What is AED? Automatic External Defibrillators or Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs or AEDs) , are small, lightweight devices that look at a person's heart rhythm (through special pads placed on the torso) and can recognize ventricular fibrillation (VF), also known as "sudden cardiac arrest" or SCA. If SCA is present, an AED will advise, and will talk the responder through some very simple steps to defibrillate. AEDs are designed to be used by lay rescuers or "first responders". Are There Any Warning Signs of SCA? No, and sadly enough the first sign of heart problems in most men is sudden cardiac arrest. SCA claims more than 350,000 lives each year, primarily because lifesaving treatment, that is, early defibrillation, does not reach the victim within the first critical minutes. Does the AED Take the Place of CPR? No. The AED is part of CPR. For maximum benefits (that is, best chance of survival) the two tools must be used together! Can I Hurt Someone with an AED? No! AEDs will not shock someone who does not need to be shocked. It’s that simple. - Early defibrillation represents the best chance for survival.
