Using AED as complementary to CPR

Heart attack or cardiac arrest of any kind is very common now-a-days. Heart disease has grown in leaps and bounds among all races, cultures, nations, and geographical location on this earth. In the United States, the government has observed numerous death incidents because of different kinds of cardiac arrests each year. The reason was sometimes choking, drowning, asthma, heart failure, and cardiac arrest due to production of abnormal electric shocks. 

In Florida, there are certain instances of cardiac ailments which are found to be results of lifestyle reasons. Obesity, wrong choice of food, alcoholism, improper medication, sedentary lifestyle, using too much painkillers and sedatives, and undisciplined living have taken a great toll on the living of people in a healthy way. Reasons why people need to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is to make people aware of the cardiac problems and associated first aid remedies so that number of premature deaths due to cardiac problems dies down gradually.

People in Tampa follow government rules religiously. Although there are some standard private training centers catering to CPR learning for those who are interested, learning from American Heart Association (AHA) authorized centers have some added advantages. You will get world class study materials, well trained cardiac doctors as teachers, and an open classroom environment that help you learn in a relaxed atmosphere. Interactive and fun filled, these first aid classes are informative and effective in terms of learning and producing certified CPR candidates who can save people’s lives in emergency in family and even outside.


    
Use of Automatic Electronic Defibrillator (AED) is useful after giving successive chest compressions to patients suffering from sudden cardiac arrest. This is well taught in the authorized training centers in Tampa. Giving a limited and required amount of electric shock to the patient’s heart through AED can revive the beatings of the heart again. AEDs are the latest, most vital, and advancements in sudden cardiac arrest response. They are wonderfully made little gadgets that even a layman can operate with little training on it. In Tampa and other cities, you can find presence of these devices in many public places, churches, and homes, too.

You must know that CPR is not a means to revival. It is a temporary first aid to keep oxygen flowing to the brain cells and other parts of body until a way to revive the patient is ready. Only a few years back this means of revival was available only in hospitals. It was performed only by highly trained medical personnel. Now, it has been made available for general public through CPR certification Tampa to perform cardiac first aid to reduce the number of premature death from cardiac attack. Manual external defibrillators are applied to provide an electric shock to patients in an effort to reinstate a useful pattern to the heart muscle. Doing CPR in the field as a way to revival has to be supported with AED use so that patients can survive with greater chance.

Ways to Handle Heart Emergencies and Tampa CPR Classes

Some of the heart emergencies include heart attack or myocardial infarction, a sudden cardiac arrest or SCA (sometimes called out-of-hospital cardiac arrest - or OCHA) and an angina attack or unstable angina. These are life-threatening emergencies and a victim would require proper and immediate treatment for survival. Joining a CPR class Tampa and learning the valuable life-saving procedures is one of the best ways that can help you to handle heart-related emergencies. Always select an accredited training center for acquiring training such as the AHA certified CPR Tampa. Experienced instructors conduct the classes through a series of audio and video lectures and hands-on practice. There are courses for both healthcare and non-healthcare providers.  Symptoms of Heart Attack : Chest pain is the most vital symptom which often starts in the middle of the chest and moves to the neck, jaw, ears, arms and wrists. It can travel between shoulder blades, back or stomach ar...

Risks, Types and Causes of Atrial Flutter and CPR Classes in Palm Harbor

Atrial flutter is a problem when the atria of the ticker beats rapidly and regularly due to an anomaly of the ticker’s electrical system that usually results in a tachycardia (an abnormally fast heart rate). An individual with the condition may get feelings like near-fainting, rapid heartbeats (palpitations), mild shortness of breath and fatigue. During atrial flutter, the ticker beats extra fast about 250-400 beats per minute. This type of arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm) can be dangerous because complications can easily develop, and a normal heartbeat is 60-100 beats per minute. Atrial fibrillation is another arrhythmia that atrial flutter is closely related to. Atrial Flutter Types : 1.       Persistent atrial flutter which is more or less permanent. 2.       Paroxysmal atrial flutter which can come and go. An atrial flutter episode usually lasts hours or days. Risks: The main danger is that your ticker doesn’t p...

Facts About Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease

The aortic valve is a one-way valve between the heart and the aorta, regulating blood flow from the heart into the aorta. It is the main artery from the ticker/the major blood vessel that distributes oxygen-rich blood to the body, and also prevents the blood from flowing back from the aorta into the ticker when the pumping chamber relaxes. Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease (BAVD) is one of the most common congenital heart conditions that can go unrecognized for years without incident. Surgery is the only fix once it starts to cause problems. Normally, the aortic valve has three small flaps or leaflets that open widely and close securely to send oxygenated blood on a one-way route from the heart to the aorta. But in bicuspid aortic valve disease (BAVD), the valve has only two leaflets, which can cause life-threatening problems. This congenital heart condition affects about 1-2 percent of the population, and it is twice as likely to develop in men, might go unrecognized for years i...
