AED Awareness Workshop  
Wednesday,  October 26
10:00-10:45 a.m.
Kirby Student Center - Garden Room

 The use of automated external defibrillator or AED has saved lives. It is used to get a normal rhythm from someone with a heart rhythm that stopped. Experience with AEDs have shown that each minute of delay getting an AED to the side of a sudden death victim decreases the chance of survival by approximately 10%. The American Heart Association estimates that "public access to defibrillation" could save 100,000 of the 350,000 people who suffer sudden heart failure each year. In this training, the use of AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) will be demonstrated and the First Response Procedures for a medical emergency will be discussed.

Funded in part by UMD Vice Chancellor for Finance and Operations and a grant from University of Minnesota Office of Risk Management and Insurance.
