AED and CPR Instruction

An AED (automated external defibrillator) is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses potentially life threatening irregular heartbeats (cardiac arrhythmias) and is able to treat them through defibrillation (electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an normal rhythm). An AED is used in conjunction with CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation).
