When should I use an AED?
How the AED Works
In Ventricular Fibrillation heart muscles become all “squirmy” ... they don’t pump blood properly
The AED recognizes that and shocks the heart... often that fixes the problem

RESUSCITATE
•Continue CPR until someone brings you the AED
•Place the AED right beside you
•Turn on AED
•Make sure someone continues CPR while you follow AED prompts
See page 13, Student Manual
RESUSCITATE
How to use an AED
• Once pads are properly applied, AED will tell you to stop CPR and not touch the patient
• It will start “analyzing heart rhythm” to see if it needs to shock the person
• If it sees a shockable rhythm, the AED will tell you: “shock advised”
See page 13, Student Manual
