What is a defibrillator?
A defibrillator is a device that gives a jolt of energy to the heart. It helps get the heart beating again when someone is in cardiac arrest, and their heart has stopped.
You might also hear it being called a defib, a PAD (public access defibrillator) or an AED (automated external defibrillator).
How to use a defibrillator
If someone is in cardiac arrest, call 999 and start CPR. If you’re on your own, do not interrupt CPR to find a defibrillator. If it’s possible, send someone else to find one. When you call 999, the operator can tell you if there’s a public-access defibrillator nearby.
Anyone can use a defibrillator. You do not need training. Once you turn it on, it will give clear step-by-step voice instructions. Many defibrillators also have visual prompts and images showing how to use them.
The device checks the person’s heart rhythm and will only tell you to give them a shock if it’s needed. You cannot shock yourself or someone else accidentally.
