The Philips AED cabinet features allows access to the defibrillator in the event of SCA with an alarm to prevent theft of the defib. The Philips Heartstart Aed itself provides real CPR Help that provides you feedback while you do CPR. This smart gadget tells you to push harder if you are not doing sufficient pressure, it tells you to push faster if you are not pushing at the desired rate. If you are pushing with accurate pressure, the voice prompts will advise you with Good Compressions feedback. Aside from that, it also shows you real time depth of each compression. When heart compression halts, the Onsite Aed prompts you to continue it.

· Certain routines should to be followed for adult CPR, such as ensuring if the scene is secured, taking care if the victim is lying on a flat surface and that he is not lying face down. The responder then needs to know if the victim is breathing normally or else CPR is required.
· For using Automatic Defibrillators, the rescuer is required to turn on the Heart start AED and follow the voice prompts. The next step is to put pads, and care must be taken that pads meant for a child are not used on adult and the other way around. The proper disposition of pads is also important and the rescuer can readily know how to secure the pads exactly by seeing the picture on the packaging.
· While delivering shock, it is responsibility of the responder to make sure that nobody is touching the patient including the responder himself as the electric shock may be potentially fatal. If the FR AED shows that no shock is needed, then the rescuer is required to perform CPR only. The responder is required to follow the same steps in case the victim is a child except he should remember to attach the pads meant for child and not an adult.
A individual of any age group and fitness level may become a victim of sudden cardiac arrest. In case of a cardiac attack only half of the victims require a shock; others need CPR or Cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The purpose of CPR is to maintain flow of oxygenated blood to brain and other vital organs. Earlier, CPR involved chest compressions and artificial respiration or mouth-to-mouth. In March 2008, American Heart Association supported that adult victims of sudden cardiac attack needed only chest compressions without any artificial respiration.
