Change add or delete the steps. The point was we have a 6 minute response time here in TV by paramedics. I also stated the payback would be CPR training. It's a very small chance you will beat the paramedics to the AED button push step.
My opinion (which allowed until you can produce the time data I requested) is
- The AED in a TV volunteer situation is more a placebo than a life saver. It's not likely to be used but has to be maintained.
- Spend your efforts getting neighbors CPR trained. That's where 99% of the payback will come from.
I wish people would learn to read - go back - reread! The list was intended for the reader to assign time to steps to illustrate how likely or unlikely neighbors would beat paramedics in TV to the AED - not CPR.

Once again, you show you don't know how the program, nor the actual AED, works...
I (and others) have explained it to you. Sadly, we can't understand it for you...
EVERYONE in the AED program is trained in CPM. The AED is an adjunct to help insure that the CPR is being performed properly, as well as a defibrillator (if needed).
And no, you don't have to coordinate the volunteer's schedules. The call goes out to dozens (possibly more) of people...
And that "6 minute response time"? That is the average, under ideal conditions...
