Home AED
The association has been making efforts to promote public access to defibrillation (PAD) so that AEDs are available at all public and/or private places where large numbers of people gather. AHA is also making efforts to create awareness about the need and effectiveness of CPR training. Most people are not aware of the fact that in case of a sudden cardiac arrest, only half of the patients actually require defibrillation, others need CPR. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation helps in circulation of oxygen-rich blood to brain and heart. Even after delivering an electric shock, a typical Automated home AED will prompt the rescuer to continue CPR. This AED defibrillator is designed to be used easily by a lay person like other Physio-Control products.
It comes only in a semi-automatic model and is perfect for defibrillating a victim of sudden cardiac arrest.You get step by step voice prompts to guide you through the process while the internal computer gives you the heart rate of the victim. Philips defibrillator also features reduced energy electrodes which allow the rescuer to deliver shock to even an infant or child victimized by sudden cardiac arrest. It also allows you to store ECG data which can be transmitted to your PC.
You can choose between a semi-automatic and automatic model according to your requirements. When using a semi-automatic model, you’ll need to assess the victim and then switch on the device and apply the electrodes. The home defibrillator analyzes rhythm of the heart and prompts you if the patient needs to be defibrillated. The fully automatic version, on the other hand, requires the rescuer to apply the electrodes and it does the rest. It analyzes the heart’s rhythm and administers a shock if it is required. This device is a perfect partner for the rescuer in emergency situations.
Training helps you to overcome the hesitation and fear of using an automated external defibrillator. You can attend course by American Red Cross which will prepare you to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and you’ll also learn to use AED defibrillator. These courses are available for people of all age groups and can also be customized to meet the requirements of individuals or groups. By completing the cost-effective course by American Red Cross, you will become a certified rescuer with a course completion certificate which is recognized nationally.
It is important that the victim gets CPR until the EMS personnel reach the spot. Most people are not aware of the fact that not all the victims of sudden cardiac arrest require defibrillation. Around half of the victims can be revived by Phillips which involves chest compressions. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR is essential to help in flow of oxygenated blood to brain and other vital organs. It is important to learn CPR techniques and using home AED defibrillator as most sudden cardiac victims die because bystanders are unaware of what they should do to help the victim.

Sudden cardiac arrest can victimize a person of any age or fitness level anywhere, anytime. Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a life-saving device used to administer electric shock to a person suffering from sudden cardiac arrest. American Heart Association promotes implementing heartstart trainer programs successfully in schools, airports, railway stations, healthcare centers, offices, casinos, stadiums, restaurants and other places.
Using Help Aids for the Elderly requires some basic training that involves learning how to use AED effectively in emergency situations. According to a survey by AHA, most Americans are not confident of performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and using an automated external defibrillator (AED) during a cardiac emergency. AHA wants people to overcome any fears and take lifesaving decision. For this AED training is very essential.
