AED Training
 
An Automated External Defibrillator or AED is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient, and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm. AEDs are designed to be simple to use for the layman, and the use of AEDs is taught in first aid, first responder and basic life support (BLS) level CPR classes
Heart disease is the biggest cause of untimely death in the UK. If a casualty has a Heart Attack and goes into Cardiac Arrest, time is life .
In this situation most casualties will need defibrillation (a controlled shock to correct the heart’s action) and the quicker this is applied the higher the chances of survival.
