AED, also known as automated external defibrillator, is also known as "first aid artifact". It is used in conjunction with cardiopulmonary resuscitation to improve the treatment rate of sudden death caused by ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest rescue. The golden time is 4 minutes. If an AED (automated external defibrillator) can be used within one minute, the patient's survival rate can be as high as 90%. Therefore, experts call for widespread deployment of AEDs in public places. If the patient encounters a cardiac arrest and the heart is in ventricular fibrillation and cannot eject blood normally, then use the AED to give a quick shock "defibrillation", similar to restarting a computer, to help the heart return to normal and regular beating and resume ejection. .
The United States is one of the first countries to legislate the installation of AED automatic external defibrillators in public places. As early as the 1990s, states across the country began to regulate public places. An automated external defibrillator must be installed and must be available within a ten-minute walk.
Japan currently has one of the highest densities of automated external defibrillators in the world. As early as 2004, Japan opened the use of automated external defibrillators to the public. According to statistics from Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, there are currently about 600,000 automated external defibrillators in Japan, and about 1,200 people are rescued every year through the use of this device.
Nowadays, there are more and more AEDs in public places in our country. So, can ordinary people use AED equipment? How should this be done? To put it simply, this "fool machine" requires only three steps to use: power on, patch, and defibrillate. Early AED defibrillation, the simpler and more efficient it can save lives! !
