Sudden
heart attacks and cardiac arrests have become the major reason of death for
millions of people in the world. But, with the recent advancements in technology,
this disheartening ratio can be reduced and that technology is AED or Automated
External Defibrillator. So, what is AED? It is basically a portable device that
helps to check your heart rhythm. You may have seen doctors give electric
shocks to patient to restore their normal heart rhythm. AED also has that
feature where you can send electric shocks in times of emergency. So, what
makes AED such a desirable device these days? Let’s find out.
·
Carry anywhere
– AEDs are fully portable and because of their lightweight, you will be able to
carry them wherever you go. Their make and design is done in a way so that you
can carry the device easily.
·
Easy to use –
there are many companies that provide AED program where you get to learn
the basics of using the device. It is not at all complicated to use, but since
it has to be used in case of emergencies, it is important that you take into
consideration the condition of the person or the symptoms and then apply the electric
shock or check the heart rhythm.
·
Non-automated shocks
– if you thought that the machine works automatically and you will just have to
touch the device on the person to give him the required electric shock, then
you are wrong. The machine has a non-automated shock button that restricts the
chances of giving electric shocks by accident. Also, you will have to take care
of the bystanders around while using the device.
·
Low maintenance –
this is one of the biggest reasons why AED machines have become the best seller
in the last few years. They have four-year standby life which means you need
not pay attention to its maintenance for four long years. There are many
companies that have AED devices with more battery power. Once the battery life
comes to an end, you can get a new battery and keep using it for another 4
year.
