When to use AED
The AED will be brought to all medical emergencies.
The AED should be used on any person who displays any of the symptoms of cardiac arrest (unresponsive, absent breathing or not normal breathing).
The AED will be used only after the following symptoms are confirmed:
- Victim is unresponsive or appears unresponsive.
- Victim is not breathing or is not breathing normally.
- Pulse checks have been removed and should not be performed.
AED Responders (Trained Security and/or Lay Rescuer)
- Call 911 and obtain the closest AED while someone begins hands-only CPR (chest compressions at 100 per minute, without ventilations). Do not delay calling 911 or obtaining the AED to deliver CPR.
- Once the AED arrives, power the device on and follow voice prompts. At this time, the AED becomes the team leader.
- Understand and comply with the requirements of this program.
- Minnesota Good Samaritan laws protect all volunteer rescuers under implied consent.
Volunteer Responder Responsibilities
Anyone can provide voluntary assistance to victims of a medical emergency. The extent to which individuals respond should be appropriate to their comfort and training level. The American Heart Association stated in 2010 that, at a minimum, any person should attempt to use an AED and deliver hands-only CPR, whether the rescuer has been trained or not.
