Paramedics typically use a combination of manual chest compressions and rescue breaths during CPR, often facilitated by an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) if needed. They may also employ advanced airway devices like endotracheal tubes or bag-valve masks to assist with ventilation. Additionally, paramedics often utilize cardiac monitors to assess heart rhythm and determine if defibrillation is necessary.

AED. Automated External Defibrillator. The heart has its own electrical system that fires and tells the heart when to pump, numerous things make the heart stop beating. But you can do CPR and essentially pump the heart for the patient but ultimately the AED will restore the electrical system by shocking the heart if you follow AED directions. Both CPR and an AED are essential for starting back up the heart, you cant just "ride the lighting" aka shock the patient like in the movies and tv shows. In order to actually bring somebody back you have to do CPR and use the AED.
