AED is defibrillator.
AED can effectively use electrical energy to detect cardiac arrhythmia instrument, belongs to the clinical rescue commonly used instruments, through the instrument's relatively high degree of analysis, accuracy is better, aed is an automatic external defibrillator, can be used as an external electrical machine to diagnose the patient's cardiac arrhythmia, to give the corresponding electric shock defibrillation, treatment used in the clinical rescue of patients with sudden cardiac arrest commonly used Medical equipment.
AED can be widely used in a variety of public **** places, such as schools, shopping malls, train stations, airports, subway stations, etc., many patients with cardiac arrest may be in a short period of time oxygen deprivation, and wait until the ambulance to the ambulance has been missed the best time to rescue, and the AED and cardiopulmonary resuscitation can be for the rescue of the patient to win valuable time.
Precautions for using an AED:
1. If the patient is in the water, pull him or her out of the water; if his or her chest is covered with water, or if he or she is lying on snow or in a small puddle of water, wipe his or her chest and then put on the electrode pads quickly.
2. If there is hair on the patient's chest, which may prevent the electrode pads from sticking to the skin, you can use the razor in the AED's carrying case to shave off the hair on the area where the electrode pads are placed.
3. If you find a hard lump under the skin of the patient's upper chest or abdomen that is about half the size of a piece of cardboard, it may be an implantable defibrillator/pacemaker, so avoid placing the AED electrode pads directly on the implanted device. Do not place the electrode pads on a medication patch either; the patch may prevent the transfer of energy from the electrode pads to the heart.
