Is CPR and AED certification the same?
CPR stands for “cardiopulmonary resuscitation”, which is a lifesaving method used when a person’s heart has stopped. AED refers to “automated external defibrillator” which is a machine that will restart the heart when it stops. AEDs are available in most public areas for anyone to use during a cardiac arrest.
How long does it take to get AED certified?
A CPR AED course is about 3 hours long. It can run shorter if everyone is renewing their card or if it is a small group. Since I teach both AHA and ASHI I find the full course is about 2.5-3 hours long. Renewal courses that I offer through the ASHI program can be as short as 2 hours.
Should you do CPR or AED first?
Always call 911 first before administering CPR or using an AED. Timing of the use of an AED first depends on how accessible an AED is. If an AED is immediately accessible, get the AED and use it right away. However, in all likelihood, there will not be an AED close enough and CPR should be started first.
