Be ready to save lives at any moment and from any location!
​​​​​​​
In emergencies such as heart attacks, choking episodes, or cardiac arrests, a quick reaction and correct information are necessary. The Automated External Defibrillator (AED), a vital instrument for restoring normal cardiac rhythm, lies at the centre of these situations.
​
Let's look at the significance of AED training, how to use it correctly, and how it connects to recognizing other potentially lethal situations.

What precisely is an AED?
​
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable, life-saving device that uses electricity to shock the heart in the case of cardiac arrest. Its user-friendly design and clear voice and visual instructions enable anybody, regardless of medical background, to use it effectively in an emergency.

Why Is AED Training Important?
​
Cardiac arrest can occur at any time, therefore every second counts; fast AED use, along with CPR, can double or triple survival chances.
-
Comprehensive Emergency Preparedness: AED training teaches you to detect the signs of choking or a heart attack, allowing you to respond more quickly and efficiently.
-
Empowered Action: Believing in your abilities to manage situations enables you to act decisively, perhaps saving lives when it counts the most.
Community Impact: Learning how to use an AED makes the environment safer by ensuring that more people are prepared to cope with crises.
How to Recognise and Address Health-related Emergencies
​
Asphyxia: Recognise choking signs such as gasping, coughing, and difficulty communicating. Escalation can be avoided by quick action, such as abdominal thrusts.
​
Symptoms of a Heart Attack: Upper-body discomfort, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Prompt discovery and request for medical care can greatly improve results.
​
Cardiac arrest, unlike a heart attack, occurs when the heart stops functioning. Understanding this and utilising an AED as soon as possible is essential.

How to use an AED efficiently?
​
-
Activate the AED: Turn on the device and follow the visual or auditory instructions.
-
Put the pads on: Place the adhesive pads on the patient's exposed chest. Proper posture ensures effective shock delivery.
-
Heart beat Analysis: Allow the AED to assess the heart beat. During this stage, ensure sure the patient is not handled.
-
Deliver the shock: If the AED advises a shock, press the shock button once everyone is clear.
-
Continue CPR if necessary: If the AED asks you to do so after providing the shock, continue doing so until assistance comes.
