Lifepak CR Plus AED
If you are near somebody who goes into sudden cardiac arrest, then CPR is not going to be enough. In fact, over three hundred thousand people have sudden cardiac arrests every year, and more than half of them die. That’s because the only thing that will correct a heart with irregular rhythm, arrhythmia, is to apply a jolt or two of electricity. An AED is automatic external defibrillator. It’s a machine that you attach to a victim of cardiac arrest. The machine will apply the correct amount of electricity. There are two different kinds of Lifepak Cr Plus AED machines. The first is semi-automatic. The second is fully automatic. The semi-automatic machine will analyze the person’s heart and tell you if you need to apply electricity. The fully automatic model will analyze the person’s heart and decide on its own whether or not the heart needs electricity. After that, it will apply the electricity automatically. The Lifepak CR Plus AED is a rather light and rugged model of automatic external defibrillator. It is light, less than ten pounds. That’s one reason why it’s such a good choice for people who might not use the automatic external defibrillator often, but need to have it on hand in case of a sudden emergency. This machine can be anywhere between seventeen hundred dollars and two thousand dollars. It also generally comes with pads and batteries. If you purchase one, you need to do so with a doctor. You also need to take the appropriate training course or get the appropriate training DVDs. Related Information Medtronic AED Philips AED |
