AED (Automated External Defibrillator) Provider Course
Gerard V. Pandolfo, Atlantic Highlands First-Aid Squad, demonstrates the all clear signal with Kim Forbes, BCH instructor, during an AED instructor class.
Early defibrillation is part of the American Heart Association's focus on the chain of survival, particularly in the initial links, which include:

• Knowing the signs of sudden cardiac arrest in order to recognize a medical emergency when it occurs
• Calling 9-1-1 to immediately access the emergency medical system
• Administering CPR, because this can help keep the cardiac arrest victim alive until emergency help arrives
• Early defibrillation, or the delivery of an electrical shock to the heart within the first few minutes after cardiac arrest
• Bayshore's Community Training Center, an AHA training center, offers the AED Provider Course for first responders and lay rescuers (community members).

For information, fees or to register, please call (732) 888-5249 or e-mail us. Please make sure to specify the time, date and name of course!
