AED no shock advised next step is to check for breathing & a pulse for 10 seconds. No breathing, no pulse immediately start / continue CPR until AED analyzes again.
The AED machine should tell you the next step which is to continue CPR.
After the shock, the AED will either say that another shock is advised or to continue CPR.
Check pulse, and if no pulse, continue CPR until the AED goes to the analyze phase again.
No shock advised if: 1. There is not a shockable abnormal sinus rhythm 2. Asystole exists 3. No shock is needed
Check for a pulse; if no pulse resume CPR. The AED will reanalyze in 2 minutes.
Check for a pulse; if no pulse resume CPR. The AED will reanalyze in 2 minutes.
Insure there is no pulse before you attach the pads to the victim.
1. Leave the patient go (and make sure nobody is touching the patient). 2. The AED will "analyse the heart rhythm" the machine will then say "shock advised" (or something like that). 3. The machine will ask u to push the button (to deliver the shock).
An AED is used to analyze the rhythm of the heart and determine whether it would be beneficial to the victim to administer electric shock. A conscious person suffering from minor heart palpitations will not get any benefit from an AED because you cannot administer electric shock to a conscious patient and the AED will simply tell you (at the end of its analysis) that "shock is not advised."
The number of shocks will depend on the results of the AED analyzing the patient. It will vary on the situation and protocols set up in the AED. You will not be able to shock a patient until determined by the AED a shockable rhythm exists.
Check for a pulse and breathing. If no pulse, start CPR. If pulse exists and no breathing, perform rescue breaths. If pulse and breathing exists, keep airway open & monitor patient.
Stand back from the victim and wait for the AED to give you further instructions or the paramedics show up. Follow every voiced instruction and DO NOT DELIVER SHOCK
