The American Heart Association is continuously working diligently to bring CPR training to high schools. They’ve been very successful within recent years, as they boast 1,000,000 graduates will know how to administer CPR by the time they leave school each school year. 

Automated external defibrillators are life-saving pieces of equipment that allow almost anyone to quickly and easily save lives. 

That said, even though an AED is excellent at determining when it should and should not administer a shock, there are some situations where an AED shouldn't be applied to begin with.

As automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) become more widely recognized for their lifesaving abilities, public education, awareness, and fundraising campaigns are becoming more widespread as well. 

Many of these are using unique and clever means to achieve their goals and get the message across that an AED can make an enormous difference for someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.
