How to Use an AED

AEDs are designed for ease of use, even by those without medical experience. Here’s a step-by-step overview:

• Turn on the AED – Follow the voice prompts. The AED may turn on automatically when you open the lid.
• Remove any clothing that covers the chest
• Remove the backing from two sticky pads with sensors (also called electrodes).
• Attach the electrode pads – Upper right chest and lower left chest.
• Analyze the heart rhythm – The device automatically determines if a shock is needed.
• Deliver a shock if prompted – Modern AEDs will not shock unnecessarily.
• Resume CPR – Continue chest compressions as instructed.

• You notice obvious signs of life, like a pulse and breathing.
• The AED voice commands tell you to check the heart rhythm again.
• Another bystander is available to take over CPR compressions.
• Emergency services arrive and take over CPR.
• You are alone and too exhausted to continue.
• The area becomes unsafe.
