An Automated External Defibrillatoris a small , cartable device that assesses the heart’s rhythm for any abnormalities and, if sensible, advises the trained help to give an electrical shock to the heart of an sudden cardiac arrest sufferer. This jolt, termed defibrillation, can help the heart to return to a regular rhythm .

An Automated External Defibrillator puts forth voice prompts to direct the trained help. Once the device is switched on, the trained help will be prompted to apply the 2 pads that come with the AED to the SCA vistim’s chest. Once in position, the Automated External Defibrillator will commence monitoring the victim’s heart rhythm. If a “shockable” rhythm is discovered , the AED will charge itself and instruct the trained help to steer clear of the victim and to push the shock button.

An Automated External Defibrillatoris designed to teach rescuers specifically what to do , using voice and visual prompts . Rescuers attach adhesive electrode pads on the person’s chest. Through these electrodes, the AED is programmed to automatically evaluate the electrical activity of the heart to determine if a “shockable” rhythm exists.

Whether you suffer an Sudden Cardiac Arrest at work or in the Emergency Room of a hospital, defibrillation is THE definitive treatment .
