ATCEMS has been a proud provider of CPR and First Aid training to the
general public since 1985. Automatic Exertnal Defibrillator (AED)
training is now also available.
The Austin/Travis County EMS System is a Community Training Center for the American Heart Association and provides guidance for approximately 300 CPR and First Aid instructors. One of the most popular classes that we provide is the AED Training class. The AED is a small laptop computer-sized medical device that is used to resuscitate a cardiac arrest victim. The AED is designed to deliver an electrical shock to the heart, and is used on unconscious patients who display no breathing or pulse. The use of an AED has traditionally been used by healthcare professionals but has been recently introduced to the lay public. In most states the use of AEDs by lay rescuers has been added to the Good Samaritan Law. The Austin/Travis County EMS System is excited to get this life saving skill and knowledge to the public. The Austin/Travis County System can assist an organization in the implementation of a Public Access Defibrillation program. This program is designed for companies who want to offer to their employees the benefit of having an AED at their workplace. Our training division was instrumental in implementing the in-house AED training for the Austin Bergstorm International Airport, the first airport in the State to have AEDs installed. We are committed to providing quality training to everyone from new parents who want to learn Infant CPR to CPR Instructors who need to renew their certifications.
