AED-hjärtstartare / hjärtstartare


Explanation:
Why not use an established word that is Swedish and easy to understand? The acronym "AED" can be explained separately. 278,000 Google hits for "hjärtstartare" versus less than 50,000 for "automatisk extern defibrillator" - I would go with the more used term.

Example sentence(s):
  • I grundkursen ... Med tillägget AED-Hjärtstartare får du också en kort intruktion till hur en hjärtstartare fungerar.
