AED Equipment

AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator. It’s a portable device that analyzes the heart's rhythm and can deliver an electric shock to restore a normal heartbeat in cases of sudden cardiac arrest.
An AED typically contains several key components: Device Housing: A durable, portable casing that protects the internal components and is often waterproof and shock-resistant. Electrodes (Pads): These are sticky pads that attach to the patient’s chest. They detect the heart's rhythm and deliver shocks if necessary. Battery: AEDs are powered by batteries, which may be rechargeable or replaceable. They need to be checked regularly to ensure they are functional. Internal Computer: This analyzes the heart’s rhythm to determine if a shock is needed. Audio/Visual Prompts: Most AEDs have voice prompts and visual indicators (like lights or screens) that guide the user through the process of using the device. Instruction Manual: Many AEDs come with a built-in instruction manual or quick reference guide for users. CPR Guidance: Some models provide instructions for performing CPR alongside defibrillation. Data Storage: Some AEDs have the capability to store data about the event, which can be useful for medical professionals after the incident.
