NPC deputies suggested that public places should be equipped with a large number of AEDs. Is this a good suggestion?

More AED devices can better protect heart patients. According to media reports, a few days ago, a representative expressed the hope that the country could install AED equipment on a large scale like a fire extinguisher to improve the first aid knowledge of personnel in public places. Because heart patients occasionally have symptoms of myocardial infarction outdoors, and the golden rescue time for these patients is about four minutes, and a four-minute ambulance is definitely too late. If there is an AED now, it can be directly resuscitated by electric shock, which can greatly improve the survival rate of patients. For ordinary people, this may only be a very rare thing, but for the parties themselves, if AED treatment can be carried out in time, they can save their lives, which is the most important thing.

Just last year, a man fainted because of cardiac arrest on the Beijing subway. Although passers-by helped him with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the man died because there was no AED equipment. This incident subsequently aroused widespread public concern. Some netizens criticized that the Beijing subway, as a place with such a dense daily flow of people, was not equipped with AED equipment, which was the dereliction of duty of the subway. If there was AED equipment on the subway at that time, this person had a high probability. Can be saved. Subsequently, the Beijing subway also began a plan to install AED on a large scale.

According to public data, the largest number of AEDs installed in China is Shenzhen, with a total of more than 3,500. Moreover, according to the plan of Shenzhen municipal government, thousands of AED devices will be added in public places this year, and it is estimated that the number of AED devices in Shenzhen will exceed 5,000 by the end of the year.

AED, or automated external defibrillator, is called pre-hospital first aid for cardiac arrest? Life-saving artifacts combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation can double the success rate of rescue.

According to Guangzhou Daily, there are only about 20,000 automated external defibrillator in China, with an average of more than/kloc-0 per 654.38+million people. In Shanghai, in 20 17 years, the number of units per 654.38+10,000 people was 4.5; The number of units per 65438+ ten thousand people in Shenzhen in 20 19 years is 17.5.

Most cities in China are still in their infancy. Compared with developed countries, automated external defibrillator in public places in China started late, and there are some problems such as insufficient number, low awareness rate and few people who can use it. The data shows that there are about 540,000 patients with cardiac arrest in China every year, among which the success rate of rescue in big cities is less than 3%, and the success rate in other regions is even lower.

Automated external defibrillator (AED) is an effective method to prevent sudden cardiac death before hospital. ? Zhu said that according to the statistics of the National Cardiovascular Center, more than 80% of sudden cardiac death cases occurred outside medical institutions. Effective rescue must be carried out within the first 4 minutes of the patient's onset. Gold for 4 minutes? The mortality rate is extremely high, even if it is finally rescued, it will cause irreversible damage to brain cells.
