What is the recommended action during AED analysis and shock delivery?

During AED analysis and shock delivery, the recommended action is to clear the patient. This means that everyone involved in the resuscitation effort should step away from the patient to avoid interference with the AED's analysis and to ensure that no one is touching the patient when a shock is delivered.

The AED assesses the heart's rhythm and determines whether a shock is necessary. If anyone is in contact with the patient during this analysis, it could lead to inaccurate readings or endanger the safety of the individuals providing care. When the AED advises a shock, it is crucial that all rescuers are clear of the patient to safely administer the shock without risking injury to themselves.

Avoiding chest compressions at this moment allows the AED to accurately analyze the heart's rhythm without the interference that compressions can cause. While supplementing with oxygen is important in a resuscitation scenario, it is not a factor during the critical moments of AED analysis and shock delivery.
