Old enough to hear: Numerous studies have shown that for the best designed automated defibrillators, schoolchildren readily learn the operation and safe use of the device. While it would be preferred to have a well-trained adult utilizing the device, i, for one, will take anybody out there in the event that I should need such a device.
