Ventricular fibrillation is the most common cause of sudden death |
Nursing of Jesus Forsaken Foundation already has a defibrillator device to serve needy people at risk of social exclusion, thanks to the city of Murcia, specifically the Department of Health and Sports who runs Felipe Coello.
The Welcome Centre serves annually more than 20 years ago in the city of Murcia, more than 3,500 people in this condition.
In the group that daily goes to the shelter there are many people with very poor health, so that the delivery of this device, Coello has stated, "it is a basic tool for health care provided to them."
With this device, which delivers an electrical shock to the heart through the chest wall and analyzes the patient's heart rhythm for about 10 seconds, you can detect the patient's condition and whether it is necessary to supply an electric shock after the occurrence of the shock.
In this way, you can diagnose and treat, by this apparatus, cardiorespiratory arrest when he is due to ventricular fibrillation, in which the heart has electrical activity and blood pumping is ineffective and can restore a heartbeat electrical effective and mechanically.
These equipment are very effective in cardiac arrest called basically return the appropriate heart rate to the heart, because ventricular fibrillation is the most common cause of sudden death.
Early defibrillation is the 'key to survival' for 80% of extra-hospital cardiac arrests, which are caused by ventricular fibrillation (VF), since "for every minute of delay in performing defibrillation the chances of survival decrease 10% ", as indicated by the Councillor for Health.
The semi-automated external defibrillator (AED) is designed for those cases of cardiac arrest occurring outside hospitals because its ease of use makes no medical personnel can handle safely and effectively operating instructions the defibrillator indicated in every step.
