What is a Mikey?
A Mikey is a Public Access Defibrillator (PAD), also called an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). Defibrillator can hard to spell and even harder to say, so we call them MIKEYs
.
An AED is a portable user-friendly electronic device that automatically diagnoses potentially life-threatening heart rhythms. If the AED detects a problem that may respond positively to an electric shock, it permits a shock to be delivered to restore a normal heart rhythm.
You don’t have to be a medical professional to use an Mikey to save a life!
AEDs provide simple audio and visual instructions and are designed for use by laypersons. Some AEDs advise the operator to press a button to deliver the shock. Other AEDs automatically provide a shock if the heart is in a fatal rhythm.
Using a Mikey (defibrillator) can increase a victim’s chance of survival by up to 50%!
Hundreds of lives are saved each year through public access defibrillation. With your help, the numbers can be higher.



As part of the Mikey On Board program, all TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Canada moving trucks are now equipped with a MIKEY defibrillator.
