AED - Automated External Defibrillator

AEDs may be seen in many public offices and buildings and are used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.

AEDs are an easy-to-use medical device that can analyze the heart's rhythm, and if necessary, deliver an electric shock to restore the heart rhythm to normal.

Chances of survival from sudden cardiac death decrease by 7-10% for each minute without immediate CPR of defibrillation. After 10 minutes, resuscitation rarely succeeds.

AEDs can be lifesaving tools that must be maintained. Maintenance schedules are crucial to keep the device functioning properly.
