The steps common to the operation of all AEDs in the correct order?

Answer 1

Here are the steps you would take if you were using an AED:

• Turn on the AED.
• Following the voice directions.
• Apply the adhesive defibrillator pads on the victim's bare chest.
• If the device recommends a shock, press the shock button.
• The AED's microprocessor will automatically determine if the victim needs a defibrillating shock.

A heart defibrillator should not be used in the following cases:

• If the victim has a normal pulse.
• If there is standing water anywhere near the victim or AED operator.
• If other people or yourself are

  touching the victim.

What are the risks of using an AED?

• Skin burns from the electrodes
• Accidental shock to the AED operator
• Abnormal heart rhythms
• Blood clots

Who can operate AED's?

With the new type of AED's, the victim's condition is automatically analyzed and if necessary an electric shock will be delivered to reverse sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). With proper training, nearly anyone can use these devices. AED's are very simple to operate.

Answer 3

According to AmericanHeart.org, an AED determines the heart rate of a victim in cardiac arrest and, if needed, will shock the victim's heart in an attempt to restore its rhythm to normal.

To use an AED, place the negative pad on the victim's right upper chest.

Then put the positive electrode on the victim's left chest/side just below the nipple and pectoral muscle.

The AED will then indicate if a shock is required. If so, make sure that everyone is clear.

Now, press the shock button on the AED machine to deliver the first shock.

Immediately following the shock, begin CPR.

Continue to do this until professional help arrives.
