AED lecture

In this month I have to make a small lecture about AED in my hospital.
I will talk about “how to use it”, “why to use it” and “when to use it”.
The AED (Automatid external defibrillators) was designed to identify tachyarrhythmias and automatically prompt the operator to deliver a shock.
The AED incorporates a rhythm analysis system, a shock advisory system, and external self-adhesive defibrillation pads.
When a shock is advised, the operator must take the final action by pressing a shock button.
They are designed only for use on patients who are unresponsive, not breathing, and have no signs of circulation.

Bad day or Good day?

Cold wind took my running motivation, but it was also the best situation to try my new windbreaker!!!


Yesterday a twenty seventh years old young man fell down with ventricular fibrillation "Vf" while playing football with his friends at a gymnasium. Immediately one of his friends started CPR and the other brought an AED and delivered shock two times and got the recovery of spontaneous circulation.
Soon after the emergency medical service "EMS" arrived and dispatched him to our hospital. while dispatch, he fell down several times and was delivered three times shock by EMS.
Finally his cardiac rhythm was Vf on arrival,so we continued to deliver DC (total was four times) and give several drugs for arrhythmia. At last we got his stability and he had no neurological deficit!!!
We could talk with him about his friends ,fiance and so on.
Great by standers, great EMS staffs and great our ER team!!? It was a GOOD day!
