This year, Shenzhen will add 3,000 AED

At 16:00 on May 24th, a worker accidentally shocked an electric shock during his homework, and fell on the operating car without consciousness and no breathing. Fortunately, the four medical students performed first aid for workers: cardiopulmonary resuscitation, dialing 120 first aid telephones, and running out of the medical school building to get the animals from the animals (English for short), which successfully saved the life of the workers.

In Shenzhen, AED is not uncommon for helping life. A city stops racing with the cardiac arrest, which is inseparable from the increasingly complete AED layout, enthusiastic citizens dare to shot first aid and protect the lives of the people. Essence

The reporter learned from the Shenzhen Emergency Center yesterday that since Shenzhen launched the "Public Electric Rabbing Plan" in 2017, as of June 12, the AED installed in public places in the city has been used for 168 times and 49 successful treatment. This year, Shenzhen will add 3,000 AEDs in key places.

Help to rescue 49 life

In Shenzhen's subway stations, airports, stadiums, residential communities, etc., a square box is always hung on the wall- "First Aid Artifact" AED. AED is a portable medical device that can diagnose specific arrhythmia and give electro -cutting tremor. It is a "fool -style" medical equipment that can be used by non -professional personnel to rescue patients with cardiac arrest.

This small box can exert great power and strive for gold emergency time for citizens such as sudden myocardial infarction.

Since 2017, Shenzhen has begun to allocate AEDs in public places in the city, and incorporates the project into key projects of the Shenzhen Municipal Government's people's livelihood, and gives comprehensive guarantees from legislation and policies. As of December 31, 2021, a total of 1,4158 AEDs in Shenzhen, AEDs in public places have been used 168 times and successfully helped to rescue 49 people. Behind this group of numbers is 49 lively life and 49 reunion families.

Mr. Liu, 42, is one of these 49 citizens. At 11:10 on March 18th, when Mr. Liu in a community in Futian District took the elevator to go downstairs to do nucleic acid, the heartbeat stopped and life was dying. At the critical moment, residents, medical staff, and volunteers are rescued by the community. Some people do cardiopulmonary rescue. Some people use AED to win valuable rescue time for 120 ambulances. Mr. Liu, who escaped from the dead, said, "I didn't expect that I was miraculously survived! I sincerely grateful to live in the city in Shenzhen, and the quality of people around me is very high."

According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Emergency Center, behind the repeated success of AED, there are some of them. There are witnesses after the patients' heart -stop patients fall. Someone at the scene shot first aid, and citizens used AED to rescue patients on the spot.

Configuring AEDs in public places allows patients with cardiac arrest to get timely treatment in a timely manner, which also reflects the strong and goodwill of Shenzhen, a city of love. This year, Shenzhen will add 3,000 AEDs, which will be mainly allocated in residential communities, schools, and new subway stations.

AED fills 120 before reaching the rescue empty window period

In recent years, patients with sudden cardiac death have shown a trend of younger. Cardiac arrest is unknown, and about 80%of sudden death occurs in family, public places and other places.

Why is AED so important in front of rescue patients? According to Zhou Qiang, director of the Municipal Emergency Center, for those who have stopped heart arrest, each delayed first aid is 1 minute, the success rate decreases by 10%, and the success rate of rescue is almost 0 after a 10 -minute stop jump. However, from the patient to the ground to the 120 ambulance, there was a golden window period. In this empty window, if you can implement cardiopulmonary resuscitation in 1 minute, and perform AED electric shock defibrillation within 3-5 minutes, its survival rate can reach 50%-70%.

Since 2017, the Municipal Emergency Center has been exploring how to fill this empty window period. According to reports, the Municipal First Aid Center has continuously carried out emergency propaganda and popularization training to allow more citizens to learn first aid knowledge. At the same time, promote AED configuration in public places to increase the success rate of rescue for such fool -style first aid equipment.

It is very important to treat the treatment before sudden death. Deputy Director Fan Zhao, the emergency department of Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, said in an interview that before the emergency personnel of the professional hospital arrived, the first witnesses were as early as possible for the first witnesses, dialing 120 calls for help, and using AED defibrillation in time. It is critical to improving the survival rate of patients outside the hospital and improving clinical prognosis.

Training+legislation allows citizens to dare to shot first aid

The configuration of AED is critical, and more importantly, changing the public's first aid concept -dare to shot first aid and dare to use AED to save people.

How to make more citizens dare to shot first aid? The Municipal Emergency Center gives an exploration answer: continuously carry out public first aid training course projects, does not charge any fees, and outputs "junior ambulancers"; every AED is equipped in public places, and ten people around this device must be used for use training for equipment use training. The purpose is to allow more citizens to learn to first aid knowledge and use AED.

What should I do if the citizens have worries for emergency treatment? It is understood that Article 184 of the Civil Code states: "If the rescue behavior is caused by voluntary emergency rescue behavior, the rescue person will not bear civil liability." It also innovatively proposed the "on -site emergency rescue exemption" regulations, giving the rescuers the most practical legal guarantee. "Citizens can rest assured to participate in the first aid, because this is legal." The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Emergency Center said. In order to allow citizens to find the AED around them faster, the Municipal Emergency Center jointly released the Shenzhen "AED Map" covering the city and one -click can be checked. Open the "Tencent Map" or WeChat Mini Program. Entering "AED Navigation" in the search bar will display the closest AED from you. You can take it out according to the navigation prompts.

Shenzhen has installed AED at the forefront of the country in public places, and has achieved good social benefits and demonstration effects to help build a new social emergency system. The "Shenzhen Model" of Chinese public defibrillament has been highly praised and affirmed by the National Health and Health Commission, and called on major cities across the country to promote and study Shenzhen experience and practices.

If one more person understands first aid, can first aid, and dares to first aid, one more person will do the cardiopulmonary resuscitation in time, find and use the AED around him, and patients with heart arrest will be more rescued. "I call on the citizens to actively participate in the emergency aid and let the citizens living in the city in Shenzhen have a full sense of security." The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Emergency Center said.
