Reanimation
Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood. A defibrillator is a device that sends a high-energy electric shock to the heart, restoring its normal rhythm. Types of defibrillators include automated external defibrillators (AED), implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) and body-worn defibrillators (WCD). Doctors and paramedics use manual or semi-automatic defibrillators in patient care.
The AED automatically analyses the heart rhythm to decide whether an electrode is needed. The device provides audio, visual and text instructions from the moment it is switched on.
AED-type defibrillators can be divided into two groups: fully automatic and semi-automatic. The difference between the two is that semi-automatic devices have a button that the user has to press if a shock is required, while fully automatic AEDs do not; they automatically shock the patient if an abnormal heart rhythm is detected.
As time is critical in sudden cardiac arrest, AEDs are available in many public and easily accessible places, such as institutions, train stations, shopping centres and doctors' surgeries. Professional devices are used by paramedics and emergency care workers.
In our online shop you can find semi-automatic, fully automatic and professional defibrillators, as well as various accessories and kits, and with the help of our training defibrillators and training dummies you can learn and practice step-by-step the techniques of life-saving.
