At present, the domestic public **** occasions AED equipped rate, relative to developed countries is still on the low side, but than the majority of developing countries and a lot higher, so for the time being, this aspect of the work or a long way to go, equipped with a rate of far from reaching the situation of universal equipment, let alone the popularization of the use of knowledge.
I. An AED is an automated external defibrillator (AED). Automated External Defibrillator?Not friends of the medical industry, may be relatively unfamiliar with the AED, in fact, the AED is an automated external defibrillator? Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is an acronym for automated external defibrillator. The full name is "Automated External Defibrillator".
See? Defibrillator? This suffix, those who have watched the medical theme of the movie and television, will certainly light up, out of the mouth: ? I know what an AED is! Isn't it the kind of thing that doctors use to electrically revitalize patients on TV when they don't have a heartbeat?
What we saw on the medical drama is actually the AED, although the effect of the AED in the drama is exaggerated, but there is no denying that the AED is indeed called a ? life-saving talisman?
Two, Hangzhou for the AED legislation to attract public attentionNovember 9, 2020, Hangzhou introduced the "Hangzhou public **** place automatic external defibrillator management approach", opened the domestic for the AED legislation precedent.
The news immediately sparked public concern.
According to relevant statistics, 80% of sudden cardiac deaths in China occur outside the hospital, and if the rate of AEDs in public **** places is greatly improved, then the chances of survival of the patients will also be greatly improved. The reason why the success rate of sudden cardiac death resuscitation in developed countries is much higher than ours is because their public **** place AED equipment rate is much higher than ours.
According to a survey in 2019, the total number of AEDs in public ****places throughout Hangzhou*** is only 604, and the prevalence rate of relevant first aid knowledge is only 24%, and it should be known that Hangzhou is a first-tier city, so the rate of AEDs equipped with such a rate of use, of course, will not be very handy.?
The reason for the low rate of domestic AEDs in the past is largely due to the fact that our AEDs are mainly dependent on imports, and imported AEDs are quite expensive, with AEDs costing US$1,000 a piece abroad and selling for up to 30,000 yuan domestically, which creates a great deal of trouble for the improvement of the AED rate.
In the past two years, China's domestic AED technology has also followed up, and with official support, the AED market in the country has also become competitive, so the cost has been significantly reduced.
It is for this reason that since 2019, first-tier cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, Chengdu, etc., have clearly emphasized the ?low rate of AED equipment? this issue, and have all formalized their work around this.
And Hangzhou legislation on AED matters, it is more means that the domestic public **** occasions of AED equipment, from the relatively preliminary stage, an extremely important step forward.
