New York's law says schools must have an automated external defibrillator in case a person has heart problems, but it doesn't apply to private schools. A mother who lost her son to sudden cardiac arrest wants to change that. GainerTV reports.
-- In New York, the law says schools must have an automated external defibrillator, or AED, in case a person has heart problems. But it doesn't apply to private schools.
"He was the most genuine, affectionate, charismatic, athletic young man," said Murray-Nyack."No one knew what to do right away. No one started CPR right away. The AED wasn't used until EMS arrived." "We were more than happy to donate an AED to the school," said Murray-Nyack. In sudden cardiac arrest, the heart's electrical system malfunctions. It stops beating properly and time is critical. Seconds matter.
It took 10 years, but the Dominic Murray Sudden Cardiac Arrest Prevention Act went into effect in July.
