It is reported that this AED in the subway station of Beijing West Railway Station has been put into use for more than a month. The success of this first aid is due to the timely use of equipment and the training of first aid knowledge in the subway.
What is an AED?
Every year, 544,000 people have cardiac arrest, which means that there are nearly 1.5 million people every day. Among these people with cardiac arrest, 80% first showed ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation is an irregular rapid vibration of the heart, which can not achieve normal blood absorption. AED is a kind of automated external defibrillator, which can restore the normal beating frequency and normal function of the heart with ventricular fibrillation by electric shock.
How does AED work?
The operation of AED is very simple, and the operation is completed step by step under the voice prompt, and it will analyze whether it is ventricular fibrillation heart rate and whether it needs electric defibrillation. Nowadays, more and more AEDs have been deployed in some public places, including high-speed railway station or large shopping malls. I hope that this configuration will be more and more in place, and more and more people will be treated in time. This is a real life-saving artifact.
Is it responsible to use AED to save people who are not saved?
Let's go to the rescue boldly, because according to the civil code of our country, this kind of voluntary and courageous act of rescue does not need to bear any civil liability, and you do not need to bear any civil liability regardless of whether you have gross negligence and caused some abnormal damage to others. This is also a law issued by our country for those who do good deeds.
