What is a hand defibrillator?
The hand defibrillator is a healthcare facility used for the treatment of heart problems. Depending on the condition of the patient and the medical recommendation, the medical expert would deliver voltage shocks to the heart by placing pads on the patient's chest. It is used for various cases of heart conditions such as cardiac, ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. In principle, manual defibrillators of the device are used to restore the successful functioning of the heart in critical or emergency situations. They are located in different places and are not limited to hospitals and medical clinics.
different types of defibrillators include a hand defibrillator, an automatic external defibrillator and implanted. They are generally used for the same purpose that gives the heart electricity to regain normal heart condition. The manual defibrillator, which is an external type, uses readings of the electrocardiogram to display the desired amount voltage to be applied. Are very effective and need professional control to ensureI proper operation. The next level of the defibrillator is an automated external defibrillator. It is a more advanced type of defibrillator because it automatically measures and decides on the amount of voltage shock to the heart. Internal defibrillators or implantable are used for internal heart monitoring using pulse generation techniques.
The first step towards the application of the hand defibrillator is preparation. The defibrillator should be ready and safe for further use. It should be placed on a hard dry surface, checked the power supply and connected cables and pads. The voltage requirement should be checked depending on the type of manual defibrillator because there are two types of defibrillators; Monofase and biphasic. The charging button will be pressed on the ON position that can be found either on the device or on the mats. After it is ready, the discharge button is pressed when emergency respondents are ready DAt rescue shock.
There are few instructions for using a manual defibrillator in an emergency. A medical specialist should be consulted unless the user is properly trained in their use because the application of the automatic external defibrillator (AED) needs the help of an expert. The location area should be cleaned and the cushions should be placed on the chest to be used to restore heart rate. The patient's condition is checked by AED connection, whether the patient needs tension or not. If AED requires an electricity explosion to be carried out, an electric shock should be provided. The patient and the hand defibrillator should be monitored until the machine states that the device is no longer needed.
