Addressing The AED Information Gap

In today's episode, we talk with Elliot Fisch, the founder of the National AED Registry about filling the information gap between AEDs in the field and 911 operators. Elliott is the director of Zoll’s En-Pro division and management PlusTrac and AEDLink. Services like AEDLink, PlusTrak, PulsePoint and the National AED Registry fill that information gap for first responders. By registering your devices, you can assure first responders and 911 operators that your device is ready for its lifesaving mission.

We can improve the survivor rate. With October as SCA Awareness Month is a great time to check your AED batteries and supplies.

 Listener takeaways:

• The importance of registries and keeping your AEDs up to date
• How registries help 911 operators with up to date information
• How publicly available AEDs are set up to be easy to use in a crisis event
• How AEDs and CPR are critical in the chain of survival
• Things bystanders should be aware of and how they can save a life
