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 above.
Our AED locations are marked in the PulsePoint AED Registry mobile app. Download the
free app and it will give you guidance on where to find the AEDs available near your
location. You can filter by AEDs that also have a bleeding kit or naloxone included
in their cabinet.
You can also use the interactive map below to view AEDs at UNT and other locations
in the Denton County (Texas) region.
