Essential Facts about AED Defibrillators

An automated external defibrillator ( AED ) or automatic external defibrillator is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation.  With modern technology, an automatic external defibrillator is able to treat them through defibrillation. Having an AED close by can mean the difference between life and death for a victim of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).  Automated external defibrillators ( AEDs ) are designed to be simple to use for the layman, and the use of AEDs is taught in many first aid, first responder and basic life support (BLS) level CPR classes.  An automated external defibrillator  AED is used in cases of life threatening cardiac arrhythmias which have led to cardiac arrest.  AEDs are designed to be used by lay persons. This is in contrast to more sophisticated manual and semi-automatic defibrillators used by health professionals.  Automated external defibrillators ¾  automatic external defibrillators ¾  AEDs are generally either held by trained personnel who will attend events or are public access units which can be found in places including corporate and government offices, shopping centers, airports, restaurants, casinos, hotels, sports stadiums, schools and universities, community centers, fitness centers, health clubs, workplaces and any other location where people may congregate. The location of a public access AED should take into account where large groups of people gather, regardless of age or activity. Children as well as adults may fall victim to sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). In many areas, emergency vehicles are likely to carry AEDs, with some ambulances carrying an AED in addition to manual defibrillators. Police or fire vehicles often carry an AED for first responder use. Some areas have dedicated community first responders, who are volunteers tasked with keeping an AED and taking it to any victims in their area. AEDs are also increasingly common on commercial airlines, cruise ships, and other transportation facilities. In order to make them highly visible, public access AEDs often are brightly colored, and are mounted in protective cases near the entrance of a building. When these protective cases are opened or the defibrillator is removed, some will sound a buzzer to alert nearby staff to their removal, though this does not necessarily summon emergency services; trained AED operators should know to phone for an ambulance when sending for or using an AED. In September 2008, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation issued a 'universal AED sign' to be adopted throughout the world to indicate the presence of an AED.

A trend that is developing is the purchase of AEDs to be used in the home, particularly by those with known existing heart conditions. The number of automated external defibrillator ( AED ) devices in the community has grown as prices have fallen to affordable levels. There has been some concern among medical professionals that these home users do not necessarily have appropriate training, and many advocate the more widespread use of community responders, who can be appropriately trained and managed. Typically, an AED kit will contain a face shield for providing a barrier between patient and first aider during rescue breathing; a pair of nitrile rubber gloves; a pair of trauma shears for cutting through a patient's clothing to expose the chest; a small towel for wiping away any moisture on the chest, and a razor for shaving those with very hairy chests. Most manufacturers recommend checking the AED before every period of duty or on a regular basis for fixed units. Some AED units need to be switched on in order to perform a self check; other AED models have a self check system built in with a visible indicator. All manufacturers mark their AED pads with an expiry date, and it is important to ensure that the AED pads are in date. This is usually marked on the outside of the AED pads. Some Automated external defibrillator AEDs models are designed to make this date visible through a 'window', although others will require the opening of the case to find the date stamp. An AED is external because the operator applies the electrode pads to the bare chest of the victim, as opposed to internal defibrillators, which have electrodes surgically implanted inside the body of a patient. Automatic refers to the unit's ability to automatically analyse the patient's condition, and to assist this, the vast majority of AED units have spoken prompts, and some may also have visual displays to instruct the user. When turned on or opened, the AED will instruct the user to connect the electrodes ( AED pads) to the patient. Once the AED pads are attached, everyone should avoid touching the patient so as to avoid false readings by the unit. The pads allow the AED to examine the electrical output from the heart and determine if the patient is in a shockable rhythm (either ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia). If the AED Defibrillator device determines that a shock is warranted, it will use the battery to charge its internal capacitor in preparation to deliver the shock. This system is not only safer (charging only when required), but also allows for a faster delivery of the electrical current. When charged, the device instructs the user to ensure no one is touching the victim and then to press a button to deliver the shock; human intervention is usually required to deliver the shock to the patient in order to avoid the possibility of accidental injury to another person (which can result from a responder or bystander touching the patient at the time of ths shock). Depending on the AED manufacturer and particular defibrillator model, after the shock is delivered most AEDs will analyze the victim and either instruct that CPR be given, or administer another shock. Many AEDs have an 'event memory' which store the ECG of the patient along with details of the time the unit was activated and the number and strength of any shocks delivered. Some AEDs also have voice recording abilities to monitor the actions taken by the personnel in order to ascertain if these had any impact on the survival outcome. All this recorded data can be either downloaded from the AED to a computer or printed out so that the providing organisation or responsible body is able to see the effectiveness of both CPR and defibrillation. Defibrillators available to the public may be semi-automatic or fully automatic. Fully automatic units, AEDs, are likely to have few buttons, often activating as soon as the case is opened, and possibly just one button to shock, or in some cases this will be performed automatically. The user has no input in the operation of the unit apart from attaching the pads and following the prompts. Health care professionals and other trained responders may use a semi-automatic defibrillator, which is likely to have an ECG readout display, and the possibility to override the rhythm analysis software. This allows trained personnel to provide a higher level of care.

Philips HearStart OnSite AED has been approved by the FDA and is available without a prescription.  Philips supplies all HearStart OnSite AED accessories that are an integral part of a lifesaving solution, enabling the highest level  of performance for resuscitation needs.  With more than a half a million AEDs deployed worldwide, more workplaces, schools and communities place their trust in Philips HeartStart AEDs than any other brand when establishing early defibrillation programs.  Philips HearStart OnSite AEDs have earned this trust because of their clinical leadership in both early defibrillation and quality CPR and HearStart OnSite has been FDA approved.

Everyone who uses an AED at home or elsewhere should have CPR and AED training, which typically is a three or four-hour course.  Many organizations offer onsite AED training.  Be sure to find a nationally certified AED course, such as those available through the American Heart Association, American Red Cross or National Safety Council.
