What is a manual external defibrillator?

[BarryJones]

A manual defibrillator is one of those machines you see on emergency medical TV shows, when the doctor places a flat “paddle” on one side of a person ‘s chest and another across the heart from it on the other side , yells “ changing” and “clear” so that everyone takes a step back and shocks the heart with an electrical charge to get it beating again. That’s a manual one. A newer kind, an automatic external defibrillator , or AED, is smaller, computerized, reads the electric signals of the heart and determines if s shovk is needed., and administers a shock if necessary. It is designed for minimally trained persons to use if someone in a public building has a heart attack.

A very unique device, of course I don't know who invented it, but it's just brilliant, we recently had one at work, the AED company brought it to us. Now it's a little calmer, knowing that if some terrible situation happens, you can try to fix it!

You should be trained to use one or you could hurt someone with this. They change things all the time just like cpr changes every few years
