Kentucky

In Kentucky, AED programs must follow key operational standards that include regular device maintenance, proper training, medical oversight, reporting device locations, notifying emergency services, and documenting incidents after use. The state’s Good Samaritan protection covers AED users who follow the guidelines. Yet, it does not include all program-related activities. To boost emergency readiness, AED devices need to be available at high school sports events and practices. They are also required in dental offices that use sedation or anesthesia.
