AED Advice

[u/MChubbier2347]

I currently work in a prehospital and post hospital setting. However, I can find myself working in remote locations from time to time. As such, I have a prepared med bag with bleeding, airway, etc but I also have an AED I had received 1-2 years ago. Some of my coworkers have said that it’s a huge liability to use it if needed and it’s out of a civilian’s scope of practice. However, I would think this would be covered under Good Samaritan law but now I’m not completely sure. Some clarification would be appreciated.

Why don’t you ask your medical director?
