AEDs
Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are used to revive someone from sudden cardiac arrest. This usually occurs when a disruption in the heart’s electrical activity causes a dangerously fast heartbeat or a fast and irregular heartbeat.
The AEDs are conveniently located inside each building entrance (155, 175 & 165 - Amenities Building), are very easy to use, and are available to anyone in an emergency situation. Important: We ask that everyone take about 30 minutes to familiarize themselves with the AEDs and online training: 1. Visit each building entrance and know where the device is located (knowing this is vital). Large signs help to identify the unit. The units are inside an unlocked, alarmed cabinet. 2. Review the 4 minute video below on the use of the Philips HeartStart AED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFzGTbfvVU0 3. Review this FAQ from Alberta Health Services https://secure.heart-safe.ca/theme/common/page.cfm?i=10624 While training in CPR is not necessary to use an AED (the AED will verbally instruct you), knowing CPR is an essential skill and anyone can be trained. Here is a 2:49 minute video on CPR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eRwgM2Pa4o |
