AED FAQs

What is an AED?

An AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is a portable medical device that can be used to treat sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). It is designed to analyze a person's heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock to the heart if needed to restore its normal rhythm. The device uses voice prompts to guide the user through the process of attaching the electrodes to the chest of the person in cardiac arrest, analyzing the heart rhythm, and delivering a shock if necessary. They are easy to use and can save lives by providing quick and effective treatment for sudden cardiac arrest.

When should an AED be used?

An AED (Automated External Defibrillator) should be used when a person is experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) which can cause the heart to stop beating effectively. The device is designed to analyze the heart rhythm of the person in SCA and deliver an electric shock if necessary to restore the heart's normal rhythm. In general, an AED should be used when someone is unconscious, not breathing normally, and has no pulse. The use of an AED is critical in this situation because it can greatly increase the person's chances of survival. It is important to note that if an AED is not readily available, performing hands-only CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) can also help in keeping blood moving to vital organs until emergency medical personnel arrive.
