Can a 2-minute video save more lives? police test new AED training
NCT ID NCT07649616
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a brief training video can boost police officers' confidence and willingness to use an AED (a device that shocks the heart) during cardiac arrest, especially on women. About 30 officers will take surveys before and after watching the video. The goal is to see if this simple tool can increase AED use and reduce gender gaps in emergency care.
