Volume 3, Number 4 | April 11, 2008 In the NewsNational CPR and AED Awareness Week Bill Passed by CongressIn reaction to the staggering 95 percent mortality rate for the more than 300,000 victims of sudden cardiac arrest each year, Congress has passed a bill designating the first week of June National Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Awareness Week. The bill's passage will help raise awareness of how important it is that all Americans learn critical lifesaving skills -- such as how to perform CPR and how to use an AED -- and to increase public access to AEDs. House member Rep. John R. "Randy" Kuhl Jr. (R-NY), a co-sponsor of the bill, said the legislation "will help Americans save lives at the community level. If you suffer sudden cardiac arrest outside of a hospital, you have a five percent chance of survival. It doesn't have to be that way."
