AED - AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias in a patient, and is potentially able to treat them through defibrillation. With simple audio and visual commands, AEDs are designed to be simple to use for the layman, and the use of AEDs is taught in many first aid,first responder, and basic life support (BLS) level CPR classes.
