When should you never analyze a victim in cardiac arrest while using the aed?
Do not analyze if anyone is touching the patient.
Why should you minimize interruptions when giving chest compressions to victim of cardiac arrest?
minimizing interruptions means you will not be as tired giving CPR
Should a patient in cardiac arrest receive CPR if they have had a stroke?
ANYONE who is in cardiac arrest should receive CPR. If a stroke victim needs CPR, it means that they are in cardiac arrest, which means they're dead. What would withholding CPR do for your patient.. they're already dead at that point. Dan, EMT ACLS PALS NRP RN, Medic Student
Each minute that defribillation is delayed reduces the chance of survival of a sudden cardiac arrest victim by about 40 percent?
Each minute that defibrillation is delayed reduces the chance of surviving cardiac arrest by 10 percent according to the red cross. http://swpa.redcross.org/index.php?pr=Cardiac_Survival
Are arrest warrants linked to passports?
YES IT IS I AM A VICTIM OF THIS
Why do doctors intentionally create a large voltage across the chest of a heart-attack victim?
Note, a heart attack (myocardial infarction) is very different from what you are describing which is cardiac arrest. Doctors pass a large current using a defibrillator in certain cases of cardiac arrest when the heart muscle is just twitching and not beating in order to resychronise the electrical currents across the heart so they beat together effectively again.

When to use an AED?
Each AED is different. All new AED's self check themselves. Unless it beeps or flashes, it should be OK. Pads last from 2-3 years and batteries last 2-5 years. Check them at least once a month.
If an Officer only Interviews the victim and the aggressor and the officer arrests the victim due to the aggressors false statements is that false arrest?
That never happens
What should you do when a child victim has a pulse of more than 60 minutes but is not breathing?
Give rescue breaths without compressions
What impacts does delayed defibrillation have on a causalty of sudden cardiac arrest?
Ventricular defibrillation can lead to cardiac arrest and the heart could stop beating altogether. Once in cardiac arrest, every minute that passes without defibrillation the survival rate decreases about 7 to 10 percent and then dropping to less than 50 percent. Why can't we just call 9-1-1? Emergency medical services may not be able to respond fast enough during a victim's cardiac arrest. They might have to deal with crowded urban areas, multiple story buildings, rural areas or large complexes. In fact the average response time nationally is between 10 to 12 minutes, so the best EMS responders may not arrive there in time. The survival rate is only 5 in 100 SCA victims if defibrillation is not done early enough. More lives can be saved because of the very practical design of the AED's and the fact that most people are capable of using them. The more portable defibrillators that are put into public and private places, the better the chances for survival in SCA victims FOR MORE INFORMATION AND A VIDEO GO TO: http://www.emergencysuppliesinfo.com/what-is-a-defibrillator.html
How do you react to a sudden heart attack or cardiac arrest?
Most people don't realize that there is a huge difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest. How you react to each will therefore be different. This is when the victim is experiencing chest pain, tingling or numbness in the limbs, difficulty breathing, anxiety, pressure or tightness in the chest, back pain, and other signs that indicate a heart attack. (When in doubt, treat it like it's a heart attack.) 1. Do not delay in contacting professional emergency medical services. 2. Encourage the victim to sit down, breathe normally as possible, and calm down. 3. Give the person 2 children's size aspirin if they are able to consume aspirin (contraindications include allergy, or taking a blood thinner such as Warfarin, or direction against aspirin use from a doctor). 4. Monitor the victim for cardiac arrest until EMS arrives. This is when the victim has passed out and no pulse can be detected. 1. Do not delay in contacting professional emergency medical services. 2. Spend no longer than 10 seconds checking the victim's breathing and searching for a pulse. 3. Begin CPR until access to an AED becomes available or EMS arrives. 4. As soon as an AED is available, use the AED, then continue CPR until EMS arrives. Do not stop CPR unless you become physically exhausted, pass the victim off to someone else who will perform CPR, or unless you become endangered. CPR is circulating blood and oxygen through the victim's body, providing essential life support.
