Hide AdAutomated External Defibrillators (AED’s) are portable devices that can be used on someone having a cardiac arrest. They check the heart rhythm and send an electric shock to the heart to try and restore a normal rhythm.
They have been in wide use for many years and form part of the standard equipment that paramedics, ambulances and first responders carry.
They give the best possible chance for someone to survive until medical services arrive.
