This is important because any movement of the patient will make a false reading inside the AED. The machine is actually looking for a particular rhythm while the pads are connected to the chest. What it is seeing is very much alike to what is seen on an EKG. The AED will only shock if there are 2 rhythms present: Ventricular Fibrillation, or the quivering of the heart before it actually stops; and ventricular tachycardia which is defined as over 180 beats per minute.
