Checklist: AED Programs

Automated external defibrillators (AED) can increase the survival rate of people suffering cardiac arrest at your K-12 school, college, or university. Administrators who are responsible for establishing and overseeing a campus AED program should use this checklist when planning a new program or conducting periodic reviews of an existing program.

Topics addressed in the checklist include:

• Program management
• AED selection and placement
• AED maintenance and support
• Selection and training of personnel
• AED use
• Post-incident follow-up
