What Is an AED?
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable, user-friendly device designed to treat people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). It analyzes the heart’s rhythm and delivers an electrical shock, if necessary, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.
You’ve likely seen AEDs mounted on walls in airports, gyms, schools, and office buildings — but do you realize just how powerful they are?
AEDs Save Lives — Fast
When someone experiences cardiac arrest, every second counts. According to the American Heart Association:
💥 Survival rates can be as high as 90% when an AED shock is delivered within the first minute of collapse.
Unfortunately, most bystanders don’t use AEDs because they’re unfamiliar with how they work. That’s where CPR and AED training becomes essential.
Why You Should Get Trained
Even if you’re not a medical professional, you can save a life. AEDs are designed for everyday people with no prior medical knowledge. When combined with CPR, the use of an AED can double or even triple survival rates.
Our CPR AED and First Aid courses at Florida Health Science Consulting teach you:
- How to recognize sudden cardiac arrest
- When and how to safely use an AED
- Hands-on practice with real training equipment
- Confidence to act in an emergency
AEDs Are Everywhere — But Are You Prepared?
It’s one thing to walk by an AED. It’s another to know exactly what to do when someone collapses in front of you.
Don’t wait until an emergency happens — be ready.
