Simulators designed for training users in the operation of an automated external defibrillator (AED) and its accessories. These simulators typically include one or more anatomic models of the head, neck, and torso with appropriate anatomical landmarks, a set of electrodes and cables, and a defibrillator that simulates the controls found in a real AED. A range of different simulators are available; some provide different rescue/emergency situation scenarios that present the opportunity to train and practice all aspects of AED use. Other AED simulators can provide the opportunity to train and practice the use of a specific component of an AED (e.g., applying defibrillator pads in the correct position). Anatomic models included in these simulators are available in different body types and sizes such as infant, child, adult, and bariatric.
