The frightening situation with Christian Eriksen on Saturday led me to think about club and facility preparedness if, god forbid, something like that happened at a youth soccer game or practice. Does anyone know if the local clubs or school/city/county facilities have AEDs accessible?

My brother had a heart attack while playing in his adult rec league back east. A teammate did CPR until ambulance arrived with equipment. He was on a ventilator for several days in ICU but recovered. while this situation is pretty rare for kids, it could certainly happen to an adult ref or coach during a game. I don't know about club preparedness. I remember in middle school my kids had to learn CPR with their club but I don't think it was an annual thing.

Seattle United have an AED that goes with their Full time athletic trainer wherever she goes. They also have access to the AED when they are at the Seattle Public schools facilities.

How many clubs/facilities have AEDs on site during trainings, games and tournaments? Seems like soon it will be an issue if an organization doesn’t maintain one.

There is a popular phone app called pulsepoint AED which has the location and picture of the nearest to your location AED on it. Club owned AED's must be maintained at a certain standard of maintenance which can ad overhead or it might not actually be available god forbid you need it.

Bottom line, if it were important to the clubs they’re incorporate CPR/AED training with their yearly coaching requirements instead of hoping a parent on the sidelines works in the medical field and can help.

What is really scary… the sudden cardiac arrest is pretty common in teens athletes. It doesn’t mean that kids have prominent and noticeable heart problems… just normal healthy kids. But combinations of several factors like hidden minor defects in heart, hormonal changes and extensive rapid cardio load could bring to that scary situation during the game/practice. For example, in Sweden, you can ask family doctor to perform basic not expensive tests to rule out that minor problem that could led to sudden cardiac arrest. You could just bring 2 points: your kid is athlete and in teenage years. I was asking our pediatrician about this - she said no test unless you have vivid symptoms.
