Philips AED

There are thousands of Philips AED machines out in the world. They are used in hospitals, schools, malls, airports, And they are used by regular people, every single day. Automatic external defibrillator machines are designed to be used by people with a minimum of medical training and experience. Not that you shouldn’t be trained at all. It is safest for people who have been trained to use the specific machines. That generally takes one short course, or even one short DVD. The American Heart Association has a big campaign now to spread AED awareness, and as a result, they offer classes across the country. The AED courses are combined with the CPR courses, because in the case of sudden cardiac arrest, the AED won’t be enough to save people on its own. And CPR isn’t enough to save people, either. It must be a combination of AED and CPR. A number of the people who die from sudden cardiac arrest die because they were not treated in time. Arrhythmia, which leads to sudden cardiac arrest, needs to be corrected immediately, or the rhythm will turn lethal, and the heart will stop. Often times, even though an emergency phone call has been made, the responders can not respond quickly enough to save the life. That is why it is so very important to have machines like the Philips model on hand at all times.
