To increase survival after cardiac arrest it is vital to decrease the time to resuscitation. The training of persons in basic life support can increase bystander participation in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A straightforward protocol has been created to execute basic life support. The following steps can be followed to perform basic life support. File:Example.jpg
Automatic external defibrillator (AED)
The automatic external defibrillator is a complex device that analysis rhythm of patients and can deliver a shock to defibrillate patients. It detect whether a patient has ventricular fibrillation or an other arrhythmia. When in detects a shockable rhythm it advises the user to deliver the shock, all settings are automatically adjusted. It also remembers the events so that the tracing can be recovered and analysed after the resuscitation.
