FAQ

What is an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)?

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable, life-saving device designed to treat people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). It analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, delivers an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.

Who can use an AED?

AEDs are designed for use by the general public. They come with clear instructions, and many models provide voice-guided prompts to assist the user through the process. While formal training in AED use and CPR is beneficial and recommended, untrained bystanders can also use the device effectively in an emergency.

How does an AED work?

When turned on, the AED will instruct the user to attach electrode pads to the patient's chest. Once the pads are in place, the AED analyzes the patient's heart rhythm to determine whether a shock is needed. If a shockable rhythm is detected, the AED will prompt the user to deliver a shock. The device ensures safety by only allowing a shock to be administered if it's necessary.

Where should AEDs be installed?

AEDs should be readily accessible in high-traffic areas such as schools, offices, gyms, shopping centers, and within homes, especially where there are individuals with known heart conditions. They should be placed in clearly marked, unobstructed locations with signage indicating their presence, ensuring quick retrieval during an emergency.
