What is an AED?
An AED, or automated
external defibrillator, is a device
that automatically analyzes heart rhythms
and advises the operator to deliver a shock
if the heart is in a fatal heart rhythm.
AEDs are safe and will not shock anyone who
is not in a fatal heart rhythm. Non-medical
personnel can use AEDs safely and
effectively with minimal training.
How does an
AED work?
A computer inside the defibrillator analyzes
the victim's heart rhythm. The device
decides whether a shock is needed. Some
devices shock the victim automatically if a
shock is needed. Other devices require that
the operator press a button to deliver the
shock. The shock is delivered through pads
stuck to the victim's bare chest. The shock
stuns the heart, stopping abnormal heart
activity, and allowing a normal heart rhythm
to resume.
Can I accidentally hurt the victim with an AED?
No. Most SCA victims will die if they are not treated immediately. Your
actions can only help. AEDs are designed in such a way that they will
only shock victims who need to be shocked.
What if the victim has
a medication patch, such as nitroglycerin?
Never place electrodes directly on top of
medication patches. If the patch is in the
way of the AED pads, remove it and wipe off
the area with the victim's shirt. Then apply
the pads to the clean, bare skin.
What if the victim has
an implantable pacemaker or defibrillator?
If the victim has a pacemaker or internal
defibrillator with a battery pack (visible
as a lump under the skin about two inches
long), avoid placing pad directely on top of
the implanted medical device.
The Growing
Potential for AEDs
Because sudden
cardiac arrest is most effectively treated within
the first few seconds or minutes of a sudden
collapse, AEDs have the potential to save thousands
of lives that could be lost if treatment is delayed
until ambulances travel to the scene of a cardiac
arrest. The American Heart Association's Early
Defibrillation movement aims to put AEDs in the
hands of all emergency responders and in public
places like airports, shopping malls, health clubs,
and office buildings. As a result, the potential
market for AEDs is very large.
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable device that
analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, allows a rescuer to
deliver an electric shock to a victim of sudden cardiac arrest. This
shock, called defibrillation, may halt the rapid and chaotic heart
activity of sudden cardiac arrest, and help the heart to reestablish an
effective rhythm of its own.
