Which machine? Defibrillator or EKG?
1 comments

GP likely means defibrillator. EKG along won't save life and it requires training to read EKG. An AED has a built-in smart EKG that can identify shockable fibrillation. There is also automatic CPR machine that can do chest compression. However manual CPR is still light years better than no CPR.
