Automated External Defibrillator

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable device designed to help restart a person's heart during sudden cardiac arrest. It analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, delivers an electric shock to restore a normal heartbeat. AEDs are user-friendly, with clear audio and visual instructions, making them accessible to trained or even untrained bystanders. Quick use of an AED, along with CPR, can significantly increase the chances of survival by providing rapid life-saving intervention until professional medical help arrives.
