AED (Automated external defibrillator
- If there are 2 bystanders send one person to get the AED and one person should start CPR immediately.
- A study by Dianne L.Atkinsa et all[1] found the AED used in children less than 8 years of age is able to find both shockable rhythm with high sensitivity and high specificity.
Steps to use AED
- If you find a shockable rhythm use the AED.
- Follow the AED Prompt.
- Stop CPR when the AED is analyzing the rhythm and giving a shock.
- Resume compressions immediately after giving shock and minimize interruptions during compressions.
