Automatic External Defibrillators (AED's) are becoming more common throughout workplaces and not just with the emergency services. In an emergency, a First Aider can supply Basic Life Support to a casualty but with the addition of the correct use of an AED, the chances of survival for the casualty are significantly increased. This training will ensure that your staff have the knowledge and confidence to use an AED in an emergency.
This course is designed to give the necessary Basic Life Support skills including resuscitation techniques to your students and to give a working knowledge of, and hands-on skills with, the AED.
On completion of training, successful candidates should be able to:
- Demonstrate resuscitation of an adult in cardiac arrest
- Demonstrate the sequence of actions and skills required to use an AED during the simulated resuscitation of an adult victim who has suffered a cardiac arrest
Any individuals who have access and are expected to use an Automatic External Defibrillator either at work or recreation. If you have, or are considering, making an AED available to your staff or customers, this is an essential course.
