Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and accessories

What are defibrillators?

An AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is a portable device that helps restart the heart during a life-threatening emergency. AEDs work by analysing the heart’s rhythm and determining whether a shock is needed to restore a normal heart rhythm. If a shock is required, the AED will instruct the user to deliver it, meaning they can be used by anyone, regardless of medical experience. The ability of AEDs to quickly administer a shock dramatically improves survival rates in cases of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).

Which AED do you need?

When selecting an AED, it’s important to consider the specific needs of the environment in which it will be used. Some factors to keep in mind include ease of use, portability, and durability. Most AEDs are designed to be user-friendly, with clear prompts and instructions, but some models offer additional features like child settings or enhanced battery life, which may be more suited to certain environments.

You should also consider the size of the area where the AED will be placed, the number of people who may need to use it, and whether the device will need to withstand varying conditions. For example, devices that are compact and lightweight may be best suited for environments where the AED needs to be moved frequently, while those with rugged, weather-resistant features may be better suited for locations exposed to harsh conditions.

Regular maintenance and replacing accessories as needed can make all the difference when every second matters.
