Recently we have seen new laws being passed allowing portable defibrillators or AED machines to be used. Pressure from health advocates and producers of defibrillator machines have allowed for a loosening of the regulations. In the past, external heart defibrillators were only used by paramedics and EMT workers, responding to cardiac arrest emergencies.

External Defibrillators

All the professionals agree that timing, speed and proper training are the keys for using defibrillators effectively. Entities or places that could benefit from AED or external heart machines include:

• Schools
• Health Clubs
• Employers
• Homes
