How to use an automated external defibrillator (AED)

• If an AED arrives while performing CPR, apply it without delay.

• Place the AED in a position that will not interfere with CPR and press the power button.

• Pad 1: Just below the right collarbone
• Pad 2: In the armpit in front of the left nipple

If the pads and the defibrillator body are separate, connect them.

• When you hear the voice prompt "Analyzing...", stop CPR and remove your hands from the patient.
• If defibrillation is required, the AED will start charging itself to the set energy along with the voice prompt "Defibrillation required."
• If defibrillation is not required, the AED will say "Defibrillation not required." If so, resume CPR immediately.

• The defibrillation button will start flashing only when defibrillation is required. When it flashes, press the defibrillation button to perform defibrillation.

※ Note: Before pressing the defibrillation button, make sure that everyone is away from the patient so they do not get the electric jolt.

• After defibrillation, immediately resume CPR with a 30:2 chest compression to artificial respiration ratio.

• Analyze the heart rhythm and repeat every 2 minutes until the patient recovers or until the 119 rescue team arrives.
