How to use an AED

AEDs are designed to be easy for any person to use including those with no prior medical training, and all models are similar to operate.

Video demonstrations on how to use AEDs are available online including one published by manufacturer Philips, on how to use AEDs similar to those in Council buildings.

Many surf lifesaving and other organisations also offer classes on first aid and use of AEDs.
