AED

Today, an AED is being used by all kinds of EMT's on Ambulances everywhere. They are being used more and more in places where many people gather as they are very much a life saving device. The Red Cross will give training in their use. Check out this website for a great deal of information on their use.

I have heard of them being put in schools as it isn't so uncommon anymore for a student in sports having a heart problem. Many lives have been saved because of them. Many pacemakers and being made up with AED's in them also. I think it is a good idea for for professionals and the public to be made aware of their use and life saving benefits.
