With heart attacks on the rise, it is important to learn how to operate an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). You can do this by getting an AED Certification, with courses offered throughout the Bay Area. Quick actions can save lives during a cardiac arrest. These are the AED steps you should follow for a non-breathing individual aged 8 (at least 55 lbs) and older. 1. Ask a bystander to immediately call 911 for help. 2. Turn on the AED and follow the prompts. 3. Remove clothing covering the chest, and place one pad on the lower left side of the chest and the other pad on the upper right side of the chest. 4. Make sure no one is touching the individual, and let the AED analyze the individual's heart rhythm. 5. Push the "shock" button if the AED determines one is needed. 6. Continue with CPR until first responders arrive. #CardiacArrest #HeartAttack #AED #CommunityHospital #Hospital #Healthcare

A groundbreaking innovation is transforming CPR delivery, significantly enhancing the efficacy and responsiveness of emergency medical services. The introduction of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) equipped with real-time guidance systems provides emergency responders with step-by-step audio and visual instructions, ensuring CPR is performed more accurately and efficiently. These smart AEDs also include features such as automated feedback on compression depth and rate, which are crucial for effective CPR. By reducing human error and improving the quality of first response interventions, this technology not only boosts the survival rates of cardiac arrest victims but also supports responders in high-pressure situations, making it a vital tool in emergency medical services.

This is a game changer for sure, and it’s life-changing for anybody who has suffered from a massive stroke, cardiac arrest (also known as heart attack or myocardial infarction), Or any form of condition where you are passed out unresponsive, and the professional has to provide you with CPR but does not have the proper space to do so or they need to move you rapidly. In the situations CPR is compromise because the mobility of the patient to get from point a to point B is extremely relevant, but having the chest compressions occur simultaneously is nearly impossible, so this machine takes over autonomously where it is needed most, and allows paramedics to provide their services as the fastest pace possible with limited liability of loss of the patient, because it will keep the blood flowing and pumping through mechanical means thus ensuring there is less loss of oxygenation to the brain and other parts of the body. #medicine #healthcare #selfautomation #automation #cpr #heartattack #stroke #cardiacarrest #heart #myocardialinfarction #coma #paramedics #ambulance #hospital #stem #STEAM #STEMEd #science #sciencenews #technology #engineering #bioengineering #edtech #AI #robotics
