AED

November 11th, 2009

This machine is useful for people who suffer from cardiac arrhythmias that could lead to cardiac arrest. AED could well be an abbreviation for the characteristics of the machine. Automatic refers to the ability of the machine to analyze a patient’s condition by using spoken prompts so that even inexperienced people can use it. External means that the electrode pads are applied on the bare chest as compared to internal defibrillators that have electrodes surgically implanted inside the patient’s body.

Automatic external defibrillators can be used by laymen. Training for its use is quick and easy. Even without training anybody can follow simple instructions that are given out by the machine. The person has to know only how to put on the machine and it will analyze the patient and do step by step directions. Most machines provide spoken instructions while others will have visual displays that are easy to follow.
