I worked a HS playoff series this week at a neutral site. The HC for the host assiated with the plate conference ground rules and closed with, "We've got an AED on site too." It's not SOP around the Chicago area even though coaches must know CPR. Even then, unless an AED is present, VFIB will win out. Any of you have AEDs mandatory at HS or collegiate sites?

You do not have to be trained to use most AEDs. It does come as part of most CPR classes now so you are familiar, but it tells you what to do and has very simple pictures showing how to apply the pads.

This. When I was the EMT Supervisor at a casino, we decided to see how well some of our employees could perform AED functions without any AED training. It was amazing how easily they figured it out. |

After 27 years of field experience as a Paramedic, I know how to use them as well as how to perform a pre-cordial thump. If your there at the time of the collapse, as in this case, a pre-cordial thump has a very good chance of working. Just as early defibrillation is a must in a successful resuscitation, rapid care is a must. I wouldn't recommend using a thump for anyone on this board or any umpire for that matter UNLESS, it's your job. Because of my background, I would administer care, I would be negligent if I didn't.
