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.

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.
