AED is an automated external defibrillator (AED), which is a tool to help defibrillate the heart.
The most important feature of an AED is that it can automatically distinguish whether the cardiac arrest is caused by ventricular fibrillation or not, and if it is needed to defibrillate, it will automatically release high-energy electric current into the patient's heart to defibrillate the heart, and then automatically complete the resuscitation.
The sooner the defibrillation is performed, the better, for every minute of delay, the survival rate of the person will be reduced by 7% to 10%. And the entire process of defibrillation must be completed within four minutes. Unfortunately passed away Jin Bo, deputy editor-in-chief, the onset of the scene near the absence of AED, then his life can only be lost in the process of waiting for first aid.

In external defibrillation devices, the AED is like the "dumb camera" of cameras, for non-medical personnel, with more specialized equipment available when a doctor arrives. It's so easy to use that the American Heart Association conducts AED training sessions at community training centers in just three or four hours.
Participants in the training include not only firefighters, police and airline employees, but also the general public. But in mainland China, such training is still missing, and most people don't know how to use an AED, and there is no systematic training in its use. And in mainland China, there is a problem of legal protection. "Save a life, the person did not live, will I be blackmailed?" , these are the questions.
