An Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) is a life-saving medical device designed to analyze heart rhythms and deliver an electric shock to restore normal heart function in cases of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). It features automated voice prompts and visual instructions, making it easy to use for both medical professionals and bystanders. AEDs are compact, portable, and equipped with electrode pads to detect and treat life-threatening arrhythmias like ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Commonly found in hospitals, airports, offices, and public spaces, AEDs play a crucial role in emergency cardiac care.
