Laerdal AED Trainer 2

According to the American Heart Association, around 100,000 deaths could be averted by using AEDs and around 57 percent survivors of sudden cardiac arrest live 5 years or longer. Automated External Defibrillators or AEDs are being increasingly used to save victims of sudden heart attacks. During a cardiac arrest, the victim’s heart quits beating unpredictably.

The heart beat becomes chaotic and abnormal that causes heart to quiver and it fails to pump blood effectively. AEDs help in restoring the rapid heart beat to a normal rate by delivering electric shock. AEDs are portable defibrillation devices which are not only compact, light and inexpensive but also easy to use.

This article discusses the features of Laedral AED Trainer 2 that is a perfect AED device to train people to use life saving AEDs. Knowing how to use a defibrillation device can help you in saving a precious life in an emergency situation. This amazing device is excellent for educating and preparing you for helping a victim of sudden cardiac arrest effectively.

Laedral AED Trainer 2 has been designed to educate on how to use HeartStart FR2 AED effectively. It comes packed with a variety of features to make a person adept in handling the HeartStart FR2 AED. To ensure safety, this AED trainer is not capable of delivering a high voltage shock; it only provides simulated shock delivery unlike an actual defibrillator.

This defibrillator training device has 10 sudden cardiac arrest scenarios to give the responder actual feel of the emergency situations. Laedral AED Trainer 2 comes with an optional remote control that allows you to select scenarios manually, decrease or increase the volume of AED Trainer, and it also indicates if the battery is low or needs to be replaced, or if there are any loose electrodes, etc. It also facilitates the training by allowing a trainer to control the scenario selection by using the remote control.

Practicing proper pad placement is beneficial for the trainees as they can train in complex scenarios only if they learn proper pad placement in that particular scenario. To lend this amazing trainer a more realistic touch, even its battery pack is like that of HeartStart FR2 AED’s battery back.
