DAN Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Provider Course
| Overview
Cardiovascular disease, including heart disease, vascular disease and stroke, is a major cause of death in developed countries. A severe heart attack often results in cardiac arrest. In this case, the heart usually beats very erratically and cannot generate circulation of blood to the body. If a normal heartbeat is not restored within a few minutes, the victim will die. Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are designed to diagnose cardiac arrest and, when appropriate, to deliver an electric shock to try to restore a normal heart rhythm. Hence, this AED Provider program is designed to provide step-by-step training to participants on the use of AEDs, along with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), in the event of cardiac arrest. |
