What the AED says as you use it

This is material to go along with reading the chapter on automated external defibrillation in American Red Cross CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer or American Red Cross Lifeguarding. It is the script of the Red Cross AED Trainers.

Please read the chapter first.

The AED will talk to you as you use it. It won't always say the same things since the condition of the victim won't always be the same and since different models say slightly different things. This is an example of what it could say. Follow along in your CPRFPR book on page 67, or your LGT book on page 134.

When you turn on the trainer using scenario 1 it will say:

o This is a training device only. No shock will be delivered.

o Remove clothing from person’s chest.

o Attach pads firmly to person’s chest as shown. (As shown refers to the drawings on the pads.)

o Plug in connector. (Connector light flashes.)

o Check connector and pads. (This is only heard if there’s too long a delay in plugging in.)

o Analyzing rhythm.

o Everyone stand clear.

o Shock advised.

o Charging.

o Everyone stand clear. (LOUD beep)

o Everyone stand clear. (Repeats if there’s too long a delay in pressing the shock button.)

o Push the Shock button. (Said only if there’s too long a delay after the prior prompt.)

o Shock delivered. (After he Shock button is pushed)

o Begin 5 cycles of CPR.

o 1 minute 30 seconds of CPR remain. (Said after about 30 seconds.)

o 1 minute of CPR remains. (Said after about 1 minute.)

o 30 seconds of CPR remain. (Said after about 1 minute 30 seconds.)

o Analyzing rhythm. (Said after about 2 minutes.)

o Everyone stand clear.

o No shock advised.

o Begin 5 cycles of CPR.

After the CPR, the unit does not recommend a shock, and says to begin 5 more cycles of CPR

This is the end of scenario 1.

Scenario 2 recommends another shock after the 5 cycles of CPR.
