Defibrillation, the process of terminating the fibrillation of the heart using a medical device or specific medication. In medicine, the term "defibrillation" is usually used to refer specifically to the termination of ventricular fibrillation by means of a defibrillator that discharges electricity into the heart.
The original defibrillators used industrial alternating current (AC) to defibrillate directly, which often resulted in death or injury due to electrocution, and therefore DC defibrillation is currently used, except for in vivo defibrillation (ventricular fibrillation) during cardiac surgery, which is also performed with AC.
Operation process:
1, quickly familiarize yourself with, check the defibrillator, each part of the keys, knobs, electrode plates intact, sufficient power.
2, the patient takes the supine position, the operator is located in the patient's right position.
3. Turn on the defibrillator quickly, adjust the defibrillator to the monitoring position, and display the patient's heart rhythm.
4. Dry the patient's chest skin with a dry cloth, and coat the hand-controlled defibrillation electrode plate with a special conductive adhesive.
