AED (Automatisch externe Defibrillation)

In the event of an acute cardiac emergency with cardiac arrest, reanimation measures must be initiated immediately. In this course participants will learn to use the layman's defibrillator (AED) in connection with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (BLS) while awaiting the arrival of professional emergency assistance.
The most frequent cause of cardiac arrest is cardiac arrhythmia. The sooner the first responder begins with defibrillation, the greater the chance of successful reanimation.

  • Refresher on the cardiovascular system
  • Advanced knowledge on the electrical conduction system
  • Recognizing the main types of arrhythmia
  • Practical, safe BLS training with early defibrillation 
  • Various sample cases enabling use of the AED
