Sudden cardiac death refers to the sudden and unexpected death of people without or with heart disease. Medically speaking, sudden death within one hour due to one's own reasons without any external forces such as car accidents and violent injuries is called sudden cardiac death. The cause of most sudden death is heart disease. Due to the accelerated pace of modern life, some people forget to eat and sleep and overwork, which will lead to the disorder of immune system and electrolyte in the long run and increase the probability of sudden cardiac death. More than 80% of sudden cardiac death is caused by tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation or cardiac arrest.

Scientific first aid for sudden cardiac death;

The most important thing in the first minute after the patient falls to the ground is not cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but defibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation may occur first in patients with sudden death. At this time, if defibrillation can be effective, there is no need to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation. If you miss this 1 minute, the patient may stop beating. For defibrillation, the simplest and most effective method is to use a defibrillator. Defibrillator is a portable medical device, which can diagnose specific arrhythmia and give electric shock defibrillation. It is a medical instrument for rescuing patients with sudden cardiac death. The use of self-service defibrillator is very simple, and non-medical staff can use it after 20 minutes of training.
