Q: What is AEDS?

An AED, or automated external defibrillator, is used to help those experiencing


sudden cardiac arrest. It's a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, medical device that can
analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or
defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.

TYPES:
There are two main types of AEDs: public access and professional use.

Public access AEDs can be found in airports, community centers, schools,


government buildings, hospitals, and other public locations. They are intended to
be used by lay people who have received minimal training.

Professional use AEDs are used by first responders, such as emergency medical
technicians (EMTs) and paramedics, who receive additional AED training.

AEDs can be semi-automated or fully automated.

 Semi-automated defibrillators analyze the heart's rhythm, and if an


abnormal heart rhythm is detected that requires a shock, then the device
prompts the user to press a button to deliver a defibrillation shock.
 Fully automated defibrillators analyze the heart's rhythm and deliver a
defibrillation shock if commanded by the device software without user
intervention.

Q: WHAT is ACLS?

Advanced cardiac life support, advanced cardiovascular life support refers to a set
of clinical guidelines for the urgent and emergent treatment of life-threatening
cardiovascular conditions that will cause or have caused cardiac arrest, using
advanced medical procedures, medications, and techniques.
It is used to provide urgent treatment to cardiac emergencies such as cardiac
arrest, stroke, myocardial infarction, and other conditions.

Q: What is the features of AEDS?

SEMI-AUTOMATIC VS. FULLY-AUTOMATIC AEDS


A semi-automatic AED requires the rescuer to push a button in order to shock the
victim. Whereas, a fully-automatic AED will automatically shock the victim
without pressing an additional button if it detects a shockable rhythm.

When deciding between a semi-automatic versus a fully automatic AED, consider


who will be using the AED. Will they have AED use training? Are they likely to
freeze when it’s time to push the “shock” button?

Fully automatic AEDs can take the emotional response out of delivering a shock.
But semi-automatic AEDs allow the rescuer to have more control to ensure no one
is touching the victim before a shock is delivered.
