain of survival is crucial to increasing the chance of a positive outcome and recovery for the patient. In this webinar we will illustrate how applying the elements of that chain saved three lives in the same year within a county parks and recreation system. Timothy DeLucia, Aquatics Safety and Compliance Specialist with the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission will outline best practices for staff training, AED availability and a collaborative partnership with his local EMS agency.

Objectives:
1. Describe the components of the chain of survival.
2. Understand the importance of having staff trained and certified in First Aid/CPR/AED.
3. Learn why having AEDs onsite increase the chance for a higher rate of recovery.
4. Highlight the importance of feedback to improve future training opportunities and responder confidence.
