Training staff to use an AED is essential because it ensures that someone on-site can respond quickly and confidently in the event of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Although AEDs are designed for ease of use, formal training increases the effectiveness of the response by preparing staff to follow prompts, perform CPR, and manage the situation calmly. In an emergency, trained staff can act faster, which is critical as each minute without defibrillation decreases the chance of survival by 7-10%.
