OK, I'm jumping in. First, please stop calling it an "AED Program". It is a neighborhood Emergency Response Team program. Second, of course we are trained to start CCC (continuous chest compressions) after determining that is the correct thing to do. Responders have a list of duties that include much more than just fetching the AED.

I am seeing a lot of comments from those that clearly have no idea what is actually involved in these EMT programs. I find it irresponsible of them to risk influencing others with their uninformed comments. OK, have at me. I will still come to your home and help save your life.
