Automated external defibrillator (AED) corresponds to automated external defibrillator in Chinese. This kind of medical equipment is different from the manual defibrillator used by professional medical staff in the hospital. AED is specially designed for ordinary people, so it is much simpler and more convenient to operate. Usually, just turn on the power and stick the patch on the patient. AED can automatically analyze the patient's heart rhythm and determine whether an electric shock is needed. Users only need to follow the instructions and prompts. If we can get the AED and give first aid 4 minutes before the sudden death of the patient, the survival rate of the patient can be greatly improved.
However, the use of AED equipment for emergency treatment of sudden death is only to buy more time for patients to wait for the arrival of professional medical staff. Don't mistake this for saving the patient and neglect calling an ambulance. The correct way is to call an ambulance at the same time of rescue, and try to use AED to rescue the patient before waiting for the arrival of ambulance personnel, which can greatly improve the chances of successful rescue of the patient.
Is there any AED method in Hangzhou? Good guy clause? The use of AED for rescue is protected by law. If the rescuer voluntarily uses the AED to carry out emergency rescue and causes damage to the rescued person, the rescuer shall not bear civil liability according to law. Such a rule will make everyone have no worries when they encounter a patient's illness, and they can decisively rescue the patient.
While introducing AED legislation, Hangzhou is also intensively publicizing and popularizing first aid knowledge and skills. It is hoped that in the near future, at least one person in every household will save and dare to save.
