AED Locations on Campus
According to the American Heart Association, an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) “delivers an electric shock through the chest to the heart when it detects an abnormal rhythm and changes the rhythm back to normal.” AEDs are used in emergency situations to help those having sudden cardiac arrest. AEDs are meant to be used in addition to performing CPR and can be used by anyone as they are portable, safe, accurate, and easy to use. The American Heart Association provides more information on AEDs at their website.
