    This document provides instructions for the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) to treat sudden cardiac arrest. It explains that an AED analyzes the heart's rhythm and can deliver an electric shock to restore a normal rhythm if needed. The steps for using an AED include turning it on, exposing the person's chest, applying adhesive electrode pads to their chest, following voice prompts to deliver shocks if required, and continuing CPR and AED use until emergency help arrives or the person recovers. AEDs are safe to use and can improve survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest when used promptly along with CPR.

    KURSUS KOMPREHENSIF BLS

    12-13 NOVEMBER 2013

    portable device that checks


    the heart rhythm and can send
    an electric shock to the heart to
    try to restore a normal rhythm
    AEDs are used to treat sudden
    cardiac arrest (SCA).

    EARLY DEFIBRILATOR

    The

    electrodes send information about


    the person's heart rhythm to a
    computer in the AED.
    The computer analyzes the heart
    rhythm to find out whether an electric
    shock is needed.
    If a shock is needed, the AED uses
    voice prompts to tell you when to give
    the shock, and the electrodes deliver it.

    When

    the person is having


    sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)

    Most common cause of SCA is an


    arrhythmia called ventricular
    fibrillation (v-fib) and ventricular
    tachycardia.
    In arrhythmia, the ventricles don't
    beat normally.

    Ventricular fibrillation is the most


    common ECG finding when an adult
    suffers cardiac arrest.

    999 & AED

    Place one pad on the right center of the


    person's chest above the nipple

    Place the other pad slightly below the other


    nipple and to the left of the ribcage

    It is important that this pad is placed


    sufficiently and that it is clear of any breast
    tissue.

    Follow

    the adult BLS sequence as


    described in the basic life
    support chapter

    Do

    not delay starting CPR unless


    the AED is available immediately.

    As soon as the AED arrives:


    check for puddles or water near the person who is
    unconscious.
    Move him or her to a dry area, and stay away from
    wetness when delivering shocks (water conducts
    electricity).

    Turn on the AED's power.


    The device will give you step-by-step instructions.
    You'll hear voice prompts and see prompts on a screen.

    Expose the person's chest.


    If the person's chest is wet, dry it. AEDs have sticky
    pads with sensors called electrodes. Apply the pads to
    the person's chest..

    Make sure the sticky pads have good


    connection with the skin..
    clean the skin before applying the sticky pads e.g
    chest hair, medication patch, metal necklaces,
    body piercings

    Move the defibrillator pads at least 8cm away


    from implanted devices (pacemaker or
    implantable cardioveter defibrillator
    If more than one rescuer is present, continue
    CPR while the AED is switched on.
    If you are alone, stop CPR and switch on the AED.

    Follow the voice / visual prompts.

    If a shock is indicated:
    Ensure that nobody touches the victim while the
    AED is analysing the rhythm.
    Stay clear while the machine checks the person's
    heart rhythm.
    the AED will let you know when to deliver the shock.
    Stand clear of the person and make sure others are
    clear before you push the AED's "shock" button.
    Push the shock button as directed
    Continue as directed by the voice / visual prompts.
    Minimise, as far as possible, interruptions in chest
    compression.

    If

    no shock is indicated:

    Resume CPR immediately using a ratio of


    30 compressions to 2 rescue breaths.
    Continue as directed by the voice / visual
    prompts.

    Continue CPR & the AED prompts until:


    1. Emergency medical help arrives and
    takes over OR
    2. the victim starts to show signs of
    regaining consciousness, such as
    coughing, opening his eyes, speaking,
    or moving purposefully AND starts to
    breathe normally OR
    3. you become exhausted.

    AEDs are safe to use.


    There are no reports of AEDs harming bystanders
    or users.
    Also, there are no reports of AEDs delivering
    inappropriate shocks.

    If someone is having sudden cardiac arrest,


    using an AED and giving CPR can improve
    the person's chance of survival.
