An EKG measures the sinus rhythm of the heart. Doing CPR will not change the EKG readings. The AED will provide a shock for V-Tach & V-Fib to try to reset the heart so it will regain the normal sinus rhythm

How does a micraphone work?

A microphone is a device that converts acoustical pressure waves (sound) into electrical signals. All microphones have a diaphragm, membrane, or other element in that vibrates sympathetically to the arriving acoustic wave fronts. A sensor in the microphone measures the movement of the vibrating element, and converts the mechanical vibrations into electrical signals. These electrical signals can then be amplified (as in at a concert), transmitted (as in a radio station or telephone), stored (as in a compact disk or MP3), or processed (as in a speech recognition system). For more information, including the different types of microphones, follow the related link below.

How does the electronic siren works?

An electric siren is based on the principal of electrical energy and signals being converted into sound. Electrical inputs enter the a speaker through circuitry. In turn these signals are vibrate the air through the speakers function. Electrical sirens are in fact speakers, but there are mechanical sirens which use motion to drive the sound making assembly.
