Automated External Defibrillation
The MEDIC FIRST AID AED Supplement is designed to teach the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) when responding to a person experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death in occupational settings. A defibrillator is the only definitive treatment. AEDs are used prior to arrival of EMS and are an integral component of the "Chain of Survival." The first few minutes of care are critical for someone who is experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.
All Automated External Defibrillation courses from MEDIC FIRST AID use video scenarios, hands-on student practices, and feature:
- Chain of Survival
- Integrating the Use of an AED
- Basic AED Operation
- Troubleshooting
- Other Considerations
