Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation: An AED, or automated external defibrillator, is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It's a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, medical device that can analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.

Also called defib or AED in medical lingo but basically its the device we see in movies where the doc or the medic yells "clear" before zapping the person's chest to restore their normal heart rhythm.
