The operation of an AED (automated external defibrillator) is based on the principle of defibrillation, which is the delivery of controlled electrical impulses to the patient's heart to restore a normal heart rhythm.
It is important to remember that the AED defibrillator is designed for use by people without medical training, so it provides clear voice or visual instructions to guide the user through the defibrillation process.
