According to the American Heart Association, 359,400 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occurred in 2013. While cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an effective means for restarting the heart, the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) is necessary for restoring the heartbeat to a normal rhythm.
AEDs are widely available in public places, such as convention centers, shopping malls, and airports. Current devices are automated, lightweight, and battery operated. Taking a course on using an AED is recommended; however, the machine does offer voice prompts that communicate instructions on how to use the device, making it easy for even the most inexperienced person to respond during an emergency.
