Your ride to find an unresponsive 48 year old patient do you have determined that the patient is unconscious, apneic, has a weak pulse, and you observe cyanosis. Which of these findings is a contradiction for AED application

Sagot :

The finding that is a contradiction to the application of AED is because the patient is apneic, has a weak pulse and observes cyanosis.

When can you not use the AED?

In cases of cardiac arrest other than due to Ventricular Fibrillation or Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia, AED will not be helpful and CPR must be continued. In addition, after recovery from these situations, the rescuer must open the airway and maintain ventilation and circulation with chest compressions until advanced emergency support arrives.

With this information, we can conclude that the AED can be used even in children, from one year of age. Defibrillation is indicated in cases of cardiac arrest, with risk of death, but also in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant arrhythmias, atrial or ventricular fibrillation and tachycardia.
