What is a medical AED?

What should you do when you are using an AED on adult victim and the AED says no shock indicated?

  • Answer:

    If the AED tells you that shock is not indicated but you still cannot detect a pulse, you should continue CPR for approximately 2 minutes then check again for vital signs. This may happen if the heart is beating but is doing so irregularly, which means that blood and oxygen are still not being circulated properly and the victim will benefit from CPR.
