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.
The procedure involves the delivery of an electric shock to the heart which causes depolarisation of the heart muscles and re-establishes normal conduction of the heartâs electrical impulse. The machine used to deliver this therapeutic shock to the heart is called a defibrillator.The different types of defibrillators used include external defibrillators, transvenous defibrillators and implanted defibrillators.Defibrillation was first presented by Prevost and Batelli, two physiologists from University of Geneva, Switzerland in 1899.he procedure involves the delivery of an electric shock to the heart which causes depolarisation of the heart muscles and re-establishes normal conduction of the heartâs electrical impulse. The machine used to deliver this therapeutic shock to the heart is called a defibrillator.
