How to fill out automated external defibrillator

How to fill out an automated external defibrillator:

1. First, familiarize yourself with the specific model and make of the automated external defibrillator (AED). Read the instruction manual provided by the manufacturer for detailed information on its operation.
2. Ensure that the AED is in a visible and accessible location. Make sure it is not obstructed by any objects or in a hard-to-reach area.
3. Before using the AED, assess the scene for any potential hazards or factors that may affect the safety of both the rescuer and the victim. Ensure that the area is secure and free from any potential dangers.
4. Check the victim's responsiveness and breathing. If the victim is unresponsive or not breathing normally, immediately call emergency medical services or ask someone to call while you begin using the AED. Time is crucial in cardiac emergencies.
5. Remove the AED from its protective case or packaging carefully, ensuring that you do not damage any cables or electrodes.
6. Attach the pads or electrodes to the victim's bare chest as directed by the AED manufacturer. Most AEDs have clear visual instructions on the pads to assist with proper placement.
7. Once the pads are securely attached, make sure that no one is touching the victim. The AED will analyze the victim's heart rhythm and advise if a shock is needed.
8. Follow the AED's voice prompts or visual cues. The device will guide you step-by-step through the process, instructing when to administer a shock or perform CPR if necessary.
9. If the AED advises delivering a shock, ensure that no one is in contact with the victim and press the shock button as instructed. Some AEDs may deliver the shock automatically without requiring manual intervention.
10. After delivering a shock, resume CPR as needed or as instructed by the AED until emergency medical services arrive. The AED may provide periodic prompts to continue with CPR until professional help arrives.
