CPR and AEDs
PEFD maintains all Zoll AED+Plus devices on all department vehicles.
Information on AEDs:
AEDs advise a shock only for ventricular fibrillation or another life-threatening condition called pulseless ventricular tachycardia. The shock can potentially stop an irregular heart beat (arrhythmia) and allow a normal rhythm to resume following sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). AEDs will not advise a shock if there is no activity.
