    What is an automated external defibrillator?
    A device that automatically analyzes the heart rhythm and, if it detects a problem that may respond to an electrical shock, it permits a shock to be delivered to restore a normal heart rhythm. Abbreviated AED. Thanks to their small size and ease of use, AEDs have been installed in many settings (such as schools and airports) and serve a role in expanding the number of opportunities for life-saving defibrillation.
