General Questions
What is an AED?
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable device that analyzes heart rhythm and delivers an electric shock if needed to treat sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
Who can use an AED?
AEDs are not limited to use by medical professionals. Individuals who have been trained and certified in CPR and AED use, or have completed Basic Life Support (BLS) or Advanced Life Support (ALS) courses, are qualified to operate an AED. Those without any emergency training should follow the guidance of emergency dispatch personnel when using the device.
What is the difference between a semi-automatic and a fully-automatic AED?
A semi-automatic AED requires the rescuer to press the shock button after analysis, while a fully-automatic AED delivers the shock automatically if needed.
