Why Are Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) So Important? | Wellbeing
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. In Vietnam, the total number of fatalities due to cardiac arrest exceeds the combined death toll of lung cancer and traffic accidents.
It is particularly dangerous because it can strike anyone even healthy individuals with no prior medical history at any time and in any place
1. The Role of the AED
One of the primary causes leading to cardiac arrest is Ventricular Fibrillation. The use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) delivers an electric shock to stop this fibrillation, thereby making Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) significantly more effective.
These devices are extremely compact and user-friendly, designed so that even people with absolutely no medical experience or knowledge can operate them to save lives.
2. Why is First Aid for Cardiac Arrest a "Race Against Time"?
Did you know?
-
1-2 Minutes: The average time a human can hold their breath.
-
After 5 Minutes: Lack of oxygen leads to irreversible brain damage.
-
30 Minutes: The average time it often takes for an ambulance to reach the scene in traffic-congested areas.
-
Survival Drop: For every minute that passes without intervention, the victim loses 7% to 10% of their chance of survival.
Therefore, immediate access and proper first aid are crucial. Specifically, combining CPR with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) optimizes the rescue process and maximizes the chance of survival for the victim.
