DAN training in the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)

Heart attack is a very common cause of death. A severe heart attack often results in cardiac arrest. In this case, the heart usually beats very erratically and cannot generate circulation of blood to the body. If a normal heartbeat is not restored within a few minutes, the victim will die.

Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are designed to diagnose cardiac arrest and, when appropriate, to deliver an electric shock to try to restore a normal heart rhythm. They can be used by people with minimal training.

DAN SEAP has introduced a 4-hour program to train laypersons in the use of AEDs. This is not just an orientation but a thorough and responsible certification program. The pre-requisite is a CPR certification. If this is required, it can also be done as an additional module prior to the AED course
