More and more businesses are investing in life saving defibrillators for their workplaces. More than 20,00o Australians will suffer a cardiac arrest outside of hospitals and medical centers this year. Many of these emergencies will happen in the workplaces where they do not have the life saving equipment to effectively help the victim. Studies have also found that around 70% of CPR given to vistims outside of hospitals is not given effectively. CPR is important to keep the supply of oxygenated blood to the brain running.
The first 5 minutes are the most important when it comes to providing help to a victim. Every minute the chance of survival drops dramatically – which is why the survival rate for cardiac arrest outside hospitals in only 10%. The good post is that if a defibrillator is used withing 3-5 minutes of the victims cardiac arrest, the chance of survival can climb to around 75% or more!
Sanokil offers smart defibrillators that sense the victims heart beat and give an electrical shock to to get it going again. As the first defibrillation electrical impulse does not always bring circulation back, the device will also walk you through the CPR process. Through voice prompts, it will let people know if they need to push harder or whether they are doing good compression.
