An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that can be used to save lives in the event of sudden cardiac arrest. AEDs are easy to use, even for people with no medical training. They provide voice instructions and visual cues to guide the user through the process of delivering a defibrillation shock, which can restart the heart and restore normal rhythm.
AEDs work by analyzing the heart’s rhythm and delivering a shock to the heart if it is in a dangerous rhythm, such as ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. The shock helps to reset the heart’s rhythm and allow it to beat normally again.
AEDs are safe and effective for use on people of all ages, including children. They are also safe to use on pregnant women.
AEDs can be found in many public places, such as airports, schools, and office buildings. They are also available for purchase for home use.
