Sudden death often occurs abruptly, and the location is often outside the hospital, where ambulance and emergency personnel often cannot reach the scene within 5 minutes. In such circumstances, the most ideal rescuer is the first witness trained in emergency medicine, and the most ideal life-saving tool is the AED installed in public places. professional AED supplier Mindray introduced the characteristics of AEDs.
For the general public, after tapping the patient’s shoulders and calling him, the patient does not respond, it can be determined that there is no consciousness; touching the carotid artery with finger pressure and finding no fluctuation, it can be determined that there is no pulse; observing the patient’s chest, there is no rise and fall, it can be determined that there is no breathing. If the above three points are met, cardiac arrest can be determined.
The only way to give the patient a chance to live is to give cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately after finding the patient in cardiac arrest and to obtain an AED to defibrillate the patient as soon as possible.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation: Through chest compressions, blood is “squeezed” from the heart to the whole body (especially the heart and brain) to temporarily maintain blood supply. At the same time, breathing is temporarily maintained by artificial respiration.
AED resuscitation: The termination of malignant arrhythmias (ventricular fibrillation) through appropriate electrical shocks, allowing the heart to return to a normal rhythm. After turning on the power switch, AED is voice prompts, according to voice prompts to operate it.
Conclusion
As revealed by medical authorities, the success rate of cardiac arrest patients has increased significantly from 5% to 40% after the use of trusted AED devices, and the survival rate of defibrillation within 3 minutes can even reach 74%. Thus, the importance of AEDs cannot be overstated. Visit Mindray‘s official website for more details on their AED products.
