Automated External Defibrillation (AED) Training
Overview
The chances of successful defibrillation decline at a rate of 7-10% with each minute passed, and although basic life support may help to sustain a shockable rhythm, it is not a definitive treatment.
Defibrillators administer measured electric shocks during CPR to people in cardiac arrest and is the best way of increasing the chance of survival. We offer a half-day course in Automated External Defibrillation (AED) training which conforms to the current Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines.
