stands for Automated External Defibrillator.</h2> <p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">It is a lightweight, portable medical device that delivers an electrical shock through the chest to the heart. This shock can treat life-threatening and irregular heart rhythms known as Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) during a sudden cardiac arrest, and allow a normal rhythm to resume in the heart.</p> </div> <hr /> <h3 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">What causes a sudden cardiac arrest?</h3> <p>Sudden cardiac arrest is an abrupt loss of heart function. Most sudden cardiac arrests result from the sudden development of VF or less commonly due to asystole (heart stops contracting). In VF, there is chaotic electrical activity without mechanical contraction so that there is a rapid cessation of blood circulation.</p> <p>When the pumping action is disrupted, the heart cannot pump blood to the brain, lungs and other organs. Seconds later, a person becomes unresponsive and stops breathing (or gasps for air). Death occurs within minutes if the victim does not receive treatment immediately.</p> <p>It is important to note that cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack. Find out the difference <a href="https://www.myheart.org.sg/heart-news/heart-attack-vs-cardiac-arrest/">here</a>.</p> <hr /> <h2 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Importance of an AED</h2> <p>In Singapore, more than 3,000 people suffer from sudden cardiac arrest every year. Among them, 70% – 80% happen at home or in public places. While the first thing you should do when you encounter cardiac emergency situations is to call 995 for an ambulance, the average response time for an ambulance to arrive at the scene is about 8-11mins. During this time, the chance of survival drops by 10% for every minute that nothing is done to resuscitate the patient. In such a situation, bystander CPR+AED plays an effective role in saving the patient through the golden hour.</p> <p>Research shows that, while it is fatal, cardiac arrest is a <em>survivable</em> condition — if a victim receives early CPR and defibrillation. Early CPR+AED increases a victim’s chance of survival to as high as 60%*.</p> <p>AEDs make it possible for more people to respond to medical emergencies where defibrillation is required.</p> <hr /> <h2 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Where can I find AEDs in Singapore?</h2> <p><span data-color="var(--blue-10)">There are over 10,000 publicly accessible AEDs in Singapore. You can find them in many public places, such as residential, commercial and industrial properties, train stations and bus interchanges and community facilities. You can also find one AED at the lift lobby of every 2 HDB blocks island-wide.</span></p> <p><span data-color="var(--blue-10)">To locate a publicly-accessible AED, you can download the <a href="https://www.myheart.org.sg/myresponder-app/">myResponder mobile app</a> and check out the live map. During an emergency, the myResponder app can direct you to the nearest available AED within 400 meters of your location.</span></p> <p><span data-color="var(--blue-10)">There are also over 200 taxis and private hire vehicles installed with AEDs under the </span><a href="https://www.myheart.org.sg/programmes/aed-on-wheels/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span data-color="var(--blue-10)">AED-on-Wheels</span></a><span data-color="var(--blue-10)"> initiative, which increases the availability of AED in the community.</span></p> <hr /> <h2 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Who can use an AED?</h2> <p>You can.</p> <p>AEDs come with an in-built voice prompt that provides clear step-by-step instructions for non-medical personnel. You do not need AED training to use one.</p> <p>If you encounter someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest, call 995 and stay on the line with the emergency operator who will guide you through CPR and the application of an AED.</p> <hr /> <h3>How to Retrieve an AED from the Cabinet?</h3> <p>All AED cabinets are locked with a key to prevent misuse. In the case of an emergency, you will be required to break a glass to extract the key to the cabinet.</p> <p>Do not use your bare hands as you might end up getting scraps on your hands.</p> <p>Instead, use a solid or sharp object like a key or pen and strike confidently at the centre of the glass on the AED cabinet to break it and retrieve the key.</p> <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15094" src="https://www.myheart.org.sg/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Breaking-AED-glass-made-simple.jpg" alt="Breaking AED glass made simple" width="1155" height="647" srcset="https://www.myheart.org.sg/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Breaking-AED-glass-made-simple.jpg 1155w, https://www.myheart.org.sg/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Breaking-AED-glass-made-simple-300x168.jpg 300w, https://www.myheart.org.sg/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Breaking-AED-glass-made-simple-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https://www.myheart.org.sg/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Breaking-AED-glass-made-simple-768x430.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1155px) 100vw, 1155px" /></p> <hr /> <h2 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">How Does an AED Work?</h2> <p>When attached to a sudden cardiac arrest victim, the AED analyzes the heart’s rhythm and advises first responders on whether a shock is necessary. In-built voice prompts, lights and on-screen text tell the rescuer what steps to take to deliver an electrical shock to the victim’s heart to re-establish an effective rhythm.</p> <h2>Steps in Using an AED</h2> <div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9"><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/IaY8PrKISeg" width="958" height="438" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div> <h4></h4> <h4>1.

Turn on the AED and follow the voice prompt.</h4> <p>Put on your gloves, and shift any jewellery on the casualty’s body to the side.</p> <p>Roll up the casualty’s shirt and shave any chest hair.
