AED Pad Placement
CPR & Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Facts
Anyone can learn CPR and everyone should! Sadly, 70
percent of Americans may feel helpless to act during a
cardiac emergency because they either do not know how to
administer CPR or their training has significantly lapsed.
This alarming statistic could hit close to home, because
home is exactly where 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur.
Put very simply: The life you save with CPR is mostly likely
to be someone you love.

BIHS Receives the IHS Ride Safe Car Seat Safety Program
Indian Health Service (IHS) developed Ride Safe to help tribal communities address motor vehicle injuries among American
Indian and Alaskan Native children. Specifically, Ride Safe aims to reduce the rate of motor vehicle related injuries to children,
aged 3 to 5 years, enrolled in participating Tribal Head Start programs, by promoting motor vehicle child restraint use. The Ride
Safe Program training module includes eight guides; each guide includes activities for a specific group within the Tribal
community.
BACKGROUND
Motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) are the leading cause of death for American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) ages 1-44. Tragically,
MVC injuries and deaths disproportionately affect the youngest members of the community and their families. MVCs are the
leading cause of death among American Indians/Alaskan Natives (AI/AN) children ages 1-9. Individuals that would one day
grow up to be future community leaders and parents often don’t get the chance to take their place in the community. These
losses are even more tragic because the majority of severe MVC injuries and deaths could be prevented through the use of a
child safety seat or seatbelt.
When parents and childcare providers use appropriate occupant restraints while transporting their child in a vehicle, the
chances of their child surviving a car crash improves. Unfortunately, on-going observational surveys in AI/AN communities
suggest that seatbelt and child safety seat usage rates on most Tribal Reservations are very low.
The Ride Safe Program will achieve its overall goal by meeting the following objectives:
Provide funding and support for at least one Tribal Head Start Center staff member to complete the National Highway
Eliminating pools of standing water used for breeding by mosquitoes around their
yard and neighborhood. Many mosquitoes do not fly very far so the mosquitoes
plaguing your yard may be coming from nearby. Check any areas that may contain
standing water such as old tires, buckets, wheelbarrows, and plugged drains and gutters.
• Check windows and screens for their working condition
• Use Insect repellents. .
• Use and follow the label of an EPA registered
insect repellent that includes one of the following active ingredients:
DEET
Picaridin
IR3535
Oil of lemon eucalyptus
Para-menthane-diol,
o2-undecanone.
EPA-registered insect repellents are proven to be safe and effective, even for pregnant
and breastfeeding women when used as directed. There appears to be no advantage to
using DEET concentrations above 50%.
• Do not use insect repellent on babies younger than 2 months old. Instead, dress them in clothing that covers
their arms and legs and use covers over strollers and baby carriers. Adults should spray insect repellent onto
their hands and rub onto child’s face. Don’t apply repellent to child’s hands, eyes, mouth or irritated skin.
If your child’s body swells and becomes inflamed from mosquito bites, talk to your Health
Care provider about the possibility of a mosquito bite allergy called (Skeeter Syndrome.)
