Steps of a Rescue
6: Give CPR
After the AED delivers a shock or detects a non-shockable
rhythm, it enters CPR mode.
Important: If the AED is not operating as expected, it is
preferable to perform CPR without the aid of the AED than to
delay providing CPR.
After the CPR time expires, the AED returns to the ECG analysis mode (see 4: Analyse the ECG on
page 2-4).
If the patient is conscious and breathing normally, leave the pads on the patient's chest and
connected to the AED. Make the patient as comfortable as possible and wait for emergency
medical services (EMS) personnel to arrive.
Note: If the AED does not provide the expected CPR coaching, the rescuer must conduct CPR
as appropriate.
