AED EQUIPMENT, BASIC FIRST AID, AND CONCUSSION PROTOCOLS

AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR (AED)

AED can save lives, including those of our children. An AED is a lightweight, portable device that delivers an electric shock through the chest to the heart. The shock can potentially stop an irregular heart beat (arrhythmia) and allow a normal rhythm to resume following sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). 

Where to find AED equipment in Flemington-Raritan School District schools:

• Barley Sheaf:  AED is located as you exit the gym at Barley Sheaf into the hallway, it is on your left hand side just past the windows
• Desmares:  AED is located on the right side main wall in the foyer near the front entrance of the gym.
• JP Case:  AED is located down the main hallway on the left by the gyms.
• RFIS:  AEDs are located right outside the gym door next to the large display case, and a second one is in the 300’s by the elevator.
• Robert Hunter:  AED is located right outside of the gym (on the right ).  As soon as you open the door 911 will be called.
