An Automated External Defibrillator (or AED) is a lightweight, portable device that
is used to treat Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA).
SCA occurs when the heart malfunctions and stops beating unexpectedly. If not treated
within minutes, SCA quickly leads to death. Anyone can help save a life by learning
how to use an AED.
Watch this video to learn how to operate the AEDs available on campus. Register for an on-campus training session via our Training page.
AED machines are placed in cabinets like the one displayed in the photo. The AED machines on campus can be found by viewing the map of their locations.
