Especially suited to public spaces, fully automatic defibrillators can be used by any individual. These units generally offer voice prompts and/or visual instructions. After the defibrillator has analysed the patient’s heart rhythm it will automatically administer a shock to the patient if one is required.
The level of guidance and automation built into these devices means they can be used by anybody capable of handling the unit and following the instructions. This makes fully automatic defibrillators an excellent choice for use within the community.
