In modern medical emergencies, time is life. Whenever cardiac arrest occurs, whether effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation and electric shock defibrillation can be carried out in time directly affects the patient's life or death.
Popular Science: What are the golden 4 minutes?
If the cardiac arrest does not exceed 4 minutes, the brain tissue will not be damaged. If it lasts for 4-6 minutes, brain damage may occur. If it lasts for more than 10 minutes, irreversible brain damage will occur. Therefore, there is a saying that there are "golden 4 minutes" for the rescue of sudden cardiac death.
For people who suddenly fall ill or suffer an accident that causes cardiac arrest outside of a hospital, time is of the essence. The faster the shock is delivered from the time the patient falls to the ground, the greater the chance of survival.
In the "golden 4 minutes" after a patient's cardiac arrest, the best first aid measure is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) combined with defibrillation using an AED. What is an AED and how is it used?
What is an AED?
AED stands for “automated external defibrillator”, which is a medical device that can be operated by the general public. Its principle is to use a strong pulse current to pass through the heart to eliminate arrhythmia and help patients with cardiac arrest and ventricular fibrillation to restore their heart rate. Its design is light and portable, suitable for various rescue scenarios.

How to operate a semi-automatic external defibrillator?
1. Turn on the power;
2. Follow the voice prompts to stick the electrodes (be careful to remove metal objects on the patient and dry the skin);
3. The AED automatically detects the patient's heart rate and analyzes whether an electric shock is needed;
4. If an electric shock is needed, it will automatically charge and the voice will announce: "Charging is complete, please press the flashing defibrillation button". At this time, the discharge button flashes, do not touch the patient, and press the flashing defibrillation button.
Cardiac arrest may occur at any time. Semi-automatic external defibrillators can help non-professionals quickly and effectively rescue people through simple operation and intelligent analysis. Investing in an AED is investing in the great cause of saving lives. BIOBASE recommends semi-automatic external defibrillators to you. It is not only a device, but also a manifestation of social responsibility, allowing everyone to contribute to social security.
