CPR + AED Training (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation + Automatic External Defibrillator Training) are a necessity for the workplace. Together, CPR+AED Training equips your employees with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to respond to and manage a sudden cardiac arrest emergency in the first few minutes until emergency medical services (EMS) arrives.

As the number one cause of death in the United States, more than 500,000 die out of the 1.5 million patients experiencing a cardiac emergency each year. The earlier a person initiates CPR + AED for the victim, the greater the chances for survival. The chances, in fact, are doubled if CPR + AED occurs within the first four minutes.

How does an Automatic External Defibrillator work? An AED automatically senses the heart’s rhythm of a victim without a pulse. If the victim is in ventricular fibrillation (v-fib), the AED shocks the victim’s heart to restore its rhythm to normal. CPR and AED training, taught together, have been shown to greatly increase the survival rates of those who have suffered cardiac arrest. AED units are easy to learn, and can be deployed within a few short minutes of cardiac arrest.

The in-depth, onsite CPR + AED course presented by FASTEX features step-by-step instructions and methods which are easy to remember and follow should the urgent need ever arise in your workplace. What’s more, CPR + AED Training from FASTEX keeps your company in compliance with OSHA requirements that a person or persons are adequately trained to render aid in the absence of an infirmary, hospital or clinic nearby. AED units are available for sale as well, so contact us today to discuss the needs of your workforce. Your call may determine the difference between life and death of one of your employees.

Here’s what one of our class attendees said:

“I just wanted to let you know my thoughts on the CPR class earlier this week. I was a lifeguard for 5 years and had to be certified while holding that position. The class you put together was by far the best CPR class that I’ve ever attended. I felt that the instructor was very informative and had a great method of making sure the information was embedded in our minds. I’m quite confident that I can use the skills I learned and make a difference should something happen. I really think he did a great job and would recommend his services to anyone. Thanks!” Audrey, Baron & Budd, Attorneys at Law
