Steps to a Rescue

6: Give CPR

After the AED delivers a shock or detects a non-shockable rhythm, it enters CPR mode.
When the AED prompts...
"If needed, perform CPR as instructed. "
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: Analyze the ECG
on page 2-3).
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 expected CPR coaching, the rescuer must conduct CPR as
appropriate.
After transferring the patient to emergency medical personnel, close the lid of the AED to end
the rescue session. Prepare the AED for the next rescue.
