Why AEDs are Essential for Athletic Trainers: 

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death in athletes in the United States. 

Quick response is crucial; each minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by 7-10%.

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) in the hands of a trained athletic trainer can increase the survival rate significantly and have a broader impact beyond the immediate emergency response:

• Enhancing Safety Standards in Sports: The availability of AEDs sets a high standard for athlete safety, ensuring that teams, schools, and sports facilities are better prepared for cardiac emergencies.
• Increasing Confidence among Athletes and Parents: Knowing that there is a trained professional with access to lifesaving equipment can provide peace of mind to athletes and their families.
• Educational Value: Athletic Trainers with AEDs can also serve as educators, raising awareness about SCA and promoting emergency preparedness among athletes, coaches, and staff.

An AED is designed to be simple, guiding you through the process with voice and visual prompts. The AED analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, delivers a shock to restore normal rhythm. Contrary to popular belief, these devices cannot be used against you. AEDs are designed to only deliver a shock if it's needed. 

When selecting an AED, consider ease of use, maintenance requirements, and durability. Look for features like clear voice instructions, a robust design for outdoor use, and minimal maintenance needs. Allow our experts to help you find the AED that is right for you!
