Using an AED for Cardiac Arrest lesson by the CPR Certification Institute (Health Ed Solutions Authorized Training Center). Stephanie Flores, a Certified Physician Assistant and Health Ed Solutions instructor, provides a thorough and stepbystep breakdown on using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) for a single rescuer. She gives an indepth look on how to do the following steps:

✔ Checking Scene Safety/Alert EMS
✔ Using Personal Protective Equipment (gloves, mask with 1 way valve)
✔ Checking Patient Responsiveness
✔ Checking for breathing and brachial pulse simultaneously
✔ Using AED
✔ Performing CPR

Here are other key concepts to remember:

Check your surroundings for combustible gases or liquids when using an AED.
Check patient's clothing for metals/jewelries that might interfere with defibrillation.
Dry off the chest of the patient before applying AED pads.
Remove skin patches if they're in the way of AED pads.
There are no contraindications in using AED pads on a pregnant woman. Saving the mother can also save the baby.

Here is some more information about the CPR Certification Institute:

As a Health Ed Solutions Authorized Training Center, CPR Certification Institute was created to achieve a simple goal — to make learning lifesaving skills convenient and more accessible for both medical professionals and laypersons. Our commitment to providing robust training and testing options is the driving force behind our curriculum. Our courses are medically accurate, flexible, and engaging.

Our online certification courses are created by boardcertified medical professionals and reviewed for accuracy by the Health Ed Solutions Medical Review Board. Each practice test is uniquely generated, and every final exam is designed to ensure you have learned all of the skills to react when there is a lifethreatening emergency.

We believe that the more people who know lifesaving skills, the more lives that can be saved. Our courses are created to benefit a wide range of people: high school students getting ready to graduate, nurses, physicians, medical techs, first responders, lifeguards, nursing home and daycare workers, and even the average layperson who might someday find themselves in the position of being able to offer aid during an emergency.

Being able to administer appropriate CPR or First Aid care can mean the difference between life and death. Those who do not receive CPR immediately following a cardiac event rarely make it to a hospital alive. Your quick action could mean they have a greater chance of surviving.

Our courses cover CPR and AED training, First Aid, Infant CPR, Babysitting, and Bloodborne Pathogens. We also offer the more advanced ACLS, PALS, BLS, and NRP certifications. It’s a small time and cost commitment to become certified, but it can make a huge difference in someone’s life. All of our certifications are 100% online and available from any mobile device or computer.

Sign up to become certified today, and join the ranks of trained lifesavers across the globe!
