Nursing project educates campus on AED device
As part of a nursing research project on campus, students are educating the university community about the automated external defibrillator (AED), a computerized medical device that checks a person’s heart rhythm and recognizes a rhythm that requires a shock. It also gives the rescuer the steps that need to be taken to save a life. The device should be used any time a person collapses and is not moving or breathing and has no heartbeat.
George Fox has one AED. It is located in the trainers’ room and can be accessed by any trainer.
