AED/DEA First-Aid

AED First-Aid / Emergency Care

We take a generic approach to AED/DEA First Aid training as all the AED Units may be different the principle of using them in first aid are much the same.

IHMP First Aid Training is firstly about feeling comfortable using an AED Unit and correctly applying the PADs to an injured Person (As this is the area most people find difficult). 

We also study the major causes for "SCA" Sudden Cardiac Arrest and the primary care procedures.

There are also many misconceptions about using AED devices among non medical persons and the major one is "Can I injure them further or even stop a beating heart?" 

The simple answer should be NO! The AED Unit is able to detect a heart rhythm even when it appears that there is none and the Unit will only function if there is not a signal strong enough to maintain life.  Other wise the unit will instruct the user to "Give CPR for 2-3 Mins" and then check again... Or No Action Required call EMS! 

The AED7000 Unit

We sell both trade and retails the AED7000Automatic External Defibrillator, which is a defibrillation device, safe, portable and easy to use, it can be applied in family and public places to give rapid first aid for sudden death symptoms.(SCA Sudden Cardiac Arrest!)

We offer a generic AED Program which covers most of the units available on the market today and in the future...

Quality of Training

With a complex unit of electronics like an AED it is very easy for many people to feel intimidated and out of their depth... But our training methods use low stress and comfortable practical sessions in order to develop both confidence and skills ability.  

ITDA IHMP Training programs have evolved and are continuously evolving over 1,000's of hours of practice and demonstrations. So that the few hours our students spend learning these valuable skills are firmly grounded in the practical application of such skills.

The Course program is just one day and requires a pre-requisite of CPR Training (This maybe included in the course program). No other requirements exist...  CPR Will also be reviewed and practiced on the Course Program.
