Is your AED ready to shock?

چکیده
There seems to be more news coverage these days about automated external defibrillator (AED) failures and device recalls by manufacturers. In March of this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced its intent to require new AEDs and accessories to go through a more rigorous approval process. The action is in response to recalls by manufacturers, documented failures, and adverse event reports.

To the Editor: In their recent case report regarding the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) on a transatlantic flight, Katis and Dias illustrate several important issues relating to the use of AEDs that educate us about this emerging trend of AED implementation on aircraft, in shopping malls and even at golf courses. I feel it is important to clarify one important point, however. ...
متن کاملResuscitation Science Impact of Onsite or Dispatched Automated External Defibrillator Use on Survival After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Background—There have been few studies on the effectiveness of bystander automated external defibrillator (AED) use in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The objective of this study was to determine whether actual use of onsite or dispatched AED reduces the time to first shock compared with no AED use and thereby improves survival. Methods and Results—We performed a population-based cohort study o...

متن کاملBeyond the pre-shock pause: the effect of prehospital defibrillation mode on CPR interruptions and return of spontaneous circulation.
AIMS The pattern of interruptions to chest compressions in pre-hospital cardiac arrests in Wellington, New Zealand, was examined prospectively to determine whether the mode of defibrillation chosen by paramedics influenced interruptions, shock success and the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). METHODS A prospective observational cohort study of 44 adult cardiac arrests in which 203 sho...
متن کامل5-Androstenediol Ameliorates Pleurisy, Septic Shock, and Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis in Mice
Androstenediol (androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol; 5-AED), a natural adrenal steroid, has been shown to suppress experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in female SJL/J mice. We here report that 5-AED limits inflammation and proinflammatory cytokines including TNFα in murine models of carrageenan-induced pleurisy and lippopolysaccaride- (LPS) induced septic shock. 5-AED binds to and transactiva...
