Sudden cardiac arrest often happens without warning. There have been several recent cases of cardiac arrest in young athletes, covered in the news. The thought of your child’s heart stopping, is truly terrifying. But instead of worrying that it could happen, we recommend everyone prepare, so you are ready if you ever witness a sudden cardiac arrest.
In this episode, Dr. Adam Powell, a pediatric cardiologist, and Brenda Williams, an RN in the Heart Institute and Simulation Center, are here to discuss cardiac arrest and project ADAM. We define sudden cardiac arrest, talk about warning signs and discuss AEDs and why they are so important. Project ADAM is helping schools become heart safe, and we talk about their work and how schools can get involved. This episode is loaded with information and advice that could be a difference-maker if you ever witness a sudden cardiac arrest. Parents of athletes in particular, need to listen to this one.
