Lee College has placed automated external defibrillators (AEDs) throughout its campus and centers for use by trained and untrained individuals in the event that another person is experiencing a sudden cardiac malfunction.
An AED is a portable device designed to be simple to use. An AED automatically detects and analyzes heart rhythm and determines if a person needs to be shocked. Once turned on, an automated voice will direct the user in clear, easy-to-understand terms. However, the units alone cannot save a person. 911 must be called as soon as possible.

CPR/AED/FIRST Aid Certifications
CPR/AED/First Aid training is offered throughout the year to staff and faculty. At the end of the class, participants will receive a certification card issued by the American Heart Association that is valid for two years. Training must be repeated every two years to maintain certification.
Who can use an AED?
Ideally, an AED will be used by someone who has completed the CPR/AED/First Aid training; however, AEDs are designed to be used by anyone. Texas law explicitly extends and broadens Good Samaritan protection to trained AND untrained users, including "citizen" AED providers, their medical director, AED manufacturers, and training providers (HB 580 §779.006, HB2117 §74.151). This protection is valid as long as an act of willful or wanton negligence is not performed.
