Adult First Aid/CPR/AED

Performing CPR on adults is imperative for their survival in a situation where they are experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) or are unconscious due to other reasons. Using a two-hand technique the bystander can give CPR in addition to giving two breaths. This should be repeated until an AED can be used.

The average ambulance arrives in eight minutes so if an AED is nearby prior to their arrival, it should be used to give the victim the best opportunity to survive. Recommended adult AEDs include the Philips HeartStart OnSite AED and the HeartSine Samaritan PAD AED. The Philips AED is semi-automatic and includes audio cues. The HeartSine AED is both semi-automatic and automatic and offers both visual and audio cues. These AEDs each include adult pads to be used prior to delivering the shock.
