According to the statistics of the Department of Health in 100, one person dies of heart disease every 3 1 min 50 seconds. If we can grasp the golden rescue time of patients with cardiac arrest and give them an electric shock immediately, it will improve the recovery rate of heartbeat and avoid brain death. However, the survey by consumer protection groups found that the proportion of "dumb stun guns" (AEDs) available to everyone in public places in China is too low, with an average of only 0. 17 per thousand people, calling on relevant units to pay attention to it.

AED, commonly known as "stupid defibrillator", can automatically detect the patient's heart pulse and give an electric shock to restore the normal operation of the heart. (Photo courtesy/Foundation Elimination Meeting) AED is a medical instrument that can automatically detect the patient's heart pulse and give electric shock to restore the normal operation of the heart. Because it is easy to carry and easy to use, it is called "stupid defibrillator". After the Good Samaritan Act was promulgated in the United States in 2000, aed was installed in crowded public places for people to use in rescuing heart patients.

Since 2000, China has also promoted the "PAD" policy of installing AEDs in public places. However, the Consumer Culture and Education Foundation of the Republic of China recently investigated the setting of AEDs in various counties and cities, and found that there were only over 4,000 AEDs outside hospitals in Taiwan Province, with a rate of 0. 17(0.000) per 65,438+10,000 people.

Su Jinxia (middle), chairman of the Consumer Foundation, said that the proportion of AEDs in public places in China is too low, so * * * should amend the law to require installation and plan relevant education courses. (Photo/Luo Huiwen) Su Jinxia, chairman of the Consumer Foundation, said that foreign data show that if the electric shock is given immediately within 1 minute of the patient's cardiac arrest, the success rate of restoring normal heartbeat can reach 90%. Every minute of delay, the success rate per minute will drop by 7% to 10%. After 5 minutes, the success rate of treatment was only 50%. If it exceeds 65,438+00,

TongFu.kabu, a member of the Medical Disputes Handling Committee of the Consumer Foundation who is a doctor, said that if the heart of a heart patient suddenly stops beating during medical treatment and AED shock is not given in time, the recovery rate of the heart beat after arriving at the hospital is only 65,438 0%, but if AED is implemented in an ambulance, the survival rate can be improved to 7%, and according to Japanese experience, the success rate of first aid can be further improved to 38% if AED is used at the scene of disease discovery.

In this regard, the Consumer Foundation appeals that in addition to hospitals, relevant units of * * * should set up AEDs for crowded public places, such as stations, schools, tourist attractions, night markets, shopping centers and other places, and set up obvious signs so that people can get and give first aid in time.

In order to ensure the first-aid management system of AED, Su Jinxia believes that in addition to amending the law to require public places to strengthen the installation of AED, relevant units should also include AED training courses in the educational content of children under 18, so that everyone can learn and understand the first-aid knowledge of AED and save lives in an emergency.
