Quick-thinking and well trained staff at the Y administered the AED twice, and then did CPR until the ambulance arrived. He is doing well today and my family is grateful. I would encourage every employer, especially those who work with the public, to look into purchasing an AED. Please believe me that it is worth the cost. It's not just a liability issue - they actually do save lives. My husband’s life was saved by an AED machine when he collapsed while working out at the local YMCA in 2007.
