Hello people,

Hope you are all very well and entering in the Christmas Spirit.

Just wondering if any one can help, I have just completed my Assessors Course with SJA and have to do my assignments (its open book we can use any materials we want! I'm not cheating lol) and I'm slightly confused. I was always under the impression that AED stood for Automatic External Defib, which according to google and every training course I've been on it is. However, in the up to date first aid manual, it says AED is Automated Electronic Defib.


Any ideas?

Automatic External Defibrillator was what I was taught in ELS.

It's an automated external defib

As you can get internal (as in pacemakers and stuff like that) and external (manual and automatic defibs)

Thats what I thought.

Just a tad confused about the manual saying electronic! And if they are marking the assignments based on the manual should I put electronic?

This is good isnt it :/ lol

I'm a BRCS first aid trainer, I teach my students that it's an Automated External Defibrillator. All our assessment paperwork refers to it as such.

I shall assume the book wrong, and go with what I knew before.

Thank you all for confirming it
