Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) save countless lives in cardiac arrest emergencies. These equipment are very easy to use, and non-medical staff can handle them well. As most medical personnelv are not available in our society, AEDs can be used by everyone.

An AED is an easy-to-use machine that involves the use of electrodes and electrical shocks. The defibrillator machine itself needs a little technical knowledge to operate, but the electrode application does not. Hence, with the help of proper training and guidance on the use of this machine, bystanders can easily use it and help out people in need. This, in turn, is leading to an increase in demand for such lifesaving devices.

The market for defibrillators is expanding significantly with awareness among people rising rapidly. Countries are introducing this machine in various public places such as railway stations and airports, and are including defibrillators in educational institutes and hospitals, alike. Movie theatres and public places like churches and clubs are also following this initiative.

Overall, no one wants to lose their lives and trained medical staff is not available everywhere. Thus, by educating the masses, they can also extend a helping hand to those in need and lengthen their lives.
