Medical equipment used by human beings

What first aid equipment do ordinary people often use in crowded places in western developed countries? AED (automated external defibrillator).

Automated external defibrillator, also known as AED, has a much higher penetration rate abroad than China. Automatic defibrillators are usually deployed in places where a large number of people gather, such as shopping centers, airports, stations, restaurants, gymnasiums, schools and emergency medical services.

In Asia, there are many densely populated countries and regions such as Japan and Hong Kong. In Hongkong, hospitals, police stations (including emergency units), ambulance stations and shopping malls are all equipped with automated external defibrillator. Since 20 1 1, automatic cardiac defibrillators have been installed in all venues managed by the Hong Kong Leisure and Cultural Services Department.

In Chinese mainland, it is only available in airports, high-speed railway station, some subway stations, fire stations, rescue teams and military health teams, and some airlines are fully loaded; From April 20 13, this equipment will be installed in all stations, household registration offices, schools and other public places in Taipei. On June 20 13, Kaohsiung MRT began to be installed at Orange Line Station.

Extended data:

In the 1990s, the United States implemented the plan of "Providing Defibrillators to the Public" through relevant legislation, and placed AEDs in public places, requiring that automated external defibrillator can be obtained within 10 minutes and passed the training of non-professionals such as ordinary people. In Hong Kong, hospitals, police stations (including emergency units), ambulance stations and shopping malls are equipped with AEDs.

Since 20 1 1, all venues managed by the Hong Kong Leisure and Cultural Services Department have installed automatic electronic equipment. In Taiwan Province Province, the installation of AEDs has been promoted since 2000. By March of 20 15, the total number of aeds installed was about 4,000, which was about 7.4 per 65,438+10,000 people/kloc-0.

However, the aed delivery rate in mainland cities is generally low. At present, Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Tianjin, Shenyang, Hangzhou, Harbin, Haikou, Dalian and other cities have installed AEDs in public places such as stadiums, international airport lounges and subway stations, but the total number does not exceed 1 000.

It is understood that except for the Capital Airport, Beijing's railway stations, subways, shopping centers, schools, tourist areas and other places have not been installed; At the end of 20 14, Hangzhou put 15 aed in airports, subways and civic centers, and it has never been used for two years. It is also difficult to see AED in Wuhan railway station and subway station. At present, aeds configured in China are not allowed to be used by untrained non-professionals.

Therefore, it is suggested to gradually improve the automated external defibrillator (AED) and equip it in public places with large traffic; Allow non-professionals who are trained and skilled in using AED to use first aid equipment; Staff in public places should master the use of first aid measures such as AED skillfully and accurately.

Fenghua Daily-First-aid equipment in public places is still scarce.

Hubei Provincial People's Government-It is suggested that public places with large crowds should be equipped with automated external defibrillator.
