Emergencies can happen at any time, so it’s not a bad idea to prepare by having an automated external defibrillator on hand. Often portable, these units deliver an electric shock to aid people suffering from sudden cardiac arrest. AEDs are designed to be user friendly so anyone can deliver lifesaving emergency care before first responders arrive, but if you have one in your dental practice it is a good idea to make sure the entire staff knows how to use it.
