Before buying an automated external defibrillator (AED), you need answers to some fundamental questions about the technology. The AED Evaluations we've published provide most of the answers you need, but there are some questions that require additional comment. For example: Are low-energy biphasic AEDs as safe and effective as units that use the more traditional monophasic technology? Will rechargeable or nonrechargeable batteries prove the best choice for your organization? And should differences in units' ECG-rhythm-recognition algorithms affect your purchasing decision? We address these questions, describing the issues to consider and recommending courses of action, in the articles that follow.
在购买自动体外除颤器（AED）之前，你需要了解有关该技术的一些基本问题的答案。我们发布的AED评估提供了你所需的大部分答案，但仍有一些问题需要额外说明。例如：低能量双相AED与使用更传统单相技术的设备一样安全有效吗？可充电或不可充电电池会是你所在机构的最佳选择吗？各设备心电图节律识别算法的差异会影响你的购买决策吗？在接下来的文章中，我们将探讨这些问题，描述需要考虑的事项并推荐行动方案。
