AED emergency equipment is what
AED is an automatic external defibrillator, it is a convenient, easy to operate on-site emergency equipment. The most important feature is that the user does not need to have a high ability to judge the electrocardiogram, as long as according to the AED automatic recording prompts to turn on the power, press the button to complete the automatic analysis of the electrocardiogram, and then defibrillation. Non-medical personnel can fully master it after a few hours of learning and then practicing, so AED has many advantages. Its shape is relatively light, easy to recognize, put it in crowded places, if the patient has a respiratory arrest, the use of AED will be able to shock the patient's heart stops, with cardiopulmonary resuscitation surgery can improve the success rate of first aid, until the arrival of medical personnel to give professional resuscitation measures.
How to use AED
1, turn on the AED, open the cover of the AED, according to the visual and sound prompts to operate (some models need to be pressed first power).
2, to the patient to paste the electrodes, in the patient's chest in the appropriate position, closely attached to the electrodes. Generally speaking, the two electrode plates are attached to the upper right chest and the left chest outside the left nipple, the specific position can refer to the AED case on the drawing and the electrode plate on the picture instructions. There are also AEDs with integrated electrode plates, such as the ZOLL AED Plus, which will be configured at the Beijing Olympic Games.
3. Insert the electrode plate plug into the AED's main jack.
4, start to analyze the heart rhythm, defibrillation if necessary, press the "analysis" button (some models will be inserted into the electrode plate voice prompts, and automatically start to analyze the heart rate, do not touch the patient in the process, even if it is a slight touch may affect the analysis of the AED), the AED will start to analyze the heart rate. The AED will start to analyze the heart rate. After the analysis, the AED will issue a recommendation on whether to defibrillate or not. When there is an indication of defibrillation, do not contact the patient, and tell anyone else in the vicinity to stay away from the patient, and the operator will press the "Discharge" button to defibrillate.
5. After defibrillation, the AED will analyze the rhythm again, and if it does not restore an effective perfusion rhythm, the operator should perform 5 cycles of CPR, then analyze the rhythm again, defibrillate, and perform CPR, and repeat the process until the emergency personnel arrive.
Precautions for the use of AEDs
1, AEDs can instantly reach 200 joules of energy, in the process of giving aid to the patient, please stay away from the patient immediately after pressing the energizer button, and warn anyone around you not to contact the patient.
2, the patient in the water can not use AED, the patient's chest if sweat need to quickly dry chest, because the water will reduce the effectiveness of AED.
3, if after using the AED, the patient does not have any life characteristics (no breathing heartbeat) need to be sent to the hospital immediately.
Guangzhou Metro AED full coverage within the year
September 5, Guangzhou Metro received a number of AED equipment donated free of charge. Together with the previously equipped AED equipment, all stations will realize full coverage of AED within the year. Guangzhou Metro will also update the information and location of the new AED stations on the app, and will also popularize first aid knowledge and the performance characteristics of AEDs to passengers.
