AED emergency response drills are very effective and make the potential rescuers confident of using AED equipment when need be. By knowing the AED emergency response drill, you can help a victim of sudden cardiac arrest before the emergency medical services (EMS) personnel arrive.
American Red Cross has designed CPR and AED programs to instill confidence and spread awareness amongst the general population. Apart from the programs for professional rescuers, there are programs which will prepare you for delivering CPR or defibrillation if anybody is victimized by sudden cardiac arrest in your family or community.
There are courses which prepare you to help SCA victims in your workplace and schools.
AED practice drills should include staff members in case of organizations and students and teachers in case of school and other people who can help the victim. The drills involve simulating the emergency situation of a cardiac arrest victim using manikins. Various scenarios must be used for practice drills for effective training.
