What is an AED?
Automated
External
Defibrillator
What is an AED and when should you use it?
• An AED is a device that gives an electric shock to the heart when the
heart has stopped (cardiac arrest).
• An AED can be used on adults and children (over the age of one).
• Using an AED before an ambulance arrives can double someone’s
chances of survival!
• AEDs are stored in many public places.
• You can use an AED with no training – don’t worry!
• The machine analyses the casualty’s heart rhythm and delivers the
shock if needed.
• If you don’t have access to an AED then you should call 999 for help
and do ordinary CPR until the ambulance arrives.
How to use an AED
• First, make sure someone has called for an ambulance.
• If an AED isn’t immediately available, start CPR.
• As soon as you’ve got an AED, switch it on. It will immediately start to
give you a series of verbal prompts telling you what to do next.
• Take the pads out of the sealed pack.
Check for the 4 P’s• Perspiration
• Patches (Nicotine or morphine patches)
• Pacemakers
• Pendants
The above are only a concern if located where the
defibrillator pads need to be positioned.
