In recent years, the "first aid artifact" AED has appeared more and more frequently in the public eye. AED is a portable automatic external defibrillator that can be operated by non-professionals. It can diagnose certain arrhythmias and deliver electrical shocks to defibrillate. When a patient suffers from cardiac arrest, defibrillation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation can be performed to avoid sudden death.
In the event of cardiac arrest, within 4 minutes is the best time for treatment, but it is often difficult for medical staff to arrive at the scene in such a short time. AED is different from traditional in-hospital defibrillators. Even non-professional medical workers can get started quickly after simple training. During operation, the device will issue voice commands to the user to help the on-site personnel complete the first aid treatment.
