Do they teach defibrillation in CPR classes?


Yes (also an AHA CPR instructor...)

A 'basic' CPR class for the layperson includes CPR for adults and pediatrics, using an AED, and the Heimlich Maneuver


They do here (in the UK) but the modern kits are self teaching (literally, you open them up and they start talking) plus self monitoring (they fire pulses automatically).

Lots of businesses (mostly larger) have started having a unit on site as well.

I was fascinated by that technology when I did my CPR training last year.
