Other Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)

Will participating in this training help me become competent?

A: In a nutshell, no. Complete competency cannot be attained with classroom-based training; be very wary of anyone who claims otherwise. The goal of our in-class assessments is to reduce the knowledge gap that exists between classroom learning and preparedness for the job.

We’ll see to it that you have access to the relevant competency proformas and workbooks, which you need to fill out and return in compliance with your workplace’s local policies.

Q: Who will conduct the training?

A: With our experienced clinical tutors. These professionals, who are either doctors or nurses with a plethora of clinical and advanced care expertise and education, will take great care of you! We will let you know in advance who the trainer is. Visit our Meet the Team page to learn more about them and to see their credentials and experience.

Q: What equipment will you use for training?

A wide range of training tools and equipment are at our disposal. The instruction will be applicable and versatile. However, please specify throughout the booking process if you have a specific need for a certain kind of equipment, and the crew will make sure it’s delivered.

As an alternative, we can train using your personal equipment.

1. What is automated external defibrillator (AED) certification?

Your ability to operate an automated external defibrillator (AED) in a cardiac emergency safely and successfully is demonstrated by your certification as an AED user. It guarantees that the trained individual has the abilities and know-how required to use an AED properly in life-threatening circumstances.

2. Is an automated external defibrillator the same as CPR?

No, CPR uses chest compressions to keep blood flowing, but an AED uses electric shocks to help restore normal cardiac rhythm. Together, they function optimally.

AED

An AED is a device that shocks a person’s heart with electricity if their breathing and heartbeat have stopped. The heart may beat anew with the assistance of this shock.

CPR

When the heart stops pumping, CPR is a first aid method that keeps oxygen and blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs. Rescue breathing and chest compressions are part of it.

In an emergency, AEDs and CPR are frequently combined to save lives.

3. Can anyone use an automated external defibrillator (AED) without training?

It is not advised. Proper training ensures you use an AED safely, confidently, and effectively in an emergency. Untrained use risks harm.

AED Training helps people learn how to use AEDs correctly and respond effectively in high-stress situations. However, sometimes untrained people may need to use AEDs under the guidance of emergency services.

4. How long is a defibrillator course?

AED courses typically last around 2-3 hours including theory and practical skills training. Refresher courses may be shorter. Generally, the length of an AED course depends on the program and what level of training you want. Basic training courses usually last a few hours, while advanced courses can last several days.

5. Do you need to be qualified to use an AED?

Yes, using an AED in public spaces legally requires AED training or certification. Training teaches proper protocols.

Being certified means you have been trained to use an AED correctly and can make a life-saving difference in a cardiac emergency.

6. Can anyone use an automated external defibrillator?

With appropriate AED training, anyone can learn to use the AED safely. Training will help you feel confident and know what to do in a cardiac emergency. This could save a life.

7. How much does an AED training cost?

The cost of AED training varies depending on where you do it and what level of training you need. Caring for Care has a competitive training price in the UK. Please discuss your training AED & CPR needs with our training. You can call or send us an email.

8. How long does CPR certification last?

CPR certification typically remains valid for one year before requiring a refresher course to stay up-to-date on the latest protocols.

9. What comes first AED or CPR?

For sudden cardiac arrest, deliver CPR first until you power on the AED and it is ready to administer a shock.

If someone has a cardiac arrest, start CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) first. This involves chest compressions and rescue breaths, which help to keep blood and oxygen flowing to the brain and other important organs.

Once you have started CPR, use an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) if one is available. An AED is a machine that can give an electric shock to the heart to help it start beating again.

10. Is AED training the same as CPR?

No, AED and CPR training may be combined but AED focuses specifically on using defibrillator devices.

11. Can anyone who has received CPR and AED training use an AED?

Yes, completing training enables you to legally and safely use an AED in an emergency.

12. Can you do CPR and AED together?

Yes, you should do CPR and use an AED together if someone has a cardiac arrest. CPR helps to keep blood and oxygen flowing to the brain and other important organs, while the AED can help to start the heart beating again. This gives the person the best chance of survival.

13. What does AED stand for in CPR training?

AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator. It is a machine that can give an electric shock to the heart of someone who has stopped breathing and their heart has stopped beating. This shock can help to start the heart beating again.

AEDs are important in emergency response and are often used with CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). It’s commonly covered along with CPR in first aid training.
