Cardiac Arrest is sudden, that’s why people aren’t prepared to act. Most cardiac arrests happen at home. Having a DEFIB nearby can be the difference between life and death. These devices are simple, safe, and easy to use, even for someone with no medical training. When used quickly, a defibrillator can restore a heartbeat and give someone a second chance at life before emergency responders arrive.
Steps to use an AED:
Immediately call 911 as fast as you can.
Follow verbal and visual commands
Remove clothing
Apply pads
Allow device to analyze
Push button when prompted
Leave pads on and continue PUMPing
DO NOT STOP until help arrives or device reanalyzes
