AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS (AED)
What is an AED?
The automated external defibrillator (AED)
is a computerized medical device. An AED can check a person’s heart rhythm. It
can recognize a rhythm that requires a shock. And it can advise the rescuer when
a shock is needed. The AED uses voice prompts, lights and text messages to tell
the rescuer the steps to take. AEDs are very accurate and easy to
use. With a few hours of training, anyone can learn to operate an AED
safely. There are many different brands of AEDs, but the same basic steps apply
to all of them. The AHA does not recommend a specific model.
