Conscious Choking Adult
Automated External Defibrillator (AED)*
*AEDs
are crucial to the chain of survival, because they can provide
for early defibrillation if a victims heart stops
beating. Without an AED available, a responder can only
help keep oxygenated blood flowing at a minimal level through
CPR until EMS personnel arrive to defibrillate the patient.
AEDs are easy-to-use, portable machines that automatically
deliver a shock to the patient without a heartbeat, and
when in the hands of a knowledgeable responder, it means
in many cases the heart can be defibrillated before EMS
arrives, enhancing the chance of revival. Because early
defibrillation is so important, many businesses, government
agencies and public places are making AEDs readily available
for properly trained personnel.
