We do not schedule classes in advance. Day classes typically begin every 8 weeks and evening classes every 12 weeks. Students will be invited to register for a class of their choice as classes are formed. You will be notified of registration dates two weeks prior to the start of class.
Home Use of Automatic External Defibrillators to Treat Sudden Cardiac Arrest (HAT) This study has been completed. To compare home use of an automatic external defibrillator (AED) to the use of local emergency medical system in treating survivors of sudden cardiac arrest.
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators are powered by batteries. The variety used has been chosen because of its long service period and the very predictable way in which its power is gradually used. If an ICD delivers a great many shocks, it will wear out sooner than one that seldom provides therapy.
