Automated External Defibrillators

AEDs or Automated External Defibrillators are devices used in conjunction with CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) to keep a person who is having a heart attack alive until advanced medical care is available. These are not stand alone devices. They will prompt the user to do CPR when a shock is not required. Both CPR and the AED are needed to give the victim of a heart attack the best chance of survival.

To be prepared to use an AED and to help a person having a heart attack, the rescuer needs instruction in CPR and AED use. This instruction is available free of charge, on a regular monthly basis, through the Department of Environmental Health & Safety.
