AEDs (Life Saving Heart Defibrillators)

What is an AED (automated external defibrillator)?页面顶部

Automatic external defibrillator
 
 
AED是轻量级的, portable device that delivers an electric shock through the chest to the heart. The shock can stop an irregular heart rhythm and allow a normal rhythm to resume following sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA is an abrupt loss of heart function. If it's not treated within minutes, it quickly leads to death.
 
 
Most sudden cardiac arrests result from ventricular fibrillation. This is a rapid and unsynchronized heart rhythm starting in the heart's lower pumping chambers (the ventricles). The heart must be "defibrillated" quickly, because a victim's chance of surviving drops by 7 to 10% for every minute a normal heartbeat isn't restored.

Wondering if AEDs are hard to use? 他们不是. In fact, they are easy enough for the average sixth grader to use on their own. 在最近的研究中, it took 15 sixth graders an average of 90 seconds to complete defibrillation, compared to the 67 seconds on average for EMTs/paramedics.

 

As noted from the NIH website, "Learning how to use an AED and taking a CPR course are helpful.  然而, if trained personnel aren't available, untrained people also can use an AED to help save someone's life."

赛车的心 is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization whose mission is to increase awareness of and improve access to automated external defibrillators (AEDs). 赛车的心 empowers people to use AEDs to save lives during a sudden cardiac arrest. 

 

The organization's goal is to increase the success rate of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) which has been unchanged since the 1960s at less than 10% but which can increase up to 80% with nearby life saving heart defibrillators. Nearby AEDs is a simple solution to a huge medical problem because SCA can happen to anyone at anytime.
