An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable, life-saving medical device designed to treat sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) by delivering an electric shock to restore a normal heart rhythm. AEDs are user-friendly, allowing both trained professionals and laypersons to provide immediate emergency care in critical situations. SCA occurs when the heart's electrical system malfunctions, leading to an irregular heartbeat (ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia). Without prompt intervention, this condition is fatal within minutes. An AED analyzes the heart's rhythm and administers a controlled electric shock (defibrillation) to reset the heart's electrical activity, increasing the chances of survival when used alongside CPR. |
