Objective of AED Program

Concordia University, Irvine has carefully placed 11 automated external defibrillators (AED) throughout its campus. The authorized (AED) program will enable targeted responders in a corporate setting to deliver early defibrillation to patients experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest. Responders’ use of the AED does not replace the care provided by professional emergency medical services (EMS) providers, but is meant to provide a lifesaving bridge during the first few critical minutes it takes for advanced life support providers to arrive. Upon arrival of EMS providers, patient care will be transferred.

AED Coordinator

The AED Coordinator is an employee of the corporation who is the primary liaison for the organization’s AED program and Medical Director. This person has the responsibility for maintaining all equipment and supplies, organizing training and regular review programs, forwarding any incident data to the Medical Director and holding post-incident debriefing sessions for any responders involved.

Authorized Responders

Authorized Responders are specific individuals certified and authorized to use an AED in a sudden cardiac arrest emergency. These individuals are trained by and operated under the direction of the AED coordinator, according to established protocols. Authorized responders may be emergency health care certified, or lay first responders.

A list of authorized responders is maintained by the AED coordinator, Steven Rodriguez, in the Director of Campus Safety Office (Admin 120B).
