Automated External Defibrillators,Cardiac Arrest,Trent University

Trent University says an AED has been successfully used twice in the last 10 years in Peterborough. Among the 37 AEDs added include four in outdoor climate-controlled cabinets.

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any time. It's why Trent University now has defibrillators readily available across its campuses; And why health advocates say more of these devices need to be accessible in public locations. Germain Ma has the story.

“We often think of AEDs being needed for older adults or more vulnerable populations but in this case, actually one of them was a Trent student,” said Leslie Spooner, Trent’s athletics assistant director of customer engagement and operations.
