Assure your management team that AEDs are designed to be safe and intuitive to use in an emergency. The devices provide detailed directions with voice and visual prompts, so rescuers know exactly what to do.

Some AED models are fully automatic and do not require the user to press a button if the AED determines a shock is needed. The AED automatically gives the shock after alerting rescuers to stand clear of the victim. One of our instructors can assist in picking out the best AED option for your facility.

Many people mistakenly believe performing CPR after a sudden cardiac arrest is enough until emergency services arrive on scene. Although CPR helps maintain blood flow to the brain and heart, defibrillation is the only definitive treatment for cardiac arrest and the sooner it begins, the better. Familiarize yourself with facts about sudden cardiac arrest and possible survival:

The American Heart Association (AHA) estimates that more than 450,000 people suffer sudden cardiac arrest every year.

The AHA recommends defibrillation within five minutes of collapse, as early defibrillation provides the best possibility of survival for the victim.

A study of public access defibrillation (PAD) programs showed that communities with volunteers trained in CPR and the use of AEDs had twice as many victims survive compared to communities with volunteers trained only in CPR.

The average response time for EMS arrival is eight to 10 minutes.4 The chance of survival for a victim decreases for each minute that passes after a sudden cardiac attack by as much as 10 percent.5 Using a nearby AED with responders trained in recognizing sudden cardiac arrest, calling 911 and performing CPR is the best assurance that a colleague or workplace visitor experiencing cardiac arrest will receive prompt treatment.

How CPR training can empower you

Learning CPR isn’t just about earning a CPR certification that can be turned into your employer. It’s about having the confidence and capability to respond effectively when a life is on the line. CPR training equips you to make quick, clear decisions in high-pressure situations.

During emergency situations, panic often leads to a freeze response or the bystander effect, where people assume someone else will help or take charge. Formal CPR training prepares you to act, regardless of whether it involves a loved one, a stranger, or a colleague.

CPR and AED training provides an opportunity for hands-on practice, allowing you to experience what it’s like to perform high-quality chest compressions, give rescue breaths, and use an automated external defibrillator (AED).

Effective chest compressions are a key component to CPR as they help to maintain blood circulation to the brain and other vital organs. Hands-on practice allows you to practice correct compression depth and rate for adults, children, and infants. Additionally, many people are hesitant to use an AED out of fear of harming the victim. CPR and AED training helps remove this fear by showing just how simple these lifesaving devices are to use. AEDs are designed to guide you through the process with clear voice prompts and visuals, making them user-friendly even for those without a medical background or training.

Beyond CPR and AED certification, many training courses also include First Aid skills, preparing you to respond to other common medical emergencies like choking, allergic reactions, and severe bleeding. Comprehensive CPR, AED, and First Aid training makes you a more capable, confident responder in any situation at home, at work, and in the community.

The lifesaving impact of CPR
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a vital skill that can mean the difference between life and death. Emergency responders average between 7 to 10 minutes. However, response times can be even longer in rural areas and hard-to-reach locations, such as remote worksites or large public spaces. This makes bystander CPR a critical factor for survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest as it bridges the gap between the onset of a cardiac arrest emergency and the arrival of medical personnel.

Bystander CPR makes an impact by:

Increasing survival rates. Immediate CPR and early defibrillation can more than double the victim’s chance of survival for someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) — one of the leading causes of death in the United States and worldwide.
Buying time for cardiac arrest victims. Early CPR helps to maintain blood flow and oxygen to the brain and other vital organs, buying valuable time until emergency medical services arrive.
Helping to prevent brain damage or brain death. Without oxygen, brain damage occurs within minutes. Therefore, every second counts! Effective chest compressions can help sustain life until professional medical care is available.
The impact of CPR extends far beyond saving a life. It gives people the chance to continue living the lives they love, with all the memories and milestones that come with it. It’s a parent seeing their children grow or a worker being able to return to their job and provide for their family. Learning CPR prepares you to preserve someone’s future.
