AED is the abbreviation of automated external defibrillator, and its Chinese name is "automated external defibrillator". It is a simple portable medical device, which can be used by non-medical personnel. AED can restore the normal heart rhythm of patients with cardiac arrest caused by malignant arrhythmia by discharging to specific areas of human body.
AED can be installed anywhere, and there is no restriction on the use environment. Ordinary emergency personnel who are not medical personnel can also use AED. At present, there is no clear requirement for the definition of first-aid personnel, and more often it requires people who have been trained in the use of equipment.
Extended data:
It is necessary to install AED in public places.
Sudden death often happens suddenly, often outside the hospital. Ambulances and emergency personnel often cannot arrive at the scene within 5 minutes. At this time, the ideal rescuer is the first witness trained in emergency medicine, and the ideal life-saving tool is the AED installed in public places.
In cities equipped with enough AEDs, the rescue success rate of patients with cardiac arrest has been significantly improved, from 5% to 40%, and the defibrillation survival rate can even reach 74% within 3 minutes.
