Automatic External Defibrillators (AED)

Abnormal heart rhythm is the cause of most sudden cardiac arrests. When the heart rhythm becomes chaotic, often without warning, the heart will stop abruptly. The American Heart Association (AHA) states that survival from sudden cardiac arrest depends directly on the speed in administering a defibrillation shock in an attempt to restore normal heart function.

The Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) Program provides public access to university maintained AEDs for use in the event of a cardiac emergency. The AED Program establishes protocols for training, use, and maintenance of AEDs located on George Mason University property. A complete list of the location of AED on George Mason University Campuses is provided below.

In the event that an AED is used, an AED Incident Report form must be completed and submitted to EHS.
