The heart may develop an abnormal heartbeat if deprived of oxygen. The only way to determine and correct this condition is by using the AED. This automated external defibrillator is lightweight, portable, and battery operated. It guides the rescuer through voice prompts and instructions on the screen as it analyzes the casualty's ECG. The sooner the casualty receives defibrillation to correct an irregular heartbeat, the better. This is why it is important to make the AED accessible to a trained first aider within minutes. This information module will provide you the steps on how to operate the AED.
