The Role of AEDs in Sudden Cardiac Arrest AEDs are portable electronic devices designed to deliver an electric shock to the heart and restore its rhythm during SCA. AEDs analyze the heart’s rhythm and determine whether a shock is needed. Quick Shock Technology Time is of the essence in a sudden cardiac arrest situation.
