AED (Defibrillator) | جهاز صدمات القلب بالكهرباء

An AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is a portable life-saving medical device used to treat sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). It analyzes the heart rhythm and, if needed, delivers an electric shock to restore a normal heartbeat.

What an AED does

• Detects dangerous heart rhythms

• Delivers an electric shock (defibrillation)

• Helps restore a normal heart rhythm

• Guides rescuers with voice and visual instructions

The shock stops abnormal electrical activity so the heart can return to a normal rhythm.

When an AED is used

AEDs are used during sudden cardiac arrest, when a person:

• collapses suddenly

• is unresponsive

• is not breathing normally

• has no pulse

Most cardiac arrests occur due to ventricular fibrillation, a chaotic heart rhythm that requires immediate defibrillation.

Why AEDs are important

✔ Saves lives during cardiac arrest
✔ Can be used by anyone with minimal training
✔ Provides step-by-step voice guidance
✔ Critical before ambulance arrival
✔ Improves survival rates significantly
