The A in AED has to do with automatic detection of a rhythm needing a shock to reset the heart and let the natural pacemaker take over

Not to get to deep into this. But Trust me 😜 an AED can shock only 2 rhythms. V Fib or Vtach (pulseless).

Now the monitor that EMS carries however can cardiovert other rhythms as well as pace certain rhythms. But that does not require CPR. And is Totally different and takes more time to set up.
