There are several tangible benefits of using Automatic Electronic Defibrillator in CPR performance. All these are required whenever any person suddenly suffers from cardiac arrest because of which his or her heart stops beating and respiration stops. This may also be caused by choking, drowning, or any other reason. In such events, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has to be performed immediately after the heart attack within the next 5-6 minutes. Use of AED can be highly beneficial if the first aid performer knows to operate the defibrillation device.
It has been observed that using AED can yield better result in making the patient survive from the traumatic health condition in heart attack. Hands-Only CPR is usually performed to care for cardiac arrest patient. This is the CPR without mouth to mouth breathing. It is advised for deploying by people who have to handle an adult or a teen suddenly collapsing due to cardiac arrest outside hospital setting like workplace, home, or in a park. It follows two simple steps like calling 9-1-1 or at least sending somebody to do the same. It is necessary to push hard and fast in the middle of the chest.
Every cardiac healthcare provider and lay responder can make use of AED devices as an integral part of basic life support first aid treatment. You can use manual defibrillation as a significant part of advanced life support (ALS) therapy. Synchronised cardiovascular action and pacing choices are taken into account on several defibrillators and are also discussed in classroom sessions. Defibrillation is considered as the route of an electrical current transversely the myocardium of enough degree to depolarize a complex part of myocardium and then making the restoration of synchronized electrical action enabled. Defibrillation is known as the finishing off of fibrillation. To be more precise, it shows the non-existence of VF/VT at 5 seconds after delivery of shock. Whatever the case may be, the purpose of endeavored defibrillation is the restoration of an ordered rhythm along with an unprompted circulation.
Defibrillator technology has got a rapid advancement in recent times. It has also been found that AED interaction has been set up with the CPR performer with the aid of voice prompts. Future technological progress may facilitate more particular instructions to be provided by voice prompt. The continuously developing capability of defibrillators to analyze the rhythm as CPR performance proceeds is a vital step. It also empowers the saviors to evaluate the heart’s rhythm without any interruption in external chest compressions. It may also happen that in future, analysis through waveform may also make the defibrillator capable in making calculation of the most favorable time for applying a shock.
But you need to know the complete operations of a advanced AED. If not a problem, it is kind to carry an AED with you—as a CPR practitioner—wherever you travel. Knowing the balance of performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques through the combination of AED, chest compression, and artificial breathing including mouth to mouth breathing has now become essential because of the growing benefits of using AED.
