Automatic External Defibrillator ( AED)
can be used by inexperienced people; they can increase survival in sudden cardiac arrest by up to 75 percent by delivering a life-saving shock within the first few minutes of cardiac arrest. These portable devices are sometimes found in public places such as shopping malls, golf courses, businesses, airports, airplanes, casinos, convention centers, hotels, sports venues and schools. Nevertheless...
AEDs are not yet widely available.

Measures
Make sure, you and the victim on the ground, are not in danger!
1.Approach and touch the affected person to check awareness
2.If the injured is unconscious, shout “help” loudly to alert bystanders to the emergency situation
3.Check breathing!
4.If breathing is normal: bring the person in a “stable side position” and then call 1669
5.If normal breathing is NOT detectable or there is doubt about this, an unconscious person must be assumed to be in cardiac arrest.
“CPR must then be started immediately”
6.As soon as an AED is available, turn it on and follow the instructions;
7.Remove all necessary clothing from patient's chest; anything containing metal should be removed from the area, including underwire bras.
8.Correctly place AED pads on bare chest
9.The AED analyses heart rhythm
10.Listen to AED instructions
Do not leave the victim and wait for paramedics.
