Key points about AED training

By being trained, individuals can quickly respond to a cardiac arrest situation and begin life-saving measures before professional medical help arrives.

Increased survival rate

Studies show that using an AED in conjunction with CPR can significantly improve the chances of survival for a cardiac arrest victim.

Accessibility

AEDs are becoming increasingly available in public places, making it important for a wider population to be trained in their use.

Ease of use

Modern AEDs are designed with voice prompts and simple instructions, making them relatively easy to operate even for non-medical professionals.

Confidence building

Training helps individuals feel more confident in their ability to act during an emergency, potentially overcoming hesitation to use an AED.
