An Automated External Heart Defibrillator is a portable medical device used in cases of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) to analyze and treat irregular heart rhythms. Skyt® is a supplier that constantly innovates and develops, with advanced technology and professional services.
An Automated External Heart Defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device used to diagnose and treat sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA occurs when the heart's electrical system malfunctions, causing it to beat irregularly or stop altogether. During an SCA event, the AED can analyze the heart rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electric shock to restore a normal heart rhythm.
Here's a brief overview of how an Automated External Heart Defibrillator works:
Identification of SCA: When someone collapses or exhibits symptoms of a cardiac emergency, it is important to recognize that it may be an SCA event. If a person is unresponsive and not breathing normally, it is crucial to start CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) immediately and call for emergency medical assistance.
Automated External Heart Defibrillator setup: Retrieve an AED if one is available nearby. AEDs are often found in public places such as schools, airports, shopping malls, and other high-traffic areas. The device typically comes in a protective case or cabinet.
Turn on the Automated External Heart Defibrillator: Open the AED case and turn on the device. Most AEDs have voice prompts and visual instructions to guide users through the process.
Pad placement: Expose the person's chest and attach the adhesive pads or electrodes that are provided with the Automated External Heart Defibrillator. The pads are usually placed on specific locations of the chest—one pad on the upper right chest and the other on the lower left side.
Analysis of heart rhythm: Once the pads are in place, the Automated External Heart Defibrillator will automatically analyze the person's heart rhythm to determine if a shock is necessary. It will instruct you to stay clear of the person and not touch them during the analysis.
Shock delivery: If the Automated External Heart Defibrillator detects a shockable rhythm (such as ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia), it will prompt you to deliver a shock. Some AEDs may deliver the shock automatically, while others may require you to press a button to administer the shock.
CPR cycle: After the shock is delivered, the Automated External Heart Defibrillator will prompt you to resume CPR for a set duration, typically two minutes. It's important to follow these instructions and continue CPR until medical professionals arrive.
Reassess rhythm and repeat if necessary: The Automated External Heart Defibrillator will analyze the heart rhythm again after the CPR cycle and determine if another shock is required. The process will continue until professional medical assistance takes over or the person shows signs of life.
It's important to note that while the Automated External Heart Defibrillator and other similar devices can be highly effective in saving lives during a cardiac emergency, they are not a substitute for professional medical care. If someone experiences sudden cardiac arrest, it is still crucial to call emergency medical services and seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if an AED is available on-site.
