Outline of Automated External Defibrillator course
Electrical Defibrillation is well established as the effective therapy for cardiac arrest. The most important determinant of survival being the time from collapse to delivery of the first shock.
Today the widespread deployment of Automated External Defibrillators (AED's) is considered a realistic strategy for reducing mortality due to heart disease.
Following the current Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines, Adventure First Aid has developed an Automated External Defibrillators course for those organisations who wish to provide AED cover in their establishment or on their expedition.
