An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device designed to treat sudden cardiac arrest. It analyzes the heart’s rhythm and, when necessary, delivers a controlled electric shock to restore a normal heartbeat. With clear voice and visual instructions, AEDs are simple enough for both trained responders and first-time users.

AED equipment plays a vital role in emergency response. Every minute without defibrillation reduces the chance of survival, making quick access to an AED critical in workplaces, schools, gyms, shopping centers, airports, and other public spaces. Using an AED before emergency services arrive can significantly improve survival rates.

Modern AEDs are compact, reliable, and built for fast deployment. They perform automatic self-checks, provide step-by-step guidance, and only deliver a shock when medically required. This ensures safe operation while helping responders act with confidence during high-pressure situations.
