Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are a life-saving devices designed to help treat sudden cardiac arrest. They analyse the heart rhythm and, when necessary, deliver a controlled electric shock that helps restore a normal heartbeat. Using an AED within the first 3 to 5 minutes of a sudden cardiac arrest increases survival rates to 50% to 70%. Modern defibrillators are designed to be simple and safe to use. They feature clear audio and visual prompts guiding everyday people through every step of the process of saving a life.
They are commonly installed in spaces where people would need quick access to life saving equipment. This includes workplaces, schools, sports facilities, shopping centres, and community spaces. Access to AEDs in public spaces can help save lives before emergency services arrive.
