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.

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.

The investigative process begins the minute rescue personnel arrive at the site.

The one book easiest to recommend is Lidie and Walsh's Mastering Perl/Tk, published in February 2002.
