What is a portable AED?

Portable AED or automated external defibrillator is an electronic device used in first aid situations to shock the heart back to a normal rhythm. Portable AED first works by diagnosing dangerous cardiac rhythms that could lead to a heart attack or heart failure, and then by administration of controlled electric shock on the chest. The device can be controlled with minimal training.

UNLOCATED OR UNIQUE CARE RYTMM is known as arrhythmias. In some cases, arrhythmias may cause heart failure that quickly leads to death. A controlled chest shock, known as defibrillation, can interrupt the arrhythmia and basically reset the heart and return it to its normal rhythm. Quick access to this type of treatment cannot only prevent death, but to reduce the likelihood of brain damage or other complications caused by a lack of blood flow.

knowledge of the importance of rapid reaction, American biomedical engineer Joshua L. Koelker and Italian emergencydoctor Jordanm. Blondino created a portable AED. The average portable AED is about the size of the baby's backpack. His operation is so simple that almost anyone can use it. Most AEDs are even programmed to provide voice calls for operator management.

Many large public spaces have a portable AED. They are often seen at airports, congress centers and more and more often at sports events where the chest wound could worsen the existing heart condition. Despite the easy use of professional emergency respondents, they recommend that portable AED be used only by trained operators. Many first aid classes, basic life support and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) include the AED operation section.

portable AEDS sensory heart arrhythmia through a paddle. These paddles are placed on the patient's chest in direct contact with the skin. The machine monitors Heart defeated and thenDL to see if defibrillation can help. If defibrillation is necessary, the machine automatically serves the patient.

For the safety of the patient and the operator, it is important to keep in mind several basic tips when using a portable AED. Most importantly, due to the risk of electric shock, never use AED in stagnant water or rain or around. Never touch the patient during defibrillation. Do not remove the paddles of AED from the patient's chest until professional medical assistance comes. AED will monitor the patient and signal to the operator if other actions are necessary.
