The Heartsaver AED (Automated External Defibrillator) with Pediatric CPR course teaches the basic techniques of adult and pediatric CPR and use of an AED. Students also learn to use barrier devices in CPR and give first aid for choking to responsive adult, child, and infant victims. Heartsaver® CPR AED is a classroom, video-based, instructor-led course that teaches adult CPR and AED use, as well as how to relieve choking on an adult. This course teaches skills with AHA’s research-proven Practice-While-Watching (PWW) technique, which allows instructors to observe the students, provide feedback and guide the students’ learning of skills. The course teaches how to recognize the signs of four major emergencies: heart attack, stroke, cardiac arrest, and choking.
