Description

An AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is a portable electronic device used to treat sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) by analyzing the heart’s rhythm and, if necessary, delivering an electric shock (defibrillation) to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.

🔹 An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device that automatically diagnoses life‑threatening cardiac arrhythmias (such as ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia) and, if needed, delivers an electric shock (defibrillation) to help the heart re‑establish a normal rhythm.

What an AED Does:

1. Analyzes the heart rhythm of a person in cardiac arrest.

2. Determines if a shock is needed to correct a life-threatening arrhythmia (like ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia).

3. Delivers a shock automatically or prompts the user to press a button to deliver it.

🔹 Key Features of an AED:

🔹 Who Can Use It?

AEDs are designed for use by non-medical personnel, including:

• First responders

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) in an emergency:

🩺 How to Use an AED – Step-by-Step

⚠️ Always ensure your safety and call emergency services (e.g., 911) before beginning AED use.

Step 1: Check the Scene & Person

• Ensure the area is safe.

• Check the person for responsiveness (tap and shout).

• If unresponsive and not breathing or only gasping, call emergency services and start CPR immediately.

Step 2: Turn On the AED

• Open the AED case and turn the device on (button or lid depending on the model).

• The AED will begin to give voice prompts and visual instructions.

Step 3: Expose the Chest

• Remove clothing from the person’s chest.

• Make sure the chest is dry and free of hair where pads will be placed.

  • Use the razor or cloth (usually included in AED kit) if needed.

Step 4: Attach the Pads

• Peel the backing off the electrode pads.

• Place the pads on the person’s chest as shown on the pads:

  • One pad on the upper right chest (just below collarbone).

  • One pad on the lower left side (below armpit).

Step 5: Let the AED Analyze

• Ensure no one is touching the person.

• The AED will analyze the heart rhythm.

• The device may say “Analyzing heart rhythm. Do not touch the patient.”

Step 6: Deliver the Shock (if advised)

• If the AED advises a shock:

  • Make sure no one is touching the victim.

  • Press the shock button when prompted.

• If no shock is advised, AED will prompt you to continue CPR.

Step 7: Resume CPR

• Immediately begin CPR (30 compressions and 2 breaths) after the shock or if no shock is advised.

• Continue CPR for 2 minutes, then let the AED re-analyze.

• Repeat the process as instructed by the AED until emergency services arrive or the person responds.

🚑 Important Reminders:

• AEDs are designed for ease of use by anyone—even without medical training.

• Do not remove the AED pads between shocks or CPR unless instructed.

• If using an AED on a child under 8 or 25 kg (55 lbs), use pediatric pads if available.
