AEDs are portable electronic devices that automatically diagnose the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias in a patient. The AED analyzes the victim’s heart then determines if defibrillation should be administered. The machine applies electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia so the heart can reestablish an effective rhythm. The process which is called defibrillation is said to be more effective than CPR. It is also easier to use with voice prompts and visual indicators to guide the rescuer through the resuscitation process.

ZOLL AED is just one of the several AED brands in the market. ZOLL AED plus has a unique graphical interface that combines pictures and voice prompts to guide the rescuer through every step.
