When is it safe to use an AED?

AEDs are designed to only release shocks when a person is suffering from sudden cardiac arrest. They detect the irregular electrical impulses of the heart, and when used correctly, can help shock it back into a steady pace. If you suspect that a person is suffering from sudden cardiac arrest, a defibrillator should be used straight away!

When is it Not Safe to Use an AED?

• Do not use an AED if the person is lying in water, covered in water or their chest is too wet from sweat.
• Do not place an AED pad over a medication patch or over a pacemaker.
• Do not use an AED on a child younger than 12 months without adequate training.
• Do not use adult pads on children under 8 years of age, unless there is no access to children’s pads.
