When should I use an AED?

How the AED Works

In Ventricular Fibrillation heart muscles become all “squirmy” ... they don’t pump blood properly

The AED recognizes that and shocks the heart... often that fixes the problem

RESUSCITATE

How to use an AED

• Once pads are properly applied, AED will tell you to stop CPR and not touch the patient

• It will start “analyzing heart rhythm” to see if it needs to shock the person

• If it sees a shockable rhythm, the AED will tell you: “shock advised”
