Automated External Defibrillators
CPR alone does not save lives - in fact the North American
average for 'saves' is less than 5% with CPR alone. CPR combined
with an AED has been shown in recent anecdotal evidence to reach
a 'save' factor of between 40 - 50%.
AED units are now appearing in many industries, recreation
centres and public places such as shopping malls and golf
courses. To be effective ideally the AED unit should be on the
patient within 4 - 6 minutes.
AED's have been recommended by the American and Canadian
Heart Associations as part of an effective response system to a
cardiac arrest. Early activation of the emergency 9-1-1 system,
early application of CPR and early defibrillation (AED)
remains
the best way to save a life.

AED - Automated External Defibrillator Course
A 4-hour
comprehensive program designed to strengthen the Chain of Survival and provide training on
Automatic External Defibrillators (AED’s) to targeted responders. Targeted responders
may include industrial first aiders, lifeguards, airline personnel or volunteer
firefighters. The program establishes and provides guidelines and protocols in the
application and use of AED’s. Throughout the course participants increase their
familiarity with the concepts, principles and practices of defibrillation while increasing
their level of confidence, competence and ease of use of AED devices. Early defibrillation
by initial rescuers is a vital link and the one most likely to increase the survival rate
from sudden cardiac arrest. WCB approved course.

equipment. We would like you to be part of that emergency
response system - contact us about our Community
