Automated External Defibrillators (AED units) are commercially available devices used to deliver a "shock" to a patient suffering from Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Sudden Cardiac Arrest, unlike a heart attack, is an electrical failure in the the heart's functionality wherein the heart improperly delivers oxygen-rich blood to the brain and other vital organs.
AED units range in prices, specifications, and functionality. Some devices deliver "automatic" therapy, while others are "semi-automatic." Additionally, AED units range in the amount of energy (joules) they provide, the directions provided to the rescuer during an attempted save, battery life, etc.
While AED manufacturers argue the competitive advantages of their products, all AED units save lives and buyers shouldn't be concerned with purchasing an inferior product or one that will not properly diagnose or deliver proper therapy treatment. The most important aspect of purchasing a life-saving product is feeling comfortable with one's selection. To do this, AED buyers should compare products by viewing an AED comparison matrix and test (through simulation) products they're interested in.
