CCFL now has an AED! The AED is located on 10th floor, between the elevator doors and the north stairway exit, near the front desk.
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electricity which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm. With simple audio and visual commands, AEDs are designed to be simple to use for the layperson.
Cardiac arrest is when a person’s heart suddenly stops beating. Unless treated within minutes, the person usually dies because blood is no longer being pumped to the brain and other parts of the body. Quickly shocking the heart with an automated external defibrillator (AED) can save a person’s life after cardiac arrest.
If you attended the April retreat, guests Adam and Suzanne demonstrated how to use an AED and provided a hands-on opportunity to practice with it. If you were not able to attend the retreat, our AED includes advanced “Life Guidance” features to help guide the treatment of sudden cardiac arrest and will verbally guide you through the AED and CPR process.
