How Does an Automated External Defibrillator Function?

AEDs are tiny electronic devices intended to support minimally trained persons in their operation to provide lifesaving defibrillation to SCA (sudden cardiac arrest) victims. AEDs are lightweight and quite handy to operate. Many are of a lunch box size with adhesive electrode pads attached to the victim's chest by the rescuer. These come with built-in safeguards and are invented to give a shock simply if the AED identifies one or more shocks are required. Visit: https://code3technology.com/

  1. How Does an Automated External How Does an Automated External Defibrillator Function? Defibrillator Function? AEDs are tiny electronic devices intended to support minimally trained persons in their operation to provide lifesaving defibrillation to SCA (sudden cardiac arrest) victims. AEDs are lightweight and quite handy to operate. Many are of a lunch box size with adhesive electrode pads attached to the victim's chest by the rescuer. These come with built-in safeguards and are invented to give a shock simply if the AED identifies one or more shocks are required. Defibrillator machines house the same sophisticated defibrillation technology that is practiced by emergency medical personnel and other health care professionals in emergencies. It is worth noting that the defibrillator user should be qualified and trained in basic life support along with different physician-authorized emergency medical responses. How does an AED work? A defibrillator is programmed to direct the rescuers correctly on what actions to regard during an unexpected cardiac arrest emergency utilizing voice & visual prompts. Rescuers fasten adhesive electrode pads of the defibrillator to the chest of the sufferer. The AED is intended to automatically analyze the electrical activity of the heart via these electrodes to determine whether a shockable rhythm is present or not. With voice prompts as well as visuals, the AED guides rescuers through the process of resuscitation, telling the rescuers when to give CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) to

If the AED determines that the heart of the victim may benefit from a shock, it tells rescuers to stand back so that they can give the victim a shock safely with the help of the adhesive electrode pads. Some standard AEDs will ask the rescuer to push a switch to shock and then 'stand clear' of the SCA victim. In contrast, a few other automated external defibrillators that are fully automatic will automatically deliver the shock to the victim after supplying rescuers a 'stand clear' warning. The shock temporarily suspends electrical activities in the victim's heart. The momentarily break from the previous electrical chaos is sufficient for the heart to restart its functioning with a regular rhythm. Not all SCA victims can be saved from AED, even after defibrillation. But immediate defibrillation, primarily when given inside three to five minutes of sudden cardiac arrest and collapse, presents the best survival rate chances. Possessing an AED nearby can mean the small line between the life and death of a sudden cardiac arrest victim.
