AED

Course Overview

A readily available and easily operated Automated External Defibrillator (AED), at the scene, in the hands of a trained operator can enormously increase the chance of surviving sudden cardiac arrest. This course will enable you to make a life-saving difference.

Electrical Defibrillation is well established as the effective therapy for cardiac arrest, the most important determinant of survival being the time from collapse to delivery of the first shock. Today the widespread deployment of Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) is considered a realistic strategy for reducing mortality due to heart disease.
