Keith,
Yes, it is important for students to know how to resuscitate
someone if a parent, a friend or a loved one has a life-
threatening emergency. AED training is vital to survival of
adults in cardiac arrest. Many people have died as a result
of people being untrained and/or not having an AED readily
available. I currently teach staff members of schools these
skills, but if more people are trained, more victims of
cardiac arrest can be helped.
