    I like these Zoll AEDs because they give you feedback about your compressions.

    There's a difference between infants and children. Children are from 1 year old to puberty. Infants are from birth to one year. Comptessions are performed differently for infants and children. The two finger method is used only on infants. One hand is used on children.

    I’ve watched a bunch of videos about this and it is noticeable how the user interface of these devices vary widely from one model to another. As a person with anxiety who often experiences brain freeze in stressful situations this is not helpful. I wish there is some standard they need to follow from how to turn it on , to the content of the voice prompts to how you deliver the shock, etc. I suppose the takeaway for me is : get familiar with the specific type of equipment available in your work place (or places you frequent). Of course I’ll have to figure that out without triggering the loud audible alarm

    AEDs need to be used in conjunction with effective chest compressions. CPR Should continue while someone else is applied aed

      This is very true...
      Except for the times the AED explicitly tells you to stop/take hands off. The only times this happens would be either when it's analyzing the rhythm (it won't be able to if you're doing compressions) and if/when it gives the "shock advised" instructions.
      At all other points, including when the pads are being applied if at all possible, you should absolutely be doing high quality chest compressions

    Of course, never ever do chest compressions when an AED is applied when the "shock sequence" is going to be deployed. Stay away from the patient when the shock is going to be applied, and redo chest compressions after you are told you are safe to do chest compressions after the AED-delivered shock is done.

    Our Singapore Heart Foundation recommends to shave the patients' hairy chest but this would waste precious time. If shaving is really necessary, then all AED devices should also come equipped with a shaver. Then logically all Europeans would need to have the chest hair shaved since it is in their DNA to have hairy chest. I suspect our AED version do not have sufficient gel on the contact pad. Can you advise on this?

    Why do all you "professionals" feel the need to string a stethoscope round your necks? Is that so no one will forget you're a medical person? 😂

    • @ryanc473
      @ryanc473 11 місяців тому +1

      It's actually because they're pretty useful devices lol. And not every medical professional has one like that...
      Surgeons often don't, though will if they forsee a need for one (i.e. they're checking on post-op patients). A lot of nurses don't have one constantly on them, but I've seen quite a few that do as well.
      Stethoscopes are just insanely useful. You can hear heart murmurs, breath sounds/wheezing, bowel sounds, etc. Oh, and a lot of respiratory therapists (if not all of them) have one as well, both because, well, breath sounds, and because you can (roughly) tell whether or not someone is properly intubated using a stethoscope. While it's often confirmed with an x-ray, the stethoscope alone can often give a pretty accurate idea of how successful the intubation attempt was if you know what to listen for...
      It's basically just an all around excellent tool for listening to all the noises the body makes. That's why so many medical professionals wear one around their necks (it's really not a tell as to the level of expertise someone has, given that staff of multiple different training/license/practice levels all use them. Heck, even a medical assistant (which is a fairly bare bones level license) can use one to take a manual blood pressure)

      Isn't recommended to do mouth to mouth anymore. We breath out mainly carbon dioxide, not pure oxygen. Plus the small amount of oxygen we expel, isnt sufficiently pushed into the lungs, so research states it doesnt add much, if any real benefit. We already have about 8 to 10 minutes oxygen still stored in the body which is sufficient.
