A monkey can work it,my 6 year old knows how to use it. I am a nurse and BLS Trainer,AED trainer. You only have about 3-4 minutes to use it successfully and patients commonly go down at parks, golf courses,tennis courts,plus there are baseball games there. If a kid gets hit in the chest head on with a ball he can go into v-fib arrest, the only thing that will save his life is a defribillator. How many more tragedies does NY we need before we get one??? I guess if you haven't had to wrap a 12 yr old in a body bag who could have been saved w/ an AED u don't want to get it. Please we need to consider this for the residents in our community!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Michelle B RN,BLS Instructor more importantly,we should have an AED at Shell Creek.
