If an AED is present, give priority to defibrillation with the AED before continuing CPR. First aid "golden 4 minutes"! For every minute defibrillation is delayed, survival is reduced by 7 to 10 percent. Early and effective use of CPR and AED is the most effective means to rescue patients with cardiac and respiratory arrest.
If the AED is not nearby, designate personnel to fetch the AED and immediately give CPR to the patient until the AED arrives.
During CPR, if the AED arrives in the middle of the CPR, you can continue to do chest compressions without affecting the attachment of the electrode, and another person can help to attach the electrode. After the attachment, listen to the voice prompts for operation, do not touch the patient and wait for the analysis result.
If chest compressions affect the patch, stop and help with the patch and then listen to the voice manipulation, do not touch the patient and wait for the results of the analysis, discharge defibrillation.
What are the precautions for using AED?
1. If you cannot determine the age of the child, use the adult mode (without delaying defibrillation). If the child has a small chest, the electrodes may overlap. In this case, one electrode is placed on the child's chest and the other on the child's back. Make sure the electrodes are not touching each other. If the child is over 8 years old or weighs more than 25KG, it can be treated as an adult model.
2. Do not touch the patient when analyzing the heart rhythm during the process, and do not touch the patient when preparing to discharge the charge.
3. If the patient has water or sweat stains on the chest, wipe them dry before sticking the electrode.
4. Do not use AEDs on conductive surfaces such as water or metals.
