The Importance Of Having AEDs In College Housing
Why aren't AEDs utilized more often?
The Automatic External Defibrillator, or AED, is a small, portable machine that can quickly analyze the condition of the heart and deliver a quick shock to re-start a heartbeat in people who have experienced a sudden collapse. They were designed to be easy to use, even for average people.
These devices are known to save lives, but many people are unfamiliar with the technology or otherwise have fears about using it in emergency situations.

National CPR/AED Awareness Week - June 1-7
It’s no secret that we believe in spreading awareness of the importance of AEDs here at AEDs Today. This isn’t just our business. It’s something we believe in.
But AEDs aren’t the only things that are needed to save a person’s life if they are stricken with sudden cardiac arrest. Even when an AED is present, it’s still very important that CPR be performed.
That’s the driving force behind National CPR/AED Awareness Week, which runs from June 1-7.
