Yes. Emergency University's CPR & AED medical training programs are accredited by the American Safety and Health Institute, and recognized nationwide.

Many OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and state agencies are requiring first aid, CPR or AED training for specific occupations. Anyone transporting hazardous materials, workers that enter a confined space, construction workers, captains on vessels for hire, some schoolteachers and athletic coaches and day care employees are just a few examples. OSHA mandates some specific industries to train up to 20% of their employees in CPR and First Aid.

It is recommended that CPR/AED training be offered frequently enough, usually at least annually, to keep a core group of personnel in the facility trained and appropriately credentialed.

Under Senate Bill 198, OSHA mandates that companies have a written safety policy. To maintain compliance employers are required to have quarterly safety meetings. A First Aid, CPR or AED course meets the quarterly training requirement. OSHA rarely conducts "on the spot" inspections. However, once there is an injury in the workplace the OSHA investigators will be on the premises to investigate their safety records. The investigative process begins the minute rescue personnel arrive at the site.

CPR should be performed until the AED is available and in place. Most devices will prompt the user to stop CPR while it analyzes the rhythm. When the device prepares to shock the patient, no person should be touching the patient. CPR should be continued if no shock is advised or if the shock in unsuccessful.

While CPR is a lifesaving skill, it should be performed initially only to "buy time" until the AED arrives. Defibrillation is the single most important treatment for a victim in cardiac arrest and therefore, delaying the application of the AED should be avoided. The AED will then prompt you when to resume CPR. Keep in mind that CPR provides some circulation of oxygen-rich blood to the victim's heart and brain which can increase defibrillation success rates. No.

Training is conducted through the The Irish Heart Foundation network of over 120 affiliated training sites situated throughout Ireland.

Do CPR only until the AED arrives. Apply the electrodes to the patient's bare chest and follow the voice prompts and messages of the AED. It will tell you when to resume CPR. CPR is a holding action until the heart is defibrillated.

Because early defibrillation is so important to the chain of survival, AEDs are becoming more common. The recommended AED component gives participants practical experience in AED use. Your instructor will decide if this training will be included in your course.

American Red Cross courses combine CPR training with instruction in automated external defibrillation; the two skills needed to save the life of a sudden cardiac arrest victim. Currently, AED training is an integral part of our Adult CPR/AED and Standard First Aid courses.

Training is necessary in order to understand the role of defibrillation in the broader context of the cardiac chain of survival. Training in CPR and AED skills will enable the rescuer to use all the steps in the cardiac chain of survival, thereby significantly increasing the victim's chance of survival. All 50 states now have AED Good Samaritan provisions that help protect laypersons.
