COURSE DESCRIPTION
The American Heart Association Heartsaver AED (automated external defibrillator) course was the first in the nation to combine hands-on AED instruction with adult CPR training. The Heartsaver AED course is for individuals who need to learn CPR and how to operate an AED. The intended audience includes corporate employees, security personnel, emergency medical technicians, firefighters, police officers, airline personnel, and those who need or want to learn CPR and operate an AED.

What is an AED?
The automated external defibrillator (AED) is a computerized medical device. An AED can check a person’s heart rhythm. It can recognize a rhythm that requires a shock. And it can advise the rescuer when a shock is needed. The AED uses voice prompts, lights and text messages to tell the rescuer the steps to take.
