VIDEO/PHOTOS: The Green Bay Metro Fire Department and Emplify Health by Bellin are launching a free app to help save lives. Experts say time is muscle when someone goes into cardiac arrest.
Ann Husen is living proof that knowing CPR and having access to an AED can mean the difference between life and death.
“I don’t remember much, but I went into sudden cardiac arrest while swimming at our local Y. They pulled me out, did CPR right away and then another responder that worked at the Y who was a friend also, he started the AED and they did their thing — shocked me — because it told them that it needed to shock me,” Husen said about her cardiac arrest incident.
While Husen was in a location where employees knew where to find the AED, in some public situations, it’s not that easy — but it’s still vitally important.
