Every now and then throughout history, a medical machine or device evolves to a point where it can greatly impact the health and well-being of mankind. The automated external defibrillator is one such device. In the last few years, due to advancements in design and technology, the popularity of these devices has grown exponentiallyNot long ago these devices were only used by trained professionals such as doctors and ambulance crews. Back then the smallest defibrillator was large, heavy and technically hard to use – and it was potentially very dangerous to the operator Business - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under business/finance/loan/mortgage category Computers - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under computer hardware/software/peripheral category Internet - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under webhosting/webdesign/internet marketing category Software - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under software category Web Design - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under web design/development category Web Hosting - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under web hosting category Web Promotion - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under search engine optimization/internet marketing category Web Resources - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under other web category Recreation - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under travel/hotel/cruise category Casino - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under online gambling/poker/blackjack/roulette category Health - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under online pharmacy/hospital/health category Shopping - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under online shopping/gift category Miscellaneous - Click the link on the left to visit our partner sites under all other categories
The main function of the defibrillator is to restart the heart of someone suffering cardiac arrest. But given that victims usually die within five minutes of the attack, and given that the average time it takes an ambulance to reach the site of an emergency situation is at least nine minutes, most victims used to die before help reached themThanks to electronics miniaturization plus major advances in cardiac research, external defibrillators have become smaller (about the size of a baseball mitt), relatively inexpensive (you can pick one up for well under $1500), much safer, and far easier to use. Not to mention the fact that they now even more effective. |
