What percent is the chance of survival increased by when the AED is used?
According to the related link, Seaway News, "Rapid defibrillation and CPR can increase survival rates up to 70 percent. However, defibrillation must occur within the first few minutes.".
What is an advantage of using hands free defibrillation pads instead of defibrillatiion paddles?
Allow for a more rapid defibrillation
What is defibrillation?
Very rapid contractions or twitching of small muscle fibers in the heart often need to be stopped. A mechanism that does this is called a defibrillator. The act itself is call a defibrillation. Many times the top chambers of the heart go into fibrillation and are not as severe as the ones that occur in the bottom chambers called the ventricles. These must be stopped as quickly as possible.
Should emergency defibrillators be used on patients suffering atrial fibrillation attacks?
If patients with atrial fibrillation experience rapid heart rate (rapid ventricular response) and are hemodynamically unstable (hypotension, altered mental status) then electrical cardioversion is appropriate. Defibrillation is never utilized in atrial fibrillation.
What is the chain of survival?
To scream and panic.
How many languages die a week?
It is estimated that one language dies every two weeks. This means that languages are disappearing at a rapid rate, with many of them having few or no speakers left. It is important to document and preserve languages to ensure their survival for future generations.
What is the real name of Johnny Rapid?

Why is rapid detection of disease exposure important?
Rapid detection of disease exposure is important for several reasons. For many diseases, detecting the infection and beginning treatment early may reduce the severity of the symptoms or even prevent the disease completely. Rapid detection of disease exposure is also important to prevent further spread of the disease.
A rapid method of speciation that has been important in the history of flowering plants?
Polyploidy
What were equally as important as natural resources in the nation's rapid industrialization?
New Technology Then
What is the medical term meaning very rapid heartbeat beginning in the ventricles?
Ventricular tachycardia is the term for rapid heart rate starting in the ventricles. Any resting pulse rate over 100 in an adult is defined as tachycardia.
What are some possible explanations for rapid evolutionary changes?
Adaptive radiation is one good explanation for rapid evolutionary change. When a dominant taxa goes extinct, such as the dinosaurs, the surviving species/taxa, such as the mammals have many niches that they can now fill, so any variation in individuals against immediate environments can lead to survival and reproductive advantages that translate into rapid allelic changes in populations; rapid evolutionary change.
