Guide to Using an AED

There may come a time when it is necessary to revive a person that has gone into cardiac arrest. Whether at a school, shopping center, casino, or airport, an automated external defibrillator, or AED, is a medical device that can be used in life threatening events. An AED is found in heavily populated public areas and is designed for any person to use in the case of an emergency.
