1. A Glimpse on AED
Due to pulmonary infraction as well as cardiac arrests the chest of the patient may compress and
respiration gets difficult. Doctors have a certain levels and rates that form the parameters to decide
the intensity of such an attack and the aftermaths on the patients’ health. Such CPR methods are
related to brain activities too.aed This is because medical science has two ways of declaring a
person’s death:
a) Clinical death-which is due to absence of heart rhythm and pulse rate depicted by the flat line on
the ECG; and
b) Brain death-which is based on the functioning of the brain popularly known as Coma. Brain dead
may not always be clinically dead and in case of clinical death the brain usually takes 3 minutes to die
along with the usual cell division processes such as growth of hair, nails etc., that continues for
sometime even after a person’s death.
CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation involves compressing the chest to about 2 inches at the rate of
100 compressions per minute in order to cause blood to circulate artificially through arteries and
veins.If the CPR is 30:2 AED is to be resumed for 2 minutes. It should be continued until the victim
starts moving one’s eyes and breathes normally. If one is alone CPR alone should be switched on.
Voice/Visual prompts should be followed. Attach the electrode pads to the patient’s bare chest. It has
to be ensured that nobody touches the victim while the AED is analyzing the rhythm. In case of shock,
the victim should not be touched. The shock button will then have to be pushed. Fully automatic
instrument of this kind will deliver the shock automatically. Voice/Visual prompts have to be
maintained.visit url for more information One needs to minimize interruptions in chest compressions. In
case there is no shock then the ratio of 30 compressions to 2 rescue breaths. Coughing, opening
one’s eyes, speaking, or moving purposefully and starts to breathe normally but eventually becomes
exhausted due to such jolts due to cardiac arrest.
