AED

When the AED is turned on, the pads have to be placed on the victim’s chest for the device to monitor his condition. The AED monitors the victim’s heartbeat and then considers various factors before deciding that a shock is necessary. After getting charged, it instructs the user to administer the shock and gives detailed instructions to help in administering the shock.

After the first shock is given, it will monitor the statistics of the victim and decide if another shock is necessary and then proceeds in a similar manner. Thus, as we can see the AED only after careful consideration decides if a shock is necessary or not.

If the AED does not see the need for a shock, it will instruct the user to perform chest compressions on the victim. AED’s are manufactured using the highest technology available and are the best option for treatment for sudden cardiac arrest. AED’s are safe and very reliable and highly efficient devices.
