An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable device that checks the heart rhythm and can send an electric shock to the heart to try to restore a normal rhythm. He emphasized that using AED to revive a cardiac arrested patient has 11 times percentage of success.
After the lectures, each of the participants performed the hands-only CPR on the mannequins provided by the SIMS. Participants who successfully performed the hands-only CPR were given a certificate and t-shirt.
