most aeds are set up to adjust the voltage based on the impedance, which is the: a. resistance of the body to the flow of electricity. b. distance between the two aed pads on the chest. c. actual amount of energy that the aed will deliver. d. direction that the electrical flow takes in the body.



Answer :

a) resistance of the body to the flow of electricity.

A portable device known as an AED is used to identify and treat VF and pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT).

  • To stop these potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias, the AED shocks the person through the chest. This enables the heart to regain a steady pulse. Both the general public and certified first responders can use AEDs.
  • An AED can assist save a person's life if they have ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.
  • A shockable rhythm will be identified and determined by the AED. You are not required to be able to diagnose the victim or read an ECG.
  • Anytime a sufferer is not breathing or showing any symptoms of circulation, an AED should be used. The presence of VF or VT will be determined by the AED. The AED will watch the victim to see if VF or VT develops if no shockable rhythm is present.
