How To Use The AED!

"Call 9-1-1! Grab the AED. Hopefully  you have never had to yell out these words but if needed; wouldn't it be comforting to know that you were aware of the specific steps? 
A recent study conducted in Denmark asserted that CPR, if done immediately, can result in a 30% lower risk of rehabilitation and/or brain damage. Since research indicates that 70% of all cardiac arrest occurs at home, a family member, caregiver, or friend might often be the home administering CPR an using an AED.
The use of the AED is critical as the life of a person is often dependent on its use. You may have seen one in your local grocery store, a movie theatre, a shopping mall, an airport and even your place of employment. But the question is.....do you know how to use it? There are fully automatic versions as well as semi-automatic and the AED prompts will guide you and tell you what to do next.
So your probably wondering; well, what exactly does the AED do? The AED's built in computer analyzes the heart rhythm and determines whether an electrical shock is needed.
