* Automated External Defibrillator

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An automated external defibrillator or AED, is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient and is able to treat them through defibrillation - the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm. With simple audio and visual commands, AEDs (defibrillators) are designed to be simple to use for the layman, and the use of AEDs (defibrillators) is taught in many first aid, first responder, and basic life support courses.

Effect of Delayed Treatment
Uncorrected, these cardiac conditions (ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, asystole) rapidly lead to irreversible brain damage and death. After approximately three to five minutes, irreversible brain/tissue damage may begin to occur. For every minute that a person in cardiac arrest goes without being successfully treated (by defibrillation), the chance of survival decreases by 7 percent per minute in the first 3 minutes, and decreases by 10 percent per minute as time advances beyond ~3 minutes.

Requirements for use
AEDs (defibrillators)are designed to be used by laypersons who ideally should have received AED (defibrillators) training. This is in contrast to more sophisticated manual and semi-automatic defibrillators used by health professionals, which can act as a pacemaker if the heart rate is too slow (bradycardia) and perform other functions which require a skilled operator able to read electrocardiograms.

Anapen® Adrenaline Pen

Right dose, first time

Buy Anapen for the treatment of anaphylactic shock

According to figures issued by The Anaphylaxis Campaign, as many as half a million people may be affected by acute, severe food allergy. A similar number of other people may be at risk of anaphylaxis from insect bites or stings, latex, drugs or a wide range of other triggers.

The incidence and prevalence of serious allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis are increasing rapidly, as is the number of hospital admissions for anaphylactic shock.

Guidelines for the emergency treatment of anaphylaxis issued by the Royal College of Physicians and the Resuscitation Council (UK) in April 2009 recommend the use of adrenaline, or an adrenaline pen such as Anapen, as the first line emergency treatment.
