1 I I CUMBERLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS THE CUMBERLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS CH Page 1 of8 I PURPOSE STATEMENT: To provide guidance in the management and administration of a workplace AED program for The Cumberland Public Schools. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a condition that occurs when the electrical impulses of the human heart malfunction causing disturbance in the heart's electrical rhythm called ventricular fibrillation (VF). This erratic and ineffective electrical heart rhythm causes complete cessation of the heart's normal function of pumping blood resulting in sudden death. The most effective treatment for this condition is the administration of an electrical current to the heart by a defibrillator delivered within a short time of the onset of VF. An AED is used to treat victims who experience SCA. It is only to be applied to victims, who are unconscious, without pulse, signs of circulation and normal breathing. The AED will analyze the heart rhythm and advise the operator if a shockable rhythm is detected, the ABD will charge to the appropriate energy level and advise the operator to deliver a shock. An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) must be placed in a publically accessible area within each school building and Wellness Center. All AEDs must be properly maintained. Accordingly, The Cumberland Public Schools, has adopted this policy to assist trained lay rescuers to be better prepared in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest situation. SYSTEM OWNER: The Cumberland Public Schools.
