Dimensions Hosts Workplace Well-Being Seminar

The luncheon will provide an overview of how to create a social work environment that fosters innovation, engagement, knowledge sharing and a general sense of well-being. Relationships define the well-being of the individual and collectively define the well-being of the organization. The degree to which an organization is either highly functional or dysfunctional is dependent upon the civility or incivility of these relationships. Simple guidelines, when implemented, dramatically improve company culture. The seminar is hosted by Dimensions' principals, Karen Mastroianni and David Machles who will explore the theories that support this framework and what companies can do to enhance organizational well-being. Their guidelines address how people think, act and relate to others.

Raleigh-Durham HR professionals and corporate safety, health and wellness experts will learn how knowledge-sharing makes work groups more collaborative, engaged and innovative. WakeMed, GlaxoSmithKline, Cisco, Biogen and SAS are just a few of the companies registered to learn these methods.

“Employees want to be engaged,” said Mastroianni, currently an Adult Education and Human Resource Development doctoral candidate. “If they're able to work autonomously and creatively they become engaged.” The number one reason for employee turnover is poor or unhealthy working relationships. Mastroianni will discuss ways to foster fulfilling work environments and increase employee retention.

“We have found that employees are embedded within an organization and culture not through the typical organizational chart, but through social relationships. These relationships define the well-being of the individual and collectively define the well-being of the organization,” said Machles, who also teaches organizational change at NC State.

The Workplace Well-Being Seminar takes place at Mez, located at 5410 Page Road in Durham's Research Triangle Park area. The seminar begins at 10:30AM on Wednesday, June 29th and includes a complimentary lunch. RSVP is required in advance by contacting Dimensions at 919.676.2877. Only registered guests may attend. Tax-deductible donations are encouraged and may be made at guests' discretion. Funds will be donated to the Triangle American Red Cross.

Emergency Essentials HQ Debuts

Virgil Stanphill, internet marketer, is pleased to announce the launch of his new website, Emergency Essentials HQ. Emergency Essentials HQ is the brainchild of Virgil Stanphill, an internet marketer who has spent most of his past 25 years in business and ministry. Virgil said, "After seeing one disaster followed by another in different parts of the world, I've grown more and more convicted of the need to protect my family from being caught off guard and trapped in an emergency - trapped without knowing what to do. I created Emergency Essentials HQ to help families and individuals who feel the same need to prepare."

Emergency Essentials HQ helps people feel  more in control of out-of-control situations. Whether  a disaster  is natural, man made, or accidental makes  no difference. It''s always best to be prepared!

Many people stood helplessly by and watched the  horrific damage caused by recent earthquakes and  tsunamis, as they took their toll on human life and  property. Flooding in New Orleans, snow and freezing  temperatures in the south, mudslides, landslides,  hurricanes, tornadoes, and more, are gruesome  reminders of  how vulnerable we really are. Add to  that the very real threats of food shortages, hyperinflation, rising energy costs, power grid  failures, potential acts of  terror and constant  rumblings of war - and there are far too many  scenarios which could place a family in peril.

Emergency Essentials HQ is an online resource which  helps people take control and realize peace of mind  by making advance preparations to carry them through an emergency situation.  

EEHQ begins with the basics - like understanding  priorities and taking care of probable needs one at a  time. They encourage families to make a plan, and  suggest they begin by familiarizing themselves with  good first aid practices. This includes having a working knowledge of the most critical first aid supplies to have on hand - and creating a place for quick, easy access to it - that everyone in the family knows about. Next is to create a  plan for suitable water for drinking and hygiene. Then food, then clothing, and then shelter.

Those who visit the site will also find access to an Online Video Survival Course that covers nearly every imaginable disaster a person could end up facing.

Stanphill said, "I''m confident that as a result of visiting our site many people will find the answers they need, and, they will learn how to prepare for an emergency or a disaster, should they ever be confronted with one."

A continuous shooting speed of up to 5.0 fps allows for fast action capture. 9 cross-type AF focus points help ensure crisp focus throughout the frame, and the Hybrid CMOS AF system enables speedy and accurate autofocus when shooting in Live View mode. In addition, the camera is compatible with Canon STM lenses for smooth, quiet AF performance. And the performance doesn't stop with photos. EOS Full HD Movie mode with Movie Servo AF makes shooting high quality movies easy, and the brilliant Vari-angle Touch Screen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor II makes composing fun.

Amazing Capture and Processing Power.

18.0 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor

The EOS Rebel T5i features Canon's amazing 18.0 Megapixel CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor. Perfect for enlargements or for cropping detailed portions of the composition, the camera's sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range. This first-class sensor features many of the same technologies used by professional Canon cameras to maximize each pixel's light-gathering efficiency and has center pixels that aid in the EOS Rebel T5i's accurate AF performance. This APS-C size sensor creates an effective 1.6x field of view (compared to 35mm format).

14-bit A/D Conversion

With 14-bit analog-to-digital conversion, the EOS Rebel T5i captures and records images with remarkable gradations and detail in subtle tones and colors, resulting in more realistic and detailed images. By recording up to 16,384 colors per channel, the EOS Rebel T5i ensures that the fine detail found in subjects like foliage, sky and water are preserved and recorded with a tremendous level of accuracy, ensuring gorgeous results.

ISO 100–12800 and expandable to 25600 in H mode

Thanks to its DIGIC 5 Image Processor, the EOS Rebel T5i features an expanded ISO range of ISO 100–12800 (expandable to 25600 in H mode) that makes shooting possible in situations previously unthinkable without flash. The EOS Rebel T5i, with the DIGIC 5 Image Processor's remarkable noise-reduction technology, performs brilliantly in low-light shooting. Used with one of Canon's EF or EF-S lenses with Optical Image Stabilizer, the EOS Rebel T5i can record beautiful images even when light sources are scarce.

DIGIC 5 Image Processor

The EOS Rebel T5i's DIGIC 5 Image Processor works with the camera's CMOS sensor to deliver images with incredible detail in more situations, without the need for artificial light sources.

An AI Servo AF system achieves and maintains consistent focus with an exceptional degree of reliability.

The EOS Rebel T5i also features Canon's amazing Hybrid CMOS AF System, perfect for shooting photos and video in Live View. This system combines two distinct AF technologies, phase and contrast detection AF, for speedier and more accurate focus. These complementary focusing systems are aided by pixels on the camera's CMOS sensor that assist in predicting subject location, making continuous focus tracking quick and accurate in video recording while enhancing focusing speed.

True HD Performance, Rebel Simplicity.

EOS Full HD Movie Mode with Movie Servo AF

The EOS Rebel T5i offers easy-to-use, professional video capture without compromise. Capable of shooting in a number of recording sizes and frame rates, the EOS Rebel T5i is the new standard for performance, quality and simplicity. The EOS Rebel T5i enables easy manual control of exposure, focus and Live View features, even in-camera editing! Movie Servo AF allows continuous autofocus tracking of moving subjects while recording video. When shooting video with one of Canon's STM lenses, such as the new EF-S 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 IS STM, Movie Servo AF takes advantage of the lens' stepping motor for smooth and quiet continuous AF. With an STM lens attached, the EOS Rebel T5i is the standard for SLR moviemaking performance!

Built-in stereo microphone, manual audio level adjustment

The EOS Rebel T5i has an internal stereo microphone for improved audio capture and a wind filter feature to reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors. Sound recording levels can be manually (up to 64 different levels) or automatically controlled. A built-in attenuator is also provided to reduce audio clipping. For more advanced audio recording, the EOS Rebel T5i is compatible with many third-party electret condenser microphones with a 3.5mm diameter plug.

Video Snapshot

With the Video Snapshot feature, the EOS Rebel T5i can capture short video clips (of 2, 4 or 8 seconds) then combine them automatically into one video file as a snapshot or highlights "album". With no editing needed after shooting, the compiled video is perfect for sharing online or displaying directly on an HDTV via the camera's HDMI port. Additionally, stills can be recorded during video shooting simply by pressing the camera's shutter button. During playback, video clips in an album can be reordered or deleted.

Sharp and Clear, with Tactile Controls.

Vari-angle Touch Screen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor II with multi-touch operation and Touch AF

The EOS Rebel T5i comes with a Vari-angle Touch Screen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor II. Using capacitive technology similar to today's popular mobile devices, this screen is touch-sensitive and delivers intuitive touch panel operation. Two-finger touch gestures can be used for zooming or changing images. Menu and quick control settings can be accessed, and focus point and shutter release can be activated with the touch of a fingertip using Touch AF. Displaying fine detail (at approximately 1.04 million dots), this screen is perfect for composing and reviewing images. Thanks to a solid construction between the monitor's resin-coated cover and the liquid crystal display, reflections are minimized, and the display can be viewed, without glare, from any number of angles. The LCD's surface is treated with a smudge-resistant coating to minimize fingerprints and maintain a bright, clear image display.

Complex Functions Made Simple.

Scene Intelligent Auto mode

The EOS Rebel T5i features Scene Intelligent Auto mode, which incorporates a number of Canon technologies to deliver the best possible exposure. Joining Picture Style Auto, Automatic Lighting Optimizer, Automatic White Balance, Autofocus, and Automatic Exposure, Scene Intelligent Auto mode analyzes the image, accounting for faces, colors, brightness, moving objects, contrast, even whether the camera is handheld or on a tripod, and then chooses the exposure and enhancements that bring out the best in any scene or situation.

Amazing Effects for Dramatic and Gorgeous Results.

Handheld Night Scene mode

Accessible right on the EOS Rebel T5i's Mode Dial, Handheld Night Scene mode captures nightscapes with bright highlights and detailed dark areas, delivering results previously impossible without the use of a tripod. By shooting and combining four consecutive shots at a shutter speed fast enough to avoid camera shake, the EOS Rebel T5i's Handheld Night Scene mode makes dramatic nighttime photography simple.

HDR Backlight Control mode

The EOS Rebel T5i's HDR Backlight Control mode ensures that backlit subjects are not recorded too darkly. By shooting three consecutive shots at different exposures (underexposed, correctly exposed and overexposed) and then combining the images, the final result maintains detail in both the shadow and highlight areas, ensuring the backlit subject is properly exposed.

Seven Creative Filters that can be displayed in real time

To add to the fun and creative possibilities available with the EOS Rebel T5i, the camera has seven different creative filters that can dramatically alter the mood and visual effect of any particular scene. Creative Filters include Grainy Black and White, Soft Focus, Fisheye Effect, Toy Camera Effect, Miniature Effect, Art Bold Effect and Water Painting Effect. Each effect can be applied in three different levels (low, standard and strong), and easily previewed on the LCD panel in Live View. Since the filters can be applied to the image after shooting, it's easy to try several effects on the same shot during post-process.

Cleaner Images, Even at High ISO.

Multi Shot Noise Reduction

To enhance its already admirable high ISO shooting capabilities, the EOS Rebel T5i features an intelligent Multi Shot Noise Reduction tool that reduces noise even further than the camera's sensor and the DIGIC 5 Image Processor do. With Multi Shot Noise Reduction activated, the camera takes four consecutive shots, merges and aligns them. This eliminates more noise than the Rebel's traditional Noise Reduction filter, with little or no apparent resolution loss. Moving subjects are even optimized to minimize subject blur! Thanks to this clever feature, high ISO shooting has never looked better.

Flexible and Reliable Recording.

Compatibility with SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, including Ultra High Speed cards

The EOS Rebel T5i uses popular SD, SDHC, SDXC, and is even compatible with Ultra High Speed (UHS-I), memory cards. Compact and available in large capacities, SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards are a perfect complement to the camera's compact design.

Additionally, the EOS Rebel T5i is compatible with Eye-Fi* SD cards, which are outfitted with a Wi-Fi^® transmitter (IEEE 802.11b/g) and an internal antenna for wireless, high-speed transfer of images. With an Eye-Fi card installed, the EOS Rebel T5i can display the Eye-Fi's connection status and error notes with ease, for fully functional wireless uploading of images directly from the camera.

* Canon cameras are not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card functions, including wireless transfer. In case of an issue with the Eye-Fi card, please consult with the card manufacturer. The use of Eye-Fi cards may not be available outside the United States and Canada; please contact the card manufacturer for territory availability.

A Comprehensive System of Optics Perfect For Video and Stills.

Compatible with EF and EF-S lenses

The EOS Rebel T5i is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, including compact and lightweight EF-S lenses, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses and including the STM series optimized for video shooting. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver outstanding performance and deliver beautiful results. Special technologies like Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer help to minimize the effect of camera shake, effectively adding up to four stops of light; STM lenses even feature a stepping motor for smooth and quiet continuous autofocus while capturing video. With an array of lenses perfect for travel, sports, still life and everything in between, photographers can truly maximize the quality and performance of their EOS Rebel T5i.

More Features for Increased Versatility.

Lens Aberration Correction

The EOS Rebel T5i features lens correction tools that compensate for lens characteristics that can affect overall image quality. The EOS Rebel T5i's Peripheral Illumination Correction feature corrects light falloff in the corner of the image according to the characteristics of the lens being used. It even has correction data for a number of popular lenses stored in its memory. With the EOS Rebel T5i's chromatic aberration correction tool, distracting color fringing can be corrected at the time of shooting.

Feature Guide

To help explain the specific function of features found on the EOS Rebel T5i, the Feature Guide displays a simple description helpful in determining the applicability for the situation at hand. It is displayed in each shooting mode, during mode dial operations, and for Quick Control screen functions. It appears automatically when a function is selected – a lifesaver when trying to determine the best mode or function for the next picture. The feature guide works automatically by default, and can be disabled easily through the camera's menu.

GPS Compatible

With the optional GPS Receiver GP-E2 attached to the hot shoe or the digital terminal, the EOS Rebel T5i can record location, including latitude, longitude and altitude, and has the ability to track the trajectory of movement with its logging function. An electric compass records the camera's orientation during each shot, and world time information is recorded through GPS syncing.

JPEG Resizing

To create images suitable for sharing by email or online, the EOS Rebel T5i can resize JPEG files, in-camera, of varying pixels (aspect ratio cannot be changed, only the image size can be decreased) while leaving the original image untouched.

Photobook Set-up

Photographers can share their images in book form with the EOS Rebel T5i's convenient Photobook Set-up feature. Users can easily choose specific images, images in a folder and even all images, then specify their sequence and layout. The results can be printed in book form with ease.

Image Rating

To help organize images recorded to the camera's storage, the EOS Rebel T5i makes it simple to rate individual images from one star to five. Therefore, image browsing, printing and slide shows can be based upon those ratings.

Scene Mode Position

Newly featured on the EOS Rebel T5i, the SCN setting on the Mode dial activates a choice of scenes on the menu screen for quick access to features like Night Portrait, HDR Backlight Control, Handheld Night Scene and more.

Expertise in matters and Fieldskills joined together

Fieldskills and expertise in education have been delivering security University fieldwork training in universities, including Oxford, Leeds, Nottingham and Bristol since 2008.

Now working together under the banner of expertise in education are designed to best practice and skills through practical scenarios and group discussions on university education fieldwork for students safety and planning staff to perform fieldwork. To give you a taste, here are some key points regarding the safety of fieldwork:

Being eaten by a tiger might seem like the biggest danger for fieldwork, but the more mundane things like malaria and road accidents to be programmed; It is quite likely to happen and have major consequences: they perceive the risks vs. the real dangers. This is particularly true in remote environments where pre-planning tucked in his if dealing with an incident when away from help, and is why fieldworkers should generate overall risk estimates.

Risk assessments are usually accompanied by a groan and despair: a little tedious paper work achieve the ultimate objective? It is not so. These pieces of paper is key to being able to deal with the problems. Risk assessments to identify hazards fieldworkers allows, to reduce any risk to acceptable levels and eventually to carry out safe and successful fieldwork. But the whole team should be aware of the risk assessment-how can work to protect them, if you don't know exists? Risk assessment needs to be changed dynamically in the field dealing with changing conditions, usually done by writing a field diary.

The key message is to not put away are just beginning to think about all the things that could go wrong in fieldwork. Fieldwork challenging, before during and after, but completing detailed pre-planning, ultimately leading to a safe and successful fieldwork.

Education University fieldwork safety know-how can be adapted to any fieldwork carried out: from the urban landscape in the depths of the jungle. Specialized knowledge is conveyed in a fun, practical way of experienced instructors, who come to universities for anything from a few hours to a few days, depending on the requirements of the University.

Honor Lost Son Through HeartRespond Initiative

It’s ironic that we live in an age of advancing medical technology and knowledge, yet our overall public health continues to decline. Every day, lives are needlessly lost because of the lack of access to immediate life-saving first aid.

Today, we have the ability and technology that can make first aid readily available where it is needed the most. It can be found in an innovative new product developed under the HeartRespond Initiative – the Safety Kit.

First Aid That Saves Lives

Developed by the Centers for Health and Public Safety,
the Safety Kit brings emergency first aid for public use into the 21st Century.

The Safety Kit is packed with essential first aid supplies to respond to almost any emergency at work, in school, in public areas, even at home.  It provides everything needed to treat injuries until emergency services can arrive.

Each Kit contains an AED, or automated external defibrillator. The AED is designed to be operated by anyone. It features on-demand voice prompts — known as “On-Demand CPR” — to clearly guide users through each step of an emergency and restart normal heart rhythm.

Providing Care Where Needed

Immediate response to an emergency is critical to maintaining life until professional responders arrive. The goal of the HeartRespond Initiative is to place life-giving first aid like the Safety Kit in locations where such emergencies are most likely to happen.

These locations include:

•   Businesses
•   Offices
•   Schools
•   Churches
•   Hotels
•   Restaurants
•   Retail stores
•   Sports facilities
•   Public facilities

Safety Kits are designed to be stored in an accessible spot and are easily recognized by the distinctive red or blue cases. Portable and well organized, the kits allow users to bring the first aid to the victims and immediately begin treatment to prolong life until emergency services arrive on scene.  

Creating an Affordable Response

Meeting the need to place life-saving care where it is needed the most is where the HeartRespond Initiative is breaking new ground. To be successful, it will require a renewed sense of community responsibility that can draw businesses and organizations together for the benefit of all.

The return on the investment in HeartRespond Initiative can be calculated not in dollars, but in lives saved. The modest cost to place Safety Kits in proper locations can be offset through innovative programs such as:

•   HeartRespond Adopt-a-School
Businesses and community individuals select a school and raise funds to purchase a Safety Kit for placement in the school.

•   Fundraiser for a Purpose
Groups and organizations mount a fundraising campaign with Responsible Fundraising, a national fundraising effort that generates up to a 50 percent profit on sales of affordable first aid kits and supplies.

•   HeartRespond Donations
Local organizations solicit donations from the community to underwrite the purchase and placement of Safety Kits and AEDs.

•   Participate in the AED Partnership Program
Through HeartRespond, businesses, leaders and individuals from the community can join together in a partnership to identify local facilities where placement of Safety Kits have the most impact and then work to purchase and place the kits.

The Next Steps

We invite you to visit the Centers for Health and Public Safety online at www.lifesavingresources.org to learn more about the HeartRespond Initiative and the Safety Kits. There, you can learn more about Sudden Cardiac Arrest, AEDs and the technology available that can make the difference in thousands of lives across this country.

Or, contact George Wheeler, CEO of the Center, at 888-917-2477 to discuss ways to provide life-saving first aid and technology in your community.

George's start for preventing unnecessary deaths from sudden cardiac arrest took root in August 2001. His son, a Northwestern University football player, died from sudden cardiac arrest following a conditioning workout with the Northwestern football team.

First Aid and Safety of Texas

This September, our nation will mark the ten year anniversary of 9/11.  First Aid & Safety of Texas has committed to participate in National Preparedness Month (NPM) in September, an event founded after 9/11 to increase preparedness in the U.S. The event, now in its eighth year, is a nationwide, month-long effort hosted by the Ready Campaign and Citizen Corps, encouraging households, businesses and communities to prepare and plan for emergencies. First Aid & Safety of Texas is participating this year by offering American Heart Association training courses, including CPR.  

One of NPM’s key messages is: be prepared in the event an emergency causes you to be self-reliant for three days without utilities and electricity, water service, access to a supermarket or local services, or maybe even without response from police, fire or rescue. Preparing can start with three important steps:

1. Get an emergency supply kit
2. Make a plan for what to do in an emergency
3. Be informed about emergencies that could happen in your community, and identify sources of information in your community that will be helpful before, during and after an emergency.

Preparedness is a shared responsibility; it takes a whole community. This year’s National Preparedness Month focuses on turning awareness into action by encouraging all individuals and all communities nationwide to make an emergency preparedness plan. Preparedness information and events will be posted to Ready.gov.  

First Aid & Safety of Texas offers first aid, CPR and other courses throughout National Preparedness Month and throughout the year.  “Medical emergencies can strike anyone, anywhere - and when they do, a victim's chance of survival depends on the people around them. That could mean you”, says Fran Riggs, owner of First Aid & Safety of Texas.

This is the first year First Aid & Safety of Texas has participated in NPM. For more information about the Ready Campaign and National Preparedness Month, visit Ready.gov or call 11-800-BE-READY, 1-888-SE-LISTO, and TTY 1-800-462-7585

First Aid Skills Can Save a Life

April is National Pet First Aid Awareness Month and is intended to promote the importance of basic pet first aid knowledge for pet owners.  Knowing what to do in the initial minutes of an accident or trauma can be critical to a pet's life.  Pet owners that are trained in pet first aid measures and proper life saving techniques are better prepared to handle routine and life threatening emergencies.  

Many Red Cross chapters across the country offer classes with hands-on training in Pet First Aid procedures and is considered to be one of the best ways to learn pet first aid skills.  Red Cross Pet First Aid classes can give pet owners the confidence and skills necessary to tend to unexpected emergencies until medical attention is available.

According to Niki Tudge, founder of the DogSmith, “First aid kits, CPR classes and emergency preparedness plans are all ways that pet owners can prepare themselves for emergencies.  This is why all DogSmith dog trainers and pet care technicians are certified in first aid and we always encourage owners to create a first aid kit for their pets and keep it handy.  If you are an active dog owner then keep several kits handy, one at home, one in the car and one in your sports bag.  And don’t forget to include your vet’s phone number, emergency animal clinic numbers and the ASPCA’s Animal Poison Control Center telephone number (888-426-4435) in your first aid kit.”  

Tudge says, “You hope to never have to use your first aid kit, but in an emergency, having it close at hand may save your pet's life. Pet owner first aid in many cases is a first response before professional care is provided so exercise caution around ill or injured pets because pets in pain may bite.  Keeping your animal and caregivers safe is a top priority. An important and useful tip is to know how to apply an emergency muzzle. The best and most comfortable way is to tie the knot underneath the muzzle then around the ears to eliminate contact with the eyes.”

For more information on Pet First Aid, visit http://www.redcross.org/ or contact your local DogSmith Certified Pet Care Expert.

The DogSmith Franchise Services Inc. is a Florida based company whose mission is to enhance the lives of pets and their owners by improving their relationship, and the quality of the life they share, through providing professional support and training to pet dog owners, supporting and assisting animal shelters and rescue organizations to minimize the number of unwanted animals and offering affordable and professional care to family pets so that pet ownership is never a burden.

A Life-Saving Gift To Stop The Anxiety

More than 300 NYC-based parents, invited parental experts, industry press/VIPS, top mommy bloggers, and leading baby and child product/service providers will participate in The Mommybites Summit- "The Ultimate Moms' Night Out". Moms and expecting mothers will have the opportunity to shop, socialize and learn from parenting experts.  These moms will also have the opportunity to take some of that expert knowledge home with them. This year, MEDBASICS®, LLC is donating 350 Baby MEDBASICS®, books to the Mommybites Summit.

"'It is our pleasure to participate in the 2011 Mommybites Summit. We understand the worry associated with childhood medical emergencies, have created a way to stop the anxiety, and are passionate about sharing it with other parents," said MEDBASICS® CEO, Tara Summers-Hermann, RN, BSN.

So how does a book stop parental anxiety? It's about preparation and portability. The Baby MEDBASICS® book is an active part of a baby's life. According to the authors, this book was not created to sit on a shelf with baby reference books. It is small, lightweight, fits in any diaper bag, and goes everywhere baby goes because accidents don't just happen at home. It is also available as an app for the iPhone and iPad. "It's kind of like having a doctor and nurse with you wherever you go," explained Tara. "A lot of parents believe that during a medical emergency, calling 911 is all they need to do. Although it clearly is a crucial step in emergency response, your response as a parent or caregiver can not stop there. The average ambulance response time is eight minutes. Brain damage from lack of oxygen begins in as little as four minutes and death shortly after. You simply can not wait for someone else to provide the immediate emergency care your child needs. You are your child's first responder and MEDBASICS® is there to help you respond reliably until medical help arrives."

Luke Hermann, MD, and Tara Summers-Hermann, RN, BSN, took great care in converting "medical speak" into simple instructions, illustrations and easy to follow action pathways creating the essential emergency guide that is there for parents and caregivers whenever, wherever and if ever they need it. In the non-emergent times, parents and caregivers have peace of mind knowing they don't have to worry about whether or not they will remember what to do. And according to Dr. Hermann, they won't remember everything. "Statistics show us that over 80 percent of people who learn CPR do not remember how to give CPR when retested less than six months after taking the course. We absolutely recommend parents and caregivers take a CPR course but we also know their best chance for a reliable response is a CPR course + MEDBASICS®."
