Aed

(1) The 'fibs & vibes" around AEDs (Automated External Defibrillator)

The first successful use of defibrillation on a person was in 1947, by Dr. Claude Beck of Western Reserve University School of Medicine, in Cleveland. His experimental device required a large transformer and delivered AC current directly to the exposed heart of a 14-year old boy, who was undergoing surgery when he suffered cardiac arrest.
