4. Automated external
defibrillator
 AED is a portable type of external
defibrillator that automatically diagnose
the ventricular fibrillation in a patient.
 Automatic refers to the ability to
autonomously analyze the patients
condition.
 AED is provided with self-adhesive
electrodes instead of hand held paddles.

6. Principle
 Integration of AED use with basic life
support measure .When arriving at the
scene of a suspected cardiac arrest ,
rescuers must rapidly integrate
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with
the use of the available AED. Interrupt
CPR only when it is necessary to analyze
the rhythm and deliver a shock.

8. WORKING
 Automatically Checks victims heart
rhythm to detect fibrillation.
 Advises whether victim needs a Shock.
 The Shock (defibrillation) is an attempt
to return heart to a more normal
rhythm.

9. How to use an aed
 Turn on the AED
 Expose Chest
 To Attach Pads
 Plug in Connecter
 Stay Clear
 Analyze the Rhythm
 Deliver Shock
 After Shock
 Perform CPR

11. Functions of aed
 An AED is an electronic device that
analyses the heart rhythm and if
necessary delivers a shock , known
as defibrillation.
 This needs to be inVentricular
Fibrillation.

13. Safety precautions of aed
 Perspiration
 Playtex
 Patches
 Pendants
 Piercings
 Pacemaker
 Shaving

14. advantages
 Recommended by current resuscitation
guidelines .
 Widely used.
 Allows health care professionals to override
the device and deliver a shock manually,
independently of prompts.
 Safer, no risk of inappropriate shocks to the
rescuer.
 Easier to use and more appropriate for lay-
rescuers.
 Better compliance with resuscitation
protocols.

15. DISADVANTAGES
 More complex to use for the untrained
responders.
 More difficult to synchronize with CPR
maneuvers for lay rescuers.
 Longer times until shock delivery.
 Risk of electrocution for the rescuer if
inappropriately used.
 No possibility to override the device.
 Not recommended by current guidelines except
for special situations.

16. conclusion
 The main purpose of our study was to
determine the use of AED not only improves
the survival rate but also improves the quality
of life of the survivors after discharge.
 We concluded that the use of the AED
programs in the community is effective.
 Our study demonstrates that people not
related to the medical field can equally
contribute to the improvement of survival
rate using AED in our societies.
