Yes, a Philips AED can be used on a pregnant woman. It is important to always act immediately in the event of cardiac arrest, regardless of the pregnancy, as saving the mother’s life also offers the best chance for the baby’s survival. Fetal heart rate has no effect on the analysis because the AED’s electrodes are placed on the mother’s chest and the device is designed to read the strong signals from an adult heart. The fetal heartbeat is much weaker and is not picked up by the AED electrodes placed on the mother.
