Heart Saver and ZOLL AED Life Saving Devise

I wasn't able to attend in a recently held Blogger's event providing a free workshop on Heart Saver or Basic Life Support. For me, it was very interesting since everybody needs to understand and learn some principles and skills in providing immediate rescue for victims of heart attack, drowning and chocking. 

BE PREPARED TO SAVE LIVES

• Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)  strikes Anytime, Anywhere, and to Anybody.
• 50% of the victims have no symptoms.
• About 95% of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital, if no immediate CPR  and/or defibrillation is administered.
• Save rates using standard support is 2% to 5%.
• Brain damage can start to occur in just 4 to 6 minutes the heart stops pumping blood.
• Survival rates of sudden cardiac arrest victims are as high as 48 to 74 percent if immediate CPR  and the first shock is delivered within 3 to 5 minutes. Ambulance/EMS 10 to 15 minutes upon making the call.
• Sudden cardiac arrest deaths increases yearly especially in people ages 10 to 34 years old.

 AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR (AED)

It is a computerized medical devise. 

It can check a person's heart rhythm. It can recognize a rhythm that requires a shock. 

It can advise the rescuer when a shock is needed.

It uses voice prompts, lights, and text messages to tell the rescuer the steps to take.

AEDs are very accurate and easy to use. With a few hours of training, anyone can learn to operate an AED safely.

It is the only machine that can restore a normal heart rhythm in victims of sudden cardiac arrest. An estimate of 100,000 lives can be saved each year if AEDs were widely used.
