Comprehensive automated external defibrillator (AED) programs with developed medical emergency response plans can improve sudden cardiac arrest outcomes in school-age children. This article explores literature on existing school AED program recommendations and the school nurse's advocacy role in AED program implementation. This article also discusses three major themes identified: (a) The school nurse should advocate for school health and lead the school through implementation of a comprehensive AED program, (b) school campuses should implement an AED program, develop a cardiac emergency response plan (CERP), and practice mock drills, and (c) minimal AED program requirements should be researched, outlined, and written into law to promote safety on all school campuses. A collaborative approach to building a CERP, addressing barriers to implementation, and current legislation are discussed. By initiating changes within their role and building a comprehensive AED program, the school nurse can positively influence sudden cardiac arrest and cardiac emergency outcomes on their school campus.
