According to the Department of Health's statistics for the past 100 years, an average of one person dies of heart disease every 31 minutes and 50 seconds. If a patient can grasp the golden rescue time of sudden cardiac arrest and be immediately shocked, the rate of recovery of the heartbeat can be improved and brain death can be avoided. However, the consumer protection group survey found that the domestic public **** place to set up everyone can use the "fool electric shock device" (AED) ratio is too low, an average of only 0.17 per 1,000 people, calling for the relevant units should pay attention to.
AEDs are commonly known as "dumb stunners" and can automatically detect a patient's heart pulse and deliver an electric shock to restore the heart to normal functioning.

In the United States, the Good Samaritan Act was enacted in 2000, and AEDs have been installed in many public ****places to provide people with the ability to save patients from heart attacks.
China has also been promoting the "public electroshock (PAD)" policy of setting up AEDs in public ****places since 2000, but the Consumer Education Foundation of the Republic of China recently investigated the situation of setting up AEDs in counties and cities, and found that, in addition to hospitals, the total number of out-of-hospital AEDs set up in the whole of Taiwan is only more than 4,000, which, if calculated according to the proportion of the population, is 0.17 per 1,000 people (0.017%), compared with 0.17 per 1,000 people (0.017%). 0.017%), a far cry from the average of 2.7 units per 1,000 people (0.27%) in Japan, which only promoted "public electroshock" in 2004.

Consumer Council Chairman Su Jinxia said, foreign data show that if the patient's sudden cardiac arrest within one minute immediately to be electroshock, the heartbeat back to normal the success rate of up to 9%, each delayed one minute per minute the success rate will be reduced by 7% to 10%, 5 minutes after the success rate of the rescue is only 50%, if more than 10 minutes may result in brain death.
The physician himself is a member of the Medical Dispute Handling Committee of the Consumer Healthcare Foundation, Zhao Kai, said that the heart attack patients, if sudden cardiac arrest, sent to the hospital in the process of not timely administration of AED shock, the heartbeat recovery rate to the hospital is only 1%, but if the ambulance to implement the AED, the survival rate can be increased to 7%, and according to the experience of Japan, if the AED is applied at the scene of the discovery of the disease, the success of the first aid will be able to The first step is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what is going on in the world.
In this regard, the Consumer Council called on the hospitals, *** the relevant units should be more crowded public **** places, such as stations, schools, tourist attractions, sightseeing night markets, shopping centers, etc., it should be mandatory to set up AEDs and set up a clear sign, so that the public can get and give first aid in a timely manner.
In order to ensure that the AED first aid management system, Su Jinxia believes that, in addition to amending the law to require public **** places to strengthen the setup of the AED, *** the relevant units should also be compared to Japan, the AED training course into the education of children under 18 years of age in the content, so that everyone can learn to understand the first aid knowledge of the AED, in the case of emergency, to save a person's life.
