Over 15% of sudden cardiac arrest events take place outside a hospital. Access to automated external defibrillators can mean the difference between life and death for each and every one of those people. In fact, as many as 90% of sudden cardiac arrest victims survive if a bystander uses an AED to deliver a shock within one minute. That incredible statistic is why first aid, CPR, and AED training should be available to everyone.
First aid training is most effective when instructors can use realistic equipment to teach life-saving principles. Today, high-tech resources like CPR manikins and AED trainers are available to provide a realistic experience to learners. For first responders in training, the manikins, defibrillators, and first aid kits used in their courses are lifelike so they can learn how to perform emergency care without risk.
At Medshop, we know how important it is for training devices to be functional, realistic, and accessible. We carry AED trainers and training pads (including child pads) so that our customers can get the practical experience needed to save lives.
Aside from delivering electrical shocks, AED trainers do everything that real defibrillators can do, including giving feedback on compressions. These devices teach users how to properly place electrodes, how to install replacement pads, and what adjustments need to be made for pediatric patients. AED trainers are compatible with CPR manikins so your first aid training can include every step of the resuscitation process.
Which AED Trainer is Right for You?
Most AED manufacturers also offer a training unit that mimics the real thing, allowing users to learn exactly how to use the device without the risk of delivering an unnecessary shock. Medshop carries trainers from HeartSine and Lifepak. Some of these devices come equipped with a remote control so the instructor can trigger certain prompts on the AED during a training session.
Choosing the right device for your AED training comes down to finding out what brand and type of defibrillator you or your students are most likely to encounter. If you work in an organization that uses the Lifepak CR2 defibrillator, then we recommend stocking the Lifepak CR2 Trainer Defibrillator, which provides students with a realistic experience of using this model. Given the popularity of HeartSine defibrillators, the HeartSine Samaritan 360P PAD Trainer is another excellent training option.
No matter which AED trainer you choose, our customer service team is here to make sure you are satisfied with your purchase. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly via our live chat function, or by contacting us here for an email response.
