April is upon us and spring is in the air. Spring is nature’s way of saying “out with the old, in with the new!” We’ve all participated in spring cleaning. We’ve been sealed in our abodes for the duration of winter and now it’s time to let the old air out and the new air in. Open the doors and windows and take a deep, cleansing breath. It is also time to open the cabinet door or the carry case of your AED. Is the status indicator showing you are ready for a rescue situation? How are the expiration dates …
Are you a CPR instructor, a safety manager/consultant, or have you just purchased an automated external defibrillator (AED) and want to learn how to use it?

Let’s say you purchased an AED for your facility. You’ve researched which AED best suits your needs, you made the purchase, received your shipment and have it all set up and ready for use in an emergency. Big question: Are you compliant? Have you looked into your state and local laws and/or regulations regarding AED ownership? Were you aware that these exist? How do you go about getting all of this information?

The current 2010 AHA CPR Guidelines Hands-Only CPR has been considered equally effective as the older chest compressions with breaths method, while being less intimidating to potential rescuers by removing the mouth-to-mouth or mask-to mouth technique. Studies conducted by the American Journal of Medicine and the British journal Lancet show better survival rates when chest compressions are administered while waiting for paramedics to arrive. Chest compressions can be physically taxing, even for professional rescuers, and it may be difficult for lay-rescuers to be certain they are using the proper technique. This is where CPR RsQ Assist can help. It not …

“So, if I get an AED and I have to use it, but the person I used it on doesn’t make it, will I get sued?” Often, we hear comments like this from potential AED owners. The fear of litigation can be a hindrance to possessing a life-saving AED, and actually having to use it. All states have laws and/or regulations regarding AED ownership and use. Those laws vary greatly from state to state. In reality, some states have certain requirements that have to be met in order to qualify for Good Samaritan protection under those laws. Also, it seems these statutes undergo changes often …
