The AED Superstore proudly announces nationwide CPR/AED and First Aid Training designed to fit your schedule and your budget! Courses are being offered through the Emergency Care and Safety Institute (ECSI), a nationally and internationally recognized organization. ECSI's goal is to provide the highest quality training available to laypersons and professionals at the lowest possible prices.
ECSI offers a variety of training courses, including CPR, AED, First Aid, Bloodborne Pathogens, Oxygen Administration, and related health and safety areas. In addition, training to address your personal or staff needs is available upon request. ECSI's training materials have been approved by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP).
Need flexibility? There are three types of training offered: Classroom instruction, online study, or a blend of both. Classroom instruction is taught by accredited EMS professionals who want you to succeed. Classes include textbooks and skills testing for certification. Online study allows for learning at your own pace and on your own schedule. The online course provides the technical information required for eventual certification, or can be used as a refresher for those who have previously attended training. Blended courses begin with the independent online portion followed by the hands-on classroom and skills testing for final certification. Each course includes approved medical content (textbooks or online course content), user-friendly learning materials, skills testing and course completion certificates.
Just a little info regarding the various courses offered by ECSI: CPR and AED courses teach breathing and chest compression techniques for use in cardiac and other rescue emergencies. First Aid instruction covers topics from bleeding control to seizures and is perfect for those desiring first aid training without the CPR/AED components. Bloodborne Pathogen training is designed to meet the current OSHA requirements for proper disposition of blood or other potentially infectious agents. Also includes supplemental information on airborne pathogens. Oxygen Administraion details the use of oxygen in emergency situations. This class covers the components of oxygen systems, types of delivery devices, and teaches the importance of safety, storage, and maintenance.
Classroom courses require a minimun registration of ten students and may be formed and scheduled as needed. Online training is available individually. Prices include all printed course materials and are valid in most areas of the United States.

One of the biggest problems regarding CPR Training is that the challenging emotional barriers of response aren't properly addressed. Instead, automated external defibrillator (AED Defibrillator) vendors focus their primary efforts on product use, competitive advantages, product differentiation, etc. Therefore, the sad reality is that approximately 50% of the time during a witnessed cardiac arrest when an AED is present it isn't deployed. Trainers must encourage lay rescuers to respond. The best way of accomplishing this isn't through the latest fads, quick-and-easy techniques, and the false security granted by online training. Rather, if we truly want to encourage bystander action, training must come from professionals who respond to emergencies on a daily basis. These instructors know much more than the mechanics of CPR.
