With EMS Week just around the corner (May 16-22), the nation’s emergency physicians have launched a campaign called “Seconds Save Lives” to educate the public about what to do in an emergency.
ACEP (American College of Emergency Physicians) is distributing 75,000 free copies of the brochure “Seconds Save Lives” to emergency departments across the country.
The brochure includes safety tips as well as signs and symptoms of medical emergencies for adults and children. It makes recommendations on when to call for help (EMS or 911) and what actions to take while waiting for help to arrive.
To download a free copy of the Seconds Save Lives brochure, visit emergencycareforyou.org.
Watch Dr. Alison Haddock talk about ACEP’s Second Save Lives campaign.
