Yes. After first calling an ambulance, apply the suction pads and leads as directed. This allows the AED to monitor and record the heart action, and direct further if a shock is required. A shock will ONLY be delivered if the heart is in fibrilllation. If there is no pulse, CPR should be started until help arrives, regardless of if the AED tells you 'no shock required', this is because, as mentioned before, the AED is only effective in fibrillation.

AED. Automated External Defibrillator. The heart has its own electrical system that fires and tells the heart when to pump, numerous things make the heart stop beating. But you can do CPR and essentially pump the heart for the patient but ultimately the AED will restore the electrical system by shocking the heart if you follow AED directions. Both CPR and an AED are essential for starting back up the heart, you cant just "ride the lighting" aka shock the patient like in the movies and tv shows. In order to actually bring somebody back you have to do CPR and use the AED.
