Defibrillator Training Course
This Defibrillator Training Course shows the student how to use an AED (Automated External Defibrillators). AEDs are becoming more and more available, and can be crucial in saving someone's life. This device can be used to administer measured electric shocks to people in the throes of cardiac arrest and is the best way of increasing the chance of survival. This Defibrillator Training course is a half day course and skills should be refreshed every 3 months.
"The British Heart Foundation tells us that over 270,000 people in the UK suffer a heart attack each year (that's one heart attack every two minutes)" St Johns Ambulance 2004
This First Aid Training Course covers:
- Heart conditions
- Resuscitation
- CPR protocols
- Use of AED
"Over 150,000 people die from cardiac arrests in the UK each year. The majority might be saved if only their heart could be defibrillated (shocked back into rhythm) within five minutes. An Automated External Defibrillator - with a trained operator - at the site of a sudden cardiac arrest can raise the chance of survival from 5% to 80%" St Johns Ambulance 2004
