Ready, Set Rescue AED Best Practices

When seconds could mean the difference between life and death for a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) victim, be sure your automated external defibrillator (AED) is visible, easily accessible and maintained, just like a fire extinguisher. It matters where you place it, how you hang it, if anyone can reach it, that someone takes care of it, if everyone can spot it, and that your entire community knows they can use it!
