AED is of course an acronym for Automated External Defibrillator, which is a device that corrects a deadly heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation. This deadly rhythm is responsible for the #1 cause of death in the United States, sudden cardiac death (SCD). AED training classes are taught to make the public, and your co-workers aware that with the use of an AED, the chances of survival from SCD can be increased from a mere 5% to up to about 50%!

In our AED Training classes, we empower our students' comfort with the 5 links in The American Heart Association's "Chain of Survival". They are as follows:

1. Early access to 911

2. Early access to quality CPR

3. Early use of an AED

4. Early access to EMS

5. Quick access to care at hospital.

​

The course is recommended to be taught along with basic CPR, as your AED will instruct you to perform CPR after delivering a shock to the patient. This isn't necessary however. We are happy to come to you location and teach a short, informational, non-certification class as well. An AED Training class as a "lunch and learn" is a popular, interesting and potentially life saving topic.
