Since the chances of an adult losing conscience as a result of heart failure are higher than with a child, it is recommended to give the defibrillation treatment as soon as possible.

Research shows that the early defibrillation is more likely to save lives for the individual suffering a heart attack .

Why is it important to give early defilberation to an adult?

Early defibrillation is crucial for adults experiencing sudden cardiac arrest because it significantly increases the chances of survival. When the heart's electrical activity becomes erratic, defibrillation can restore a normal rhythm, preventing irreversible brain damage and death. Every minute that passes without defibrillation reduces the likelihood of survival by about 10%, making prompt action vital. Therefore, access to and use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) can be life-saving in emergencies.

Which statements tells why it is important to give early defibrillation to an adult?

From the AHA related link: Many sudden cardiac arrest victims are in ventricular fibrillation (VF). VF is an abnormal, chaotic heart rhythm that prevents the heart from pumping blood. You must defibrillate a victim immediately to stop VF and allow a normal heart rhythm to resume. The sooner you provide defibrillation with the AED, the better the victim's chances of survival. Several studies have documented the effects of time to defibrillation and the effects of bystander CPR on survival from SCA. For every minute that passes between collapse and defibrillation, survival rates from witnessed VF SCA decrease 7 to 10 percent if no CPR is provided. When bystander CPR is provided, the decrease in survival rates is more gradual and averages 3 to 4 percent per minute from collapse to defibrillation. CPR can double or triple survival from witnessed SCA at most intervals to defibrillation.


What can early defibrillation do?

When a person is in cardiac arrest, the heart goes into a spasm. The electrical activity become "spastic" and a condition known as ventricular fibrillation results. The defibrillator delivers a controlled electric shock to the body to give the heart a chance to start again. It does not start the heart per se. Defibrillating early greatly increases the chance of survival and minimises cardiac damage.
