AED represents a dramatic shift in the the way medical manufacturers
listen to the public.
Sudden
cardiac arrest (SCA) occurs when the lower chambers of the
heart (the ventricles) suddenly stop beating normally and
develop what is called ventricular fibrillation (VF). VF is
a chaotic heart rhythm where the heart muscle begins quivering
which prevents the heart from effectively pumping blood. If
this condition is not corrected immediately; death will follow
within 5 to 10 minutes.
A defibrillator
is the only known device/technique that stops the chaotic
electrical heart activity and allows the heart to re-pace
itself to a normal rhythm.
Automated
External Defibrillators (AEDs) now bring defibrillator technology
to the masses and allow immediate access.
The
Zoll AED Plus is simple enough to be used by a layperson.
It incorporates
a sequence of visual and voice prompts to help rescuers follow
established protocols for use of AEDs.
Although
reliable and durable enough for all the fire fighters and
EMS who use it, it's easy enough for a 9 year old to operate.
