Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
Related Terms: AED brands, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Ingress Protection
A life-saving device that treats sudden cardiac arrest. Once the AED pads are applied, the device analyzes the victim's heart rhythm. If it detects a rhythm that can be treated, it allows a shock to be delivered to the victim to regain a normal heart rhythm. AEDs have become common anywhere people gather.
