Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs):
AEDs are portable electronic devices designed to assess the heart’s rhythm and if needed, automatically recommends whether or not an electric shock should be delivered to correct the heart rhythm. These devices allow trained people to provide life-saving defibrillation to victims of cardiac arrest (cessation of a heartbeat, usually due to a heart attack). The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) recommends placement when practical, of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in sufficient workplace locations to allow initiation of resuscitation and use of the AED (the so-called “drop to shock” interval) within 5 minutes of recognized cardiac arrest.
