Philips HeartStart Essentials Toolkit for Education
The 
Philips HeartStart Essentials Toolkit for Education (www.medical.philips.com/goto/HeartStartEssentials) provides step-by-step implementation guidelines for establishing successful early defibrillation programs in the school environment. Each toolkit comes with a reference guide, which explores issues that may arise during and after school hours; a sample program policy, which covers topics such as legal and risk management; and an implementation guide, which provides background on sudden cardiac arrest and funding suggestions for the toolkit.
