How To Use an AED During an Emergency
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a life-saving device used during sudden cardiac arrest. AEDs are designed for public use and provide simple voice instructions to guide rescuers.
What Does an AED Do?
An AED analyzes the heart’s rhythm and delivers a shock if needed to help restore a normal heartbeat.
When Should an AED Be Used?
Use an AED when:
A person is unresponsive
They are not breathing normally
They show no signs of circulation
Basic AED Steps
Call 911 and begin CPR.
Turn on the AED.
Apply the pads to the bare chest as shown on the diagrams.
Follow the voice prompts.
Continue CPR after the shock if instructed.
