If you buy them online through a site like AEDAdvocates.com, they range from $1295-1720. However, if you contact the vendor, they'll usually have some special going on.
Just keep in mind, there are very different models, and the CPR standard changes every 5 years, which means the AED will need to be upgraded regularly. Most are field upgradable and just requires a software update (usually free), however the "home models" that many people get because they're the least expensive aren't currently field upgradable, which means you'd need to send it in which can be quite costly.
Pacemakers and defibrillators provide electrical impulses to the heart, which can return the heart beat to a normal rhythm.
its a medical tool which you can reanimate
There are specific companies that would stock automatic external defibrillators. Companies that stock these defibrillators would include AED Professionals.

A Automated External Defibrillators is a great idea for a school gym in case of emergencey. The gym staff will need to be trained on using the machine.
Monophasic defibrillators deliver a single electrical shock in one direction to the heart, while biphasic defibrillators deliver shocks that travel in two directions, typically from one electrode to another and then back again. Biphasic defibrillators are generally more effective at restoring normal heart rhythm with lower energy levels, which reduces the risk of damage to the heart muscle. As a result, biphasic devices have become the standard in modern defibrillation practices.
When a heart is said to be in fibrillation it means that it has lost its rhythm and is basically quivering. Automatic external defibrillators (AED) provide an electric shock to the heart which has been known to get it back to its usual rhythm.
i love chandles mum :)
I cannot quote exactly how many courses have AED's (automated external defibrillators) but many do have one on site. We wanted to put an AED at our course... but our lawyer stated that the would be a Liability in doing such.
Defibrillators themselves do not leave scars, as they deliver an electric shock through the chest wall without causing physical cuts or abrasions. However, if an external defibrillator is used in conjunction with CPR, there may be bruising or skin irritation at the electrode pads' contact points. For implanted defibrillators, a scar may result from the surgical procedure to place the device under the skin.
It is called a defibrillator.
