Many people tend to confuse a heart attack with cardiac arrest, assuming they’re identical. But that is not the case. To grasp the distinction between the two, it is important to understand what happens in each of these situations, what causes them and how they can be treated. What is a heart attack? Think of … Continue reading “Heart Attack Vs Cardiac Arrest”
When analysing the heart, the AED will be searching for four different rhythms. If it detects Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) or Ventricular Fibrillation (VF), the device will either instruct the user to shock or shock the patient itself (depending on if it is a semi or fully automatic device).
In today’s fast-paced world, it is essential for businesses and organisations to prioritise the safety and well-being of their employees, customers, and community members. One crucial aspect of this is investing in CPR training and defibrillators.
