What is sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)?
Sudden cardiac arrest is a life-threatening condition where the heart suddenly stops beating, usually due to an abnormal rhythm like ventricular fibrillation (VF). Without immediate treatment, SCA leads to death within minutes. An AED like the ZOLL AED Plus is designed to treat SCA quickly and effectively.

Who is at risk of SCA?
SCA can affect anyone at any time—regardless of age or health status. Although more common in older adults, young and healthy individuals are also at risk, making public access defibrillators essential.

Is SCA the same as a heart attack?
No. A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked. SCA is an electrical malfunction causing the heart to stop. A heart attack can sometimes lead to SCA.

What is an AED?
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable device that checks the heart rhythm and delivers a shock if needed. The ZOLL AED Plus features Real CPR Help technology to guide even untrained users.

What if I forget how to use the AED?
The ZOLL AED Plus provides audio and visual prompts, walking you through every step. Even in a high-stress emergency, this defibrillator makes lifesaving treatment more accessible.

Should I do CPR first or apply the AED pads?
Begin CPR immediately. Once the AED arrives, apply the pads and follow its instructions. The ZOLL AED Plus tells you when to resume CPR and when to stay clear.

Why is CPR still needed if an AED is used?
CPR keeps blood circulating to the brain and organs while waiting for defibrillation. Combining CPR and defibrillation gives the best chance of survival.

Is it safe to use an AED on someone?
Yes. AEDs are designed to be used on unresponsive, non-breathing individuals. They only deliver a shock if a shockable rhythm is detected.

Can I be sued for using an AED?
Good Samaritan laws protect individuals who provide emergency aid. In the UK, using an AED in good faith to help someone in cardiac arrest is considered reasonable and responsible.

When should I use an AED?
Use an AED when someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally. Early defibrillation saves lives.
