A too fast, or chaotic heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, respectively) can both lead to cardiac arrest<\/a>. Off-screen, using an external defibrillator is rarely accompanied by a musical score \u2013 and it is often not even in a hospital setting.\u00a0Initiating immediate treatment before the arrival of EMT<\/a> professionals\u00a0can be the difference between life and death. Our classes teach you how and what to do.<\/p>\n The fact is you don\u2019t need Hollywood magic or a medical degree to save a life: you just need a little training and the right equipment, an automatic external defibrillator<\/a> (AED). These portable, electronic devices not only diagnose someones heart rhythm, they determine if an\u00a0electric current is needed\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0they administer it! The machine walks the user through the process step by simple step with electronic voice or visual prompts. Couple that with proper cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR<\/a>) training and you are now someone who can save a life.<\/p>\n For more information on this topic, and our class schedules, please visit our\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0contact us<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cClear!\u201d You\u2019ve watched enough medical dramas in your life to understand that the use of that word in an emergency setting almost always heralds the use of electricity-generating, life-saving equipment. …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3937,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56,146,160,58],"tags":[68,69,90,76,55,57,97,111,183],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3934"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3934"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3934\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4912,"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3934\/revisions\/4912"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Related articles<\/h6>\n
