AED Automatic External Defibrillator
The Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) is a life-saving medical device essential to intervene promptly in the event of sudden cardiac arrest. In an emergency situation, it is essential immediately contact the 112whose operators will send help and provide detailed instructions for first aid. The AED analyses the patient's heart rhythm and, if necessary, instructs the operator to deliver an electric shock to restore a regular heartbeat. The device is designed to guide the operator through each phase of the rescueclearly indicating whether the discharge is appropriate or not. The electrical discharge is delivered via electrode pads placed on the patient's chest. This process interrupts the abnormal electrical activity of the heart, allowing it to re-establish its normal rhythm. The timely use of an AED can significantly increase the chances of survival and reduce the damage caused by cardiac arrest.
