The newly updated TSSUS Cardiac Emergency Alert Card (CEAC) is here and will start shipping next week. You can order one (1) per household free during TS Awareness Month with a $1 fee to cover shipping. This is the perfect size for your wallet (the same as a credit card) and is made out of rigid plastic for durability. It's a must-have for people with Turner syndrome of all ages.
How to use this card:
- Keep this card in your wallet by your drivers license or official state ID.
The idea is that first responders or medical professionals can easily find it in case of an emergency where someone might be unresponsive or too scared or confused to communicate effectively.
You can also use it to show to medical staff in the Emergency Department at triage. The QR code can be scanned with the camera on any smart phone or device to go to the Cardiac Emergency landing page on the TSSUS website where there is more detailed information, including how to exclude or rule out aortic dissection by specific testing.
Please order yours today. Be sure to include your full contact and mailing information, and indicate if you have TS or the name of the child with TS for whom it's being ordered.
