WHAT IS AED?
AED is stands for Automated External Defibrillator. It known as a portable device that checks the heart rhythm and can send an electric shock to the heart. The shock can stop in irregular rhythm and allow the heart to resume to normal heart rhythm. The heart must be defibrillated as soon as possible, because a victim’s chance of survival may drop by 7 to 10 percent for every minute a normal heartbeat isn’t restored as normal.
