Defibrillator Reviews: How to Choose the Best AED or Defibrillator for You
There are a bunch of automatic defibrillators on the market, and it can be a difficult decision to choose which defibrillator is best for your home or facility. A defibrillator helps control fast heartbeats and regulate the rhythm of a heart by delivering electric shocks to the heart. For a cardiac arrest patient, the difference between life and death could be the proper use of a defibrillator to give their heart a "jump start' before medical attention can be given. Oftentimes, if a defibrillator isn't used before an ambulance arrives, the patient's likelihood of surviving is much less than if one is used. Most states have local laws that require some public facilities to have an AED station on site. There are six large defibrillator manufacturers:- Cardiac Science
- Defibtech
- Heartsine
- Philips
- Physio-Control (previously Medtronic)
