About the size of a laptop computer, an AED is a computerized device that
analyzes the heart rhythm and prompts a rescuer to deliver an electrical shock
if needed. When AEDs are used in conjunction with CPR, they can increase
survival rates between 50 and 80 percent.
FOH provides a comprehensive AED program that includes employee AED
training and the required medical oversight, as a physician’s
prescription is needed in order to purchase most AEDs.
FOH’s package of AED services ensure that:
-
Programs are based upon best practices and current standards
of care.
-
AED responders are appropriately trained and confident in
their skills.
-
Each cardiac event tracing and subsequent response is
reviewed by a qualified physician for quality assurance.
