When summertime comes upon us we start to plan for Vacation and time to get away and enjoy some quiet and fun times with our family and friends. SCA (Sudden Cardiac Arrest) can follow you on your vacation, without an invitation.Good news if you are planning a trip to any of the Walt Disney World Theme Parks. You never know when SCA can strike or will strike, the important thing is that medical treatment is given immediately. You have a better chance of survival if medical treatment is given immediately and knowing where AEDs are when you travel is important for all families.
Walt Disney Spokespeople say "the AED units are an integral part of the four steps of survival needed during Sudden Cardiac Arrest." The steps are in order:
- call 911
- perform early CPR
- provide early defibrillation
- and obtain early advanced care
o it's resorts, hotels, theme parks and water parks.At Walt Disney Theme parks, MARCS (Medical Assistance Response Cart)are manned by two professionally trained paramedics and AEDs can be found on all security vans, in first aid locations, and all Lifeguards at the waterparks on the properties will have AEDs accessible to them. Walt Disney employees have had the opportunity to learn how to use the AED's and become certified; over 4,000 cast members were trained to use the AED at the various theme parks.
It is senseless to lose your life to SCA (Sudden Cardiac Arrest) - have your heart screened and know your risks so that when you go on vacation, you will be prepared with health information and have peace of mind.
