AB  - The  algorithms  and  guidelines  of  the  American  Heart  Association  (AHA)  and  International  Liaison  Committee  on  Cardiac  Resuscitation  (ILCOR)  have  been  updated.  The  latest  guidelines  promote  the  use  of  automatic  external  defibrillator  (AEDs)  by  emergency  medical  services  (EMS),  police,  and  the  general  public.  The  establishment  of  public  access  defibrillator  (PAD)  programs  and  continued  development  of  EMS  protocols  make  it  necessary  for  receiving  physicians  in  emergency  departments  to  be  knowledgeable  in  the  current  recommendations  of  the  AHA  regarding  the  use  of  the  prehospital  AEDs.  These  recommendations  can  be  found  in  the  most  current  Guidelines  for  Cardiopulmonary  Resuscitation  and  Emergency  Cardiovascular  Care  2005.*
