The portable devices are used to treat sudden cardiac arrest, which occurs when the heart's normal heart rhythm suddenly becomes chaotic. A person suffering from cardiac arrest collapses, stops breathing, becomes unresponsive and has no detectable pulse.
The AED delivers a potentially life-saving electrical shock to the victim's heart that can restore the heart's normal rhythm.
