According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), every year in Europe about 400,000 cases of cardiac arrest occur, in Spain 37,000. In these situations, the early onset of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (a set of measures aimed at temporarily supplying oxygen to the tissues and mainly the brain) and rapid defibrillation (between 1 and 10 minutes) using a defibrillator improve the survival rate in more than 70%.
What is sudden death?
Sudden death is a death without any previous symptoms, the person may be performing any activity and suddenly the heart suffers a malignant arrhythmia, the victim loses consciousness, falls to the ground and stops breathing. Almost always, minutes before the cardiac arrest occurs, the electrical rhythm of the heart is altered producing ventricular fibrillation.What is a defibrillator?
An AED (automated external defibrillator), is a current-generating device, extremely simple to use, which in a very safe and efficient way can perform, when necessary, a controlled electric shock on the heart to reverse a malignant cardiac arrhythmia, of imminent death and in which the AED is the only effective treatment, as long as the discharge is applied within a time period of less than 10 minutes.
An AED Defibtech in the workplace, sports club, school, shopping center and many other locations can make the difference between life and death.
Technically, what should be the quality parameters of a defibrillator?
Design: With handle, easy to use and transport, without plastic covers, or housings that hinder fast accessibility to its elements (electrodes, start-up and discharge buttons). Ideally, the electrodes are already connected to the equipment to avoid wasting time.
Resistance, it should be thought that its use can occur in different environments and therefore, the team should tolerate the consequences of humidity, temperature, dust, as well as resistance to impacts and shocks.
Number of downloads you can perform, monitoring time and battery life.
Analysis of the rhythm. Once the electrodes are placed and the defibrillator is started, it should perform the analysis of the situation in the shortest time and be prepared to give a shock.
Loading time It is convenient that it is the smallest possible..
