Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are becoming increasingly common and available in many public spaces. These devices are designed to analyze heart rhythms and provide visual and audio prompts to guide rescuers through emergency procedures in the event of cardiac arrest.

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a specialized medical device that is not yet widely ubiquitous, and the investment required is significant. A high-quality AED from a reputable European manufacturer typically ranges in price from 1,000 to 2,000 EUR.  

The heart functions normally when the atria and ventricles contract, pushing blood out of the heart chambers. However, for various reasons, this contraction process may not be strong enough to pump blood to the body and brain, leading to oxygen deprivation and unconsciousness. At this critical moment, an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) also known as a shock machine or defibrillator can save the victim's life.  

When cardiac arrest occurs, the victim's chance of survival decreases by 10% for every minute that passes without intervention. An AED analyzes the victim's heart rhythm and delivers a defibrillation shock if necessary, effectively helping to restore a normal heartbeat. Furthermore, many modern AEDs feature voice prompts and visual instructions via LCD screens to guide rescuers in performing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is designed to deliver an electric shock to restore an effective heart rhythm in cases of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest. But does this powerful electrical current pose a danger to the rescuer or the victim?

AED stands for “automated external defibrillator. Although the AED is fully automated and can provide instructions for first aiders on how to perform CPR, there are no specific instructions on where on the victim’s body to place the electrode pads, which might depend on many factors.

Are you confident that you can give first aid to cardiac arrest victims or use AEDs in the right way?...

Do you know that only 9% of cardiac arrest victims survive. However, if CPR is performed, this number can rise to 30%... 

The automatic external defibrillator (AED) works to analyze the victim's heart rate, when necessary, will defibrillate and help the heart re-establish the proper heart rate. Meanwhile, it also instructs the user to perform CPR by its sound and signal showed on the LCD screen mounted on the body. There are at least 7 AED manufacturers and more than 20 different AED models in the world. So, how can you choose a good-quality and suitable AED?

There are at least 7 AED manufacturers and more than 20 different AED models in the world. With great efficiency in helping to save the lives of cardiac arrest victims, in developed countries, AEDs have been installed in many public places. In Vietnam, the term “AED” is still new, but it has been gradually noticed.

When a person experiences cardiac arrest, for each passing minute, the victim's survival rate decreases by 10%. an automated external defibrillator (AED)
