Keep the airway open, monitor breathing and pulse. Breathing rapidly is probably a result of the victim going into shock. The AED willreanalyze in about 2 minutes. When the condition exists that there is no breathing, give 2 breaths and check for a pulse. If there is a pulse, and no breathing give rescue breaths. No breathing, no pulse, give CPR.

∙ 12y agoKeep performing CPR checking the pulse every 2 minutes. The AED will only shock if the victim is in V-tach or V-fib. It will not shock for any other abnormal rhythms.
The AED is not appropriate for trauma cardiac arrest as the MOI (mechanism of injury) is trauma and the trauma would have to be treated before heart rate can be restored.

Is an AED used to check heart palpitations?
An AED is used to analyze the rhythm of the heart and determine whether it would be beneficial to the victim to administer electric shock. A conscious person suffering from minor heart palpitations will not get any benefit from an AED because you cannot administer electric shock to a conscious patient and the AED will simply tell you (at the end of its analysis) that "shock is not advised."
