AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR (AED)
What is an AED?
An Automated External Defibrillator
is an instrument used to stop irregular heart rhythm, allowing the
natural pace maker to restore a normal heart beat.
Due to numerous factors, including geographic or resource
limitations, the average response times for EMS personnel can exceed
the window of opportunity in which a person may be effectively
resuscitated. For every one minute delay in providing the required
emergency procedure of cardiac defibrillation (stimulating the heart
with electric shock), the victim has a ten percent lower likelihood
of survival. The great news is that you and/or your staff can be
safely and easily trained to provide this life saving procedure.
Our AED Training program meets the guidelines of the Heart and
Stroke Foundation of Ontario and has been reviewed and approved by
Dr. David Austin, a fully certified specialist in emergency
medicine and the chief of the Department of Emergency Medicine at
Markham Stouffville Hospital.
All AED Training programs will be taught by current and qualified
Instructors or Faculties in Emergency Cardiac Care with
the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario.
We will provide all the necessary training, equipment, and resources
needed to institute a successful Public Access Defibrillation
Program within your workplace. We will also provide 24-hour access
to an AED program director to follow up on a rescue attempt for all
AED equipped sites.
We are pleased to be affiliated with Zoll Medical Corporation to
provide you with a superb unit, the Zoll AED Plus.
