Automated External Defibrillators (AED)

 

Introduction:


Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are portable electronic devices used to treat sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) by delivering an electric shock to restore normal heart rhythm. User-friendly, with voice and visual prompts, AEDs are commonly found in public places, schools, and healthcare settings. Training is not always required, making AEDs a vital tool in saving lives.

Automated external defibrillators, sometimes known as AEDs, are what exactly?

In situations where a person has sudden cardiac arrest, automated external defibrillators, also known as AEDs, are life-saving devices that are used to restore normal heart rhythm. In this lesson, we will go over the fundamentals of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), including how they function and the reasons why they are so important in times of crisis.

How to Use an Automatic External Defibrillator 


Get a step-by-step guide on how to operate an automated external defibrillator (AED) properly. The purpose of this module is to provide practical instruction on how to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to save lives. This includes recognising when it is appropriate to use the device, applying the pads, and administering a shock.

AED Maintenance and Safety

Gain an understanding of the significance of adhering to safety regulations and performing routine maintenance on automated external defibrillators (AEDs). For the purpose of ensuring that your automated external defibrillator (AED) is always available for use, we will discuss subjects such as correct storage, verifying expiration dates, and performing routine inspections.

AED Placement and Accessibility

It is important to have a good understanding of the significance of strategically placing automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in public areas and workplaces and making them easily accessible. Within this session, we will review the most effective sites and laws that will maximise the likelihood of prompt defibrillation in the event of an emergency.

AEDs in Action or Real-Life Scenarios 

Investigate actual situations in which automated external defibrillators (AEDs) were instrumental in preventing the loss of life on multiple occasions. Learn how automated external defibrillators (AEDs) can make a difference between sudden cardiac arrests in public places and workplace crises, as well as the reasons why everyone should be taught in how to use them.
