AED in Action | A 3D Look Inside the Body
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- This 3D animation demonstrates how an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) actually works and what happens inside the body when it is used. The real-life ECG strip of a sudden cardiac arrest survivor follows along, showing what happens to the heart at the same time.
During a sudden cardiac arrest, the heart has uncoordinated electrical activity and isn’t effectively pumping any blood out. An AED will analyze the heart, provide a shock and reset the heart back to a normal rhythm. Using an AED is easy and is the person’s only chance of survival! Simply by following the voice prompts, anyone can use an AED.
Action First Aid is committed to widespread access, awareness and public education about when and how to use an AED and perform effective CPR. Please share this video with all of your loved ones and friends as together we truly have the power to save more lives!

AED:*Tazes Heart* Heart: OK OK Fine!
lollll
lol
Lllooooolll
That pfp... Have I encountered a fellow evangelion fan in the wild?
Better Version:
Heart: WOW I‘M GOING CRAZY LOL
AED: *Tazes Heart*
Heart: OK OK FINE. I‘m doing Normal Sinus Rhythm now.
Edit: With 80 bpm
Great video! Now I fully understand how an AED works.
This is the greatest animated explanation. I use it for training. Thanks for making them both.
me too!
Remember, the AED has a 70% chance of working if used correctly. The survival rate decreases between 7 and 10 percent for every minute the patient has to wait for defibrillation. It's important to get this useful gadget on site and utilised as soon as possible, even if it means having to pause CPR.
Are you sure that AED >>> immideate cpr?
@@thomaskoning3985 yup! Even the Lifesaving Manual tells you to use the AED as soon as possible! In fact, sometimes CPR isn't needed after a shock is delivered.
@@thomaskoning3985 I believe if witnessed collapse, shock immediately. Otherwise, compressions are of utmost importance. Basically, if you witnessed the collapse, you're the only one there and you can get an AED on them within a few minutes, get the AED. However, in unwitnessed collapses, you don't know how long they've been in cardiac arrest and should immediately perform chest compressions.
Most AEDs are in public places and there's almost always someone else around. In this case, start compressions immediately while someone else retrieves an AED and calls for an ambulance.
I'm not sure about pausing CPR though. Compressions should only be paused for ventilation and when the AED asks to stop compressions to perform a rhythm analysis and possibly shock. I do not believe CPR should ever be paused.
@@mrdoggy8801 Sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant that it is more important to have the AED start analyzing when it arrives on scene, and you should stop CPR as soon as the machine begins its analysis, instead of finishing your 5 cycles first.
@@w4rt953 Ah yes I think I understand. Yeah I agree, as soon as the AED arrives and the pads have been placed on the patient, pause CPR. I believe it should tell you to anyway, I'm not too sure. Sorry, just misunderstood.
Fantastic video guys. Particularly about the rhythm taking time to re-establish. I was always wondering why we could recommence CPR straight after the shock was given. This explains it perfectly. Thank you.
Even if it is a successful return of spontaneous circulation, the heart usually doesn't have enough force to pump efficiently and would be unlikely to show up on the AED anyway. Hence it's best to continue CPR immediately.
Beautiful story.
let's get the heart motivated with a controlled shock~
FNaF sister location reference I see
Bro...
damn, its always us steves. but seriously, life saving equipment such as the AED is amazing.
Outstanding information!!🙏😊
👌Thanks for making this ...great work team.
That's very interesting video thanks lot
Ventricular fibrillation is like when the heart is shaking like a bowl of jelly.
Amazing device
Awesome!!!
Another great video!
Very well explainex
Thank-you. Hopefully, a less intimidating piece of equipment now. 👍
CLEAR !!
Thanks 🙃
Hello, I have a question, What happens if we touch the body when the shock activates ?
Learning is interesting if it's not forced
And because our school systems force useless shit down our throats a lot of people come out of school not even wanting to learn and not realizing there’s more meaningful things to learn and experience
Nice
AEDs do NOT perform ECGs. They only 'see' Vfib and Vtach. The AED did NOT see a 'healthy rhythm' in Steve, it just didn't 'see' Vfib or Vtach. Please don't misinform the function of an AED :)
Aed:this is the police we will shock you if you won't pump blood
If only I knew this existed, my dad would be alive 😭😭
So sorry for your loss
Sorry
I am sorry
CPR and defibrillation only increase the chances of survival but they don't guarantee it, don't blame yourself for anything, things happen as they happen, you can't change the past based on what you know now! I had to do CPR for the first time on my dad and it was unsuccessful so I know your pain. Do not blame yourself, you did your best with what you knew at the time.
Crazy thing is the heart can suddenly go into cardiac arrest without warning. If you see someone suddenly drop to the ground it means their heart has stopped pumping blood within the last 30 seconds or so. Given this is a reality every business should have an AED on site and should be required by law. If no one knows CPR then chances of surviving is slim especially as it can take several minutes for an ambulance to arrive. During the pandemic many hospitals was on diversion and there was a shortage of ambulances and EMT's.
I know that obviously when you are at the point of needing this aed shock it’s because you are prob not going to survive anyway. But I always wonder how painful it could be to experience that sort of thing. Like if you get shocked and then start to function again but what if it shocks again or something I don’t just always gives me anxiety to think about. Or if your the person applying the device and somehow get shocked by the system as well.
Don’t think that should happen if you follow the instructions correctly. Before the shock all you have to do is place the pads on the person, so there really shouldn’t be a reason to be touching them. But yeah, say you slip or something and get shocked I do wonder how bad it may hurt. Surely quite bad, considering the shock completely flatlines the heart
For most cases if you are the patient in VFib or another shockable rhythms then you won't be conscious and therefore won't feel the shock at the time. However, if a successful shock was administered then once you regain consciousness you'll most likely have a pretty sore chest due to the electrical shock of the AED causing the muscles in your chest to contract quickly plus the pain from CPR. (source had AFib myself and had to be put under a quick general anaesthetic to shock my heart back into normal rhythm.)
@@conordaly8626 that makes sense thank you for your comment and insight. cheers!
"you are prob not going to survive anyway" - If a defibrilator shock is delivered in under 2 minutes, you actually have a 60% chance of survival. You are more likely to survive than not.
If you need an AED, you *will* be unconscious. You won't feel a thing. For the person performing CPR, the AED will say "do not touch the patient" in a clear voice. All AEDs I have seen actually have a button you have to press to shock the patient.

Wow for kid it

People love you to be appreciated. it inspires us to do more thanks for Dr Pius Ozigbe for doing what no other doctor could do. Thank for curing my disease ! you are amazing and prosperity thank God bless 🙏❤
👀 who?
Welp i just came up with an analog horror about the AED
Why would you want to purposely stop the heart? I thought you just shock to restart the heart. When I deliver sharks on Defibrillator as a medic after I Shock it tells me to do CPR why would you want to purpose? We stopped the heart even for a short time. How does that help?
The heart cells start beating the heart on their own due to their design. You stop the bad rhythm and give the heart an opportunity to reset and start a new good rhythm.

What if its a woman? I ain’t trying to get sued for sexual assault.
You won’t be, you saved their life
@@yutoob6181 Unless you live in Missouri. Then good luck with that lawsuit.
Ask for consent even if they are unconscious then do CPR. If they try to sue then you have a solid case since you asked for consent. Also in some countries like Canada there is the good Samaritan act which makes you immune to being sued
@@oliverp7375 good Samaritan law is also in the United States
@Bonnie I have heard of this happening.
A woman was drowning so a guy pulled her out and if I remember correctly performed cpr.
Not sure if she actually sued but I do know she at least threatened to sue and made a big deal out of it. I don't think it ever went very far. Unfortunately in today's fucked up world I could see it happening
