Challenging Sudden Death: A Community Guide to Help Save Lives

Fortunately, more and more people are learning about the value of AEDs in saving lives. "Challenging Sudden Death" is essential reading for members of any community interested in starting an early defibrillation program. The basic steps needed to launch a successful program are outlined very simply in this book. Having launched a successful AED program, Bartholomew County HeartSavers, Inc. has a "first step" piece of advice for other communities: read "Challenging Sudden Death".

Challenging Sudden Death is extremely thorough with a step by step approach that addresses every question or concern that one might have about implementing an AED program in their community. In my research for resources I feel assured this book should be referred to as the "Gold Standard" for implementing an AED program in all communities. It is indeed, a wonderful tool you've designed and I strongly recommend anyone interested in implementing AEDs in their community to read this book.Thank you again, for developing such a wonderful and needed tool. Success in saving lives and making a difference in our community will be achieved once we implement the model so expertly outlined in your book.Sincerely,Stephanie Mayeaux Program DirectorDr. Chuck Wyatt Medical Director, Acadiana AED Task Force

This book impressed me beyond words. I highly recommend this reading for anyone who values life in general. It is very easy to read as well as succinct in subject matter. My hat goes off to the editor who compiled this information.
