Why should people who are responsible for operating an AED receive CPR training?
Early CPR is an essential part of providing aid to a person suffering from a sudden cardiac arrest. CPR helps to circulate oxygen-rich blood to the brain. After the AED is connected and administers a shock, most AEDs will advise the user to continue CPR while the AED proceeds to analyze the victim’s heart rhythm.
