AED in Action | A 3D Look Inside the Body

This 3D animation demonstrates how an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) actually works and what happens inside the body when it is used. The real-life ECG strip of a sudden cardiac arrest survivor follows along, showing what happens to the heart at the same time.
During a sudden cardiac arrest, the heart has uncoordinated electrical activity and isn’t effectively pumping any blood out. An AED will analyze the heart, provide a shock and reset the heart back to a normal rhythm. Using an AED is easy and is the person’s only chance of survival! Simply by following the voice prompts, anyone can use an AED.
Action First Aid is committed to widespread access, awareness and public education about when and how to use an AED and perform effective CPR. Please share this video with all of your loved ones and friends as together we truly have the power to save more lives!

    Remember, the AED has a 70% chance of working if used correctly. The survival rate decreases between 7 and 10 percent for every minute the patient has to wait for defibrillation. It's important to get this useful gadget on site and utilised as soon as possible, even if it means having to pause CPR.

    @@thomaskoning3985 I believe if witnessed collapse, shock immediately. Otherwise, compressions are of utmost importance. Basically, if you witnessed the collapse, you're the only one there and you can get an AED on them within a few minutes, get the AED. However, in unwitnessed collapses, you don't know how long they've been in cardiac arrest and should immediately perform chest compressions. Most AEDs are in public places and there's almost always someone else around. In this case, start compressions immediately while someone else retrieves an AED and calls for an ambulance. I'm not sure about pausing CPR though. Compressions should only be paused for ventilation and when the AED asks to stop compressions to perform a rhythm analysis and possibly shock. I do not believe CPR should ever be paused.

    Even if it is a successful return of spontaneous circulation, the heart usually doesn't have enough force to pump efficiently and would be unlikely to show up on the AED anyway. Hence it's best to continue CPR immediately.

    Crazy thing is the heart can suddenly go into cardiac arrest without warning. If you see someone suddenly drop to the ground it means their heart has stopped pumping blood within the last 30 seconds or so. Given this is a reality every business should have an AED on site and should be required by law. If no one knows CPR then chances of surviving is slim especially as it can take several minutes for an ambulance to arrive. During the pandemic many hospitals was on diversion and there was a shortage of ambulances and EMT's.

    I know that obviously when you are at the point of needing this aed shock it’s because you are prob not going to survive anyway. But I always wonder how painful it could be to experience that sort of thing. Like if you get shocked and then start to function again but what if it shocks again or something I don’t just always gives me anxiety to think about. Or if your the person applying the device and somehow get shocked by the system as well.

    Don’t think that should happen if you follow the instructions correctly. Before the shock all you have to do is place the pads on the person, so there really shouldn’t be a reason to be touching them. But yeah, say you slip or something and get shocked I do wonder how bad it may hurt. Surely quite bad, considering the shock completely flatlines the heart

    For most cases if you are the patient in VFib or another shockable rhythms then you won't be conscious and therefore won't feel the shock at the time. However, if a successful shock was administered then once you regain consciousness you'll most likely have a pretty sore chest due to the electrical shock of the AED causing the muscles in your chest to contract quickly plus the pain from CPR. (source had AFib myself and had to be put under a quick general anaesthetic to shock my heart back into normal rhythm.)

    "you are prob not going to survive anyway" - If a defibrilator shock is delivered in under 2 minutes, you actually have a 60% chance of survival. You are more likely to survive than not. If you need an AED, you *will* be unconscious. You won't feel a thing. For the person performing CPR, the AED will say "do not touch the patient" in a clear voice. All AEDs I have seen actually have a button you have to press to shock the patient.

    @Bonnie I have heard of this happening. A woman was drowning so a guy pulled her out and if I remember correctly performed cpr. Not sure if she actually sued but I do know she at least threatened to sue and made a big deal out of it. I don't think it ever went very far. Unfortunately in today's fucked up world I could see it happening
