A new law in New York mandates public schools to create plans for cardiac emergencies. Prompted by the death of 12-year-old Desha Sanders, the legislation ensures that defibrillators in schools are accessible and well-marked. School staff will receive training on using defibrillators, and a specific emergency plan must be developed. Reflecting on other incidents, such as Damar Hamlin's collapse during a game, advocates emphasize the importance of preparedness in saving lives. The law goes into effect in six months.
The new law requires that defibrillators be well-marked and accessible. School districts must train staff on how to use them, and develop a specific emergency plan.
No one could locate the keys to open it, and as precious, precious minutes ticked by, Desha's life hung by a thread.
