Training and practice

The HeartStart is one part of a well-designed emergency response plan. Any emergency response plan should be under the oversight of a physician and should include training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Philips recommends that you train on the device you will be using.

Several national and local organizations offer combined CPR/defibrillator training.
