Despite decades of investment and research, survival remains disappointingly low. Inclusion criteria were non-traumatic cardiac arrests treated with at least one external electric shock with an automated external defibrillator from the basic life support team and resuscitated by a physician-staffed ALS team.

Even if you don’t need formal training to use an AED, knowing how to perform CPR can increase the chances of saving someone’s life during a cardiac arrest. It provides directions, leading every step – verify breathing, shout for aid, hit the shock button if required. Training is important. You snatch it.

Why is defibrillation important Defibrillation is the process of delivering an electrical shock to a person experiencing life-threatening heart rhythms, like ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. The defibrillator administers a shock measured in joules to the heart at precisely the right moment.

The Role of AEDs in Saving Lives An Automated External Defibrillator ( AED ) is a portable device that delivers an electric shock to the heart to restore its normal rhythm. AEDs analyze the heart’s rhythm and deliver a shock only if necessary, ensuring the safety of both the user and the victim.

Key takeaways Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) increase survival rates by detecting irregular heart rhythms and delivering shocks during cardiac arrest. They analyze heart rhythms and provide shocks if needed to restore a normal heartbeat. This device focuses on high-quality CPR by offering real-time feedback.

AEDs are portable devices that deliver an electric shock to the heart, restoring its rhythm. Regular battery replacement guarantees that the device is always powered and ready to deliver a life-saving shock.

Several 200 J shocks did not terminate the VF, so a second defibrillator was applied for double sequential defibrillation with 400 J. Angiography was technically challenging as the patient was receiving CPR, but the cardiologist suspected acute stent thrombosis and initiated cangrelor, although no repeat angiography was able to be obtained.
