There is strong evidence that having AEDs available at work and in public spaces saves lives and can limit an organization’s liability. However, there is no guarantee that employees trained to use AEDs will remember how to use them in a cardiac emergency, so regular training, practice and support must be given to staff to keep skills up to date.
Simply purchasing and installing AEDs is not, however, the end of a life-saving program. There is no guarantee that responders will remember how to use an AED in a cardiac emergency and therefore regular training, practice and support must be given in order to ensure that essential skills are not lost. The implementation of an AED program could ensure that an organization protects its workforce, limits liability and saves lives.
The more practice responders have with given scenarios, the readier they will be to use their skills in earnest in the attempt to save a life.
