Please join us in celebrating Cath Lab nurse Nancy Smith, RN, on receiving a Community Hero Award from Project ADAM after saving a life in her community! While at home, Nancy was asked to help someone in need. She quickly assessed the situation, recognized the person was in cardiac arrest, and immediately began CPR. She continued chest compressions until EMS arrived. Thanks to Nancy’s quick thinking and lifesaving actions, they made a full recovery! ❤️ 👏 We’re incredibly proud of Nancy for bringing her lifesaving skills beyond the hospital walls. Our Heart Center team makes a difference wherever care is needed!🫀👏

TFD crews joined @unionpublicschools and EMSA for another Project ADAM cardiac arrest drill, this time at @unionhsfreshmen A Union teacher recognized the emergency, activated the school’s Cardiac Emergency Response Team (CERT) and called 911. Staff immediately began CPR, used an AED and continued lifesaving efforts until TFD A Platoon crews from Station 20 arrived. Our firefighters provided advanced medical treatment, including lifesaving medications, before working alongside EMSA to complete the drill. We’re grateful for opportunities like this to train with our local schools and EMS partners. The more we practice together, the better prepared we are when seconds really matter. #ProjectADAM #EmergencyPreparedness #TulsaFire #tfdstation20 @supportprojectadam

Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading medical cause of death in young athletes. I’m the pediatric ER doctor mom scanning the fence line for an AED instead of watching warmups. Happy World Heart Day. If you’re one of the 10,000 new families here, you might not know I also host a podcast: Active Play, Every Day. In our newest episode, I sit down with Danielle, a pediatric cardiac electrophysiology nurse practitioner with @supportprojectadam North Carolina, to talk about what saves a young athlete in the first few minutes, long before they reach my ER. Take a listen - link in my Bio. 10 things every sports parent should know 👇 1. A child who collapses and isn’t responding or breathing normally is in cardiac arrest until proven otherwise. Seizure-like jerking or gasping is common. Call 911, get the AED, start compressions. 2. Survival drops about 7 to 10% for every minute without defibrillation. 3. “Do you have an AED?” isn’t enough. Ask where it is, whether it’s unlocked, and whether it can reach the field in about 3 minutes. 4. It’s an electrical event: the heart’s rhythm turns chaotic and stops pumping. Not the clogged arteries behind most adult heart attacks. 5. Some kids have warning signs first. Fainting or chest pain during exercise always needs evaluation before returning to play. 6. A relative who died suddenly or from heart disease before age 50 is a red flag. Tell your pediatrician. 7. Anyone can use an AED. It talks you through each step and is designed to shock only when needed. 8. Compressions keep blood flowing to the brain. Hard and fast, center of the chest, to the beat of “Stayin’ Alive.” 9. Commotio cordis: a hit to the chest in a split-second vulnerable window of the heartbeat. NOCSAE-certified chest protectors may lower risk, but CPR and a nearby AED save lives. 10. The goal isn’t pulling kids off the field. It’s a rehearsed emergency plan so kids can play hard and stay safe. 🎧 Link in bio to listen. What surprised you most when you asked your child’s team about their emergency plan? 👇 (Educational only, not medical advice.) #worldheartday #projectadam #youthsports #suddencardiacarres

💙 Lurie Children’s nurses are heroes beyond the hospital walls. When a man suddenly collapsed at a wedding that CCU Charge Nurse Claire Moriarty was attending, she immediately sprang into action, performing CPR and instructing those around her get an AED and call 911. Thanks to Claire’s quick thinking and action, she was able to revive the man before paramedics arrived, ultimately saving his life. Recently, Claire was recognized with a Community Hero Award from Project ADAM for her incredible response at this event. We and her teammates are so proud that her lifesaving skills made all the difference in this situation. Lurie Children’s strongly encourages families, schools and community spaces to learn CPR, understand how AEDs work, and have emergency plans in place to help navigate life-threatening heart events with confidence. Project ADAM is a helpful resource for preventing sudden cardiac death. As an affiliate of Project ADAM, Lurie Children’s aims to increase survival from sudden cardiac arrest in Illinois by helping schools achieve a 'Heart Safe School' designation, indicating that they have a cardiac response team and documented response plans in the case of an emergency. For more information about Project ADAM, educational resources and how to become a Heart Safe Site, visit the link in our profile.

I’m a pediatric ER doctor and I’ve run cardiac arrests on kids. Most youth athlete arrests happen at practice, not games, and the person who saves that kid is almost never a doctor. It’s YOU. My 10 rules for anywhere kids play: 1. Recognize it. A kid who collapses and isn’t responding is in cardiac arrest until proven otherwise. Seizure-like jerking and gasping are common in the first minute. Don’t wait. 2. Call 911 and start hands-only CPR. Hard and fast, center of the chest, about 2 pushes per second. You can’t hurt them. Not doing it can. 3. Send someone for the AED by name. “Someone grab it” means nobody does. 4. Three minutes. From anywhere kids play, someone should be able to grab the AED, apply pads, and shock within 3 minutes. A locked office doesn’t count. Walk it. Time it. 5. The AED is built for people who have never used one. Open it and it talks. It won’t shock a heart that doesn’t need it. Proud of @nflflag for having one every time! 6. Every practice, not just games. Practice is one coach and 20 kids, and that’s where most of these happen. 7. A CPR and AED trained adult at every practice, game, and tournament. No athletic trainer? The coaches are the plan. 8. A written plan with names. Who calls 911, who starts CPR, who gets the AED, who meets the ambulance. 9. Drill it. The one everyone skips. In a real arrest, hands shake. Project ADAM recommends several a year. A drill is how you learn the AED was actually 6 minutes away. 10. This is not a reason to pull your kid from sports! Being active is one of the best things for a kid’s heart for life. The answer is a prepared sideline, not a kid on the couch. Ask your school or club this week: Where’s the AED? Who’s CPR trained? What’s the plan? When was the last drill? Can’t answer? Send them to @supportprojectadam . It’s free. Follow @dremilygreenwald and @wayfaring_pediatrics for more. Education, not medical advice. #youthathletes #suddencardiacarrest

Last week, Project ADAM New York had the privilege of partnering with PCRRB EMS, Who We Play For Junior BBHS Club, and New York Medical College to train 160 Blind Brook teachers and staff in Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness, Hands-Only CPR, and AED use. ❤️ This one was especially meaningful for Alice and me. All five of our children attended Blind Brook, and returning to the school meant reconnecting with so many people who taught and supported our children—and who were there for our families through our own experiences with sudden cardiac arrest. We are so grateful for the opportunity to give back and help make Blind Brook an even safer place for its students and staff. The skills they learned could save a life. That’s what it’s all about. ❤️
