CPR/AED Certification
An automated external defibrillator known as an AED is the other component of CPR certification. This course will teach you how to effectively use an automated external defibrillator. An AED is one of the most important pieces of medical equipment available today. This is designed to be a follow up procedure after CPR is administered. An automated external defibrillator is a medical device that can help save lives by restoring a normal heart rhythm to people who experience sudden cardiac arrest. AED’s help save lives, they are an important component to responding to a cardiac arrest. The chance of a person surviving a cardiac arrest drops by 7%-10% every minute that a normal heartbeat isn’t restored.Immediate CPR and AED use can double or triple a persons chance of survival. Combining CPR with the use of an AED device provides the best chance of saving a life. AED devices are intended for use by the general public. They are portable devices that are safe, accurate, and easy to use. AED’s are also meant for use by non-medical personnel such as police officers, firefighters, flight attendants, and security guards who are also trained to use them. AED’s are also meant for people who have been trained in CPR. AED’s can be found in public areas such as sports venues, shopping malls, airports, airplanes, commercial businesses, convention centers, hotels, motels, schools, public pools, doctors offices, and also first responders vehicles. They typically can be located near elevators, cafeterias, main reception areas and on the walls in main corridors. AED training continues to save lives every single day.
