Use of defibrillator (DEF)
Each SAMK campus has one or two semi-automatic assisting defibrillators for cases of emergency.
The device generates short-term electric shocks to a (lifeless) cardiac arrest patient’s heart muscle through electrodes. The device senses automatically those heart arrhythmia states where a defibrillator shock is needed. A sudden cardiac arrest is thus the cause for defibrillation.
CARDIAC ARREST
If the patient cannot be awakened and s/he does not breathe, DIAL THE EMERGENCY NUMBER 112. Start cardio- pulmonary resuscitation and ask others to bring you the defibrillator.
- Switch on the FRx-defibrillator.
- Take the pads out of the grey pads case.
- Place the pads on the patient`s clean and dry chest as directed.
- The patient MUST NOT BE TOUCHED during the heart rhythm analysis.
- Press the blinking orange shock button, if the device instructs you to do so. DO NOT TOUCH THE PATIENT.
- Continue the cardiopulmonary resuscita- tion immediately after you have given the shock. Follow the instructions given by the device. (Source: Tammed.fi)
