3. Automated external defibrillator AED is a portable type of external defibrillator that automatically diagnose the ventricular fibrillation in a patient. Automatic refers to the ability to autonomously analyze the patients condition. AED is provided with self-adhesive electrodes instead of hand held paddles.

4. Principle Integration of AED use with basic life support measure . When arriving at the scene of a suspected cardiac arrest , rescuers must rapidly integrate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with the use of the available AED. Interrupt CPR only when it is necessary to analyze the rhythm and deliver a shock.

5. WORKING Automatically Checks victims heart rhythm to detect fibrillation. Advises whether victim needs a Shock. The Shock (defibrillation) is an attempt to return heart to a more normal rhythm.

7. Functions of aed An AED is an electronic device that analyses the heart rhythm and if necessary delivers a shock , known as defibrillation. This needs to be in Ventricular Fibrillation.

9. advantages Recommended by current resuscitation guidelines . Widely used. Allows health care professionals to override the device and deliver a shock manually, independently of prompts. Safer, no risk of inappropriate shocks to the rescuer. Easier to use and more appropriate for lay-rescuers. Better compliance with resuscitation protocols.

10. DISADVANTAGES More complex to use for the untrained responders. More difficult to synchronize with CPR maneuvers for lay rescuers. Longer times until shock delivery. Risk of electrocution for the rescuer if inappropriately used. No possibility to override the device. Not recommended by current guidelines except for special situations.

11. conclusion The main purpose of our study was to determine the use of AED not only improves the survival rate but also improves the quality of life of the survivors after discharge. We concluded that the use of the AED programs in the community is effective. Our study demonstrates that people not related to the medical field can equally contribute to the improvement of survival rate using AED in our societies.
