What is an AED?

An Automated External Defibrillator or AED is a user-friendly portable electronic device designed to diagnose cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a victim. An AED will treat the victim by administering an electrical shock stopping the arrhythmia and allowing the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm. AEDs are easy to use and with proper CPR training, they are highly effective at saving lives.
