Board member
Steve Bedrosian was in attendance. Bedrosian, a former Atlanta Braves
player, was the board member who made the motion last year to purchase
the defibrillators for Coweta County schools and have them on hand in
schools and near athletic fields.
The board agreed,
purchasing the battery-powered units for every middle and high school
in Coweta County. When applied, the sophisticated units monitor and report
on heart rate, advise the operator through computerized voice instructions
and, if necessary, allow operators to supply an electric shock to restart
the heart.
Early use of
the units in the case of ventricular fibrillation can save a life, instructor
Dave Hawthorne told trainees Thursday.
