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.
