While AEDs are invaluable in emergency care, they have limitations:
Not a Substitute for CPR: AEDs should be used in conjunction with CPR, not as a replacement. Limited to Certain Arrhythmias: AEDs are effective only for specific arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. Requires Regular Maintenance: AEDs need regular checks to ensure battery life and electrode quality are in optimal condition.
