What is the science behind the invention of the portable defibrillator?
The defibrillator was invented by William B. Kouwenhoven in 1930. He studied the relation between the electric shocks and its effects on human heart and tested it on a dog. In 1947 Dr. Carl Beck tested the technique on a human patient and saved his life.
What are the uses of AED?
AED is an acronym that stands for Automated External Defibrillator. It is used to stop the heart's motion via electric shock, effectively hitting the hearts "reset" button. The heart then, hopefully restarts with normal activity. An AED cannot be used when a heart is in asystole, a state of no electrical activity. Also, an AED cannot be used in a moving vehical as that affects the analysis.
