what is the difference between an aed and a defibrillator
Difference Between AED and Defibrillator. A defibrillator is a device that is used in defibrillation. It has been a usual piece in emergency rooms and other medical centers that is geared towards saving the lives of many patients who are suffering from heart arrhythmias, ventricular tachycardia (pulseless) and ventricular fibrillation among others.
The automated external defibrillator (AED) is a computerized medical device. An AED can check a personâs heart rhythm. It can recognize a rhythm that requires a shock. And it can advise the rescuer when a shock is needed. The AED uses voice prompts, lights and text messages to tell the rescuer the steps to take.
