Automated external defibrillator (AED) can save lives, including those of our children. An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a lightweight, portable device that delivers an electric shock through the chest to the heart. The shock can potentially stop an irregular heart beat (arrhythmia) and allow a normal rhythm to resume following sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
Where to find AED equipment in FRSD schools:
- Robert Hunter: AED is located right outside of the gym (on the right ). As soon as you open the door 911 will be called.
- RFIS: AEDs are located right outside the gym door next to the large display case, and a second one is in the 300’s by the elevator.
- JP Case: AED is located down the main hallway on the left by the gyms.
