arrest involves problems with the heart's electrical system which can cause it to stop beating Defibrillation is the only known treatment and fewer than 5 percent of victims survive largely because it is not possible for emergency medical serv ices to reach them in time Manual defibrillation works by giving the heart controlled electric shock forcing all the heart muscles to contract at once and hopefully jolting it into regular rhythm Medical professionals used to be the only ones able to interpret heart rhythms on manual defibrillation devices Now automated external defibrillators use embedded computer chips to analyze rhythms instantly and accurately makpersoning it possible for nel to operate and thus save lives The Al Ds are lunch box size and Sudden have adhesive electrode pods that deliver brief but poweiful electrical stimulation that interrupts abnormal hearth rhythm and help restore normal heart rhythm "ALDs are user friendly and easy to use Voice prompt and display screens provide even an untrained user withoperating instructions hey are designed not to deliver therapy to someone not in cardiac arrest and can be used without risk to the rescuer or victim” said Marion Bunker Delta Hospital RN Placement of AEDs throughout the community allows public access and is the quickest and most efficient way to save lives So far the West Millard Pool is the only public place with an AED After the silent auction hospital and IPSC employees plan to place one at the West Millard Ballparks and the Pallidum The third location has not yet been determined Sudden cardiac arrest can occur without warning and strikes about a quarter of a million people in the I’S Bunker said several victims in Millard County have been saved by defibrillation and although ambulances are fast public access to ALDs will save even more lives “A Ds are extremely important in saving lives We need them in public places for immediate use and we are really excited about the protect" said
