Cedarville University Heartsaver AED Course
What is an AED?
The automated external defibrillator (AED) is a computerized medical device designed to assist those responding to a heart emergency. An AED can check a person's heart rhythm, recognize a rhythm that requires a shock, and advise the rescuer when a shock is needed. The AED advises the rescuer using voice prompts, lights and text messages. Three AED devices have been installed around campus: in the Fitness Center, the SSC lobby, and in a campus safety vehicle.
