Defibrillator

(Automatic Defibillatoes)pic


Before few days I took one course of First Aid I find this course interesting that it had a lot of things one of these things was the Defibrillator .
Dose any one know what it is?
I think all of you know it, u have seen it may be in TV or some may seen it in the Hospitals.
This is my topic the Defibrillator Machine, the machine that saves people life
Let me first tell you about how the heat is working:-




The heart's electrical system causes the heart to beat, controls the heart rate (the number of beats per minute) and has special pathways (conduction pathways)
That carry the lower heart chambers (ventricles) for each heartbeat.
When heart cells in the upper heart chambers (atria) receive an electrical signal
They con-tract (pump) and then relax.
The blood from the atria is pumped into the relaxed lower heart chambers (ventricles)
And then passes down to the ventricles , causing them to contract and pump blood to
the body.


Types of Defibrillators

1) Automatic Defibrillators ( AED) are lightweight defibrillators units that are powered by micropro- cessors.
A computerized voice instructs the opera-tor to place two electrodes/pads on the
Patient's chest .
The device analyzes the heart rhythm and decides if a shook is necessary
The micrporoces- sor will not permit the device to deliver a shock un-less it detects the presence of the heart rhythm that requires defibrillation .Emergency medical personnel and lay personnel traditionally use these




2) Manual Defibrillators
Are defibrillators monitors that provide therapeutic and diagnostic functions
They are traditionally used by emergency trained medical personnel in Critical Care Units, intensive Care Units and Operating Rooms as well as EMT-Paramedics in the pre- hospital setting .
The defibrillators unit may be used as a ECG bedside monitor . it can document date /time , heart rate, instrument status and critical shook parameters as well as offer preset patient alarms and measure SpO2 as part of patient monitoring.


I find this devices interesting thing to talk to you about because it saved and still saving allot of people life till this day I like to tell you one story that happened in one of the cities in the USA



One day one lady was driving in her car like every day and at the same time there was one person who was deriving at the same rood as this lady but this person was on his way to work he was doing a Promotion for this Device , this lady stopped her car she was having a heart Attack this man Stopped to help her , he used this Device the Defibrillators and it really helped this lady then the unbalance arrived and the lady was rescued because of the help of this man and this device.


Another story says , one retired complex that people in the USA live after they retire , the people where dieing before the Unbalance arrives so they donate some money to make I device that can help them so they invented for them this Automatic Defibrillators its easy to use at emergency time.


I hope you all liked my topic and find it interesting and you can find the Defibrillators in the mall and the airports in USA, I hope all of you can take this interesting course you can learn in it a lot of useful thing that can help you and you can help the other pepole when they need your help you will know what to do.
ididnt use any web pages in this topic .
I Used one Book ;First (fundamentals of lmmediate Response Support Training)Hamad Medical Cororation (Hamad International Training Center) only to get from them how the heart is working and the types of the Defibrillator

Thanks Fatina for accepting the challenge to try out new things and experiment with the blog. You also included some anecdotes using your own words, which is good.

However,describing something like defibrillator may be very helpful for clarifying what you know on the topic and inviting the interested reader to construct the knowledge with you but what about the students in our language class?

Actually, your post reminded me of something I forgot to include in the writing ctiteria (see the relevant thread. I mentioned the following list: originality and clarity of ideas, organisation and paragraphs,linking words, range of vocabulary and grammar, punctuation. What I think is also very important is the Target Reader.

How do you all understand the idea behind Target Reader? What might change the way we write and what we write depending on who is going to read it? Can you think of some examples?

I am in a way curious to see how you, the students who participate in this blog, actually shape it.

As it seems that there is some tension over the choice of topics, would you like us to make a list of things that we'd like to discuss and share our opinions on the blog?

How do you feel about this?

Warm regards,
ralitza

thanks fatina for this but it is very small. i think the machine which used in hospital is bigger than yours
I have taken a training course on fire extinguishers
Unfortunately I can't remember anything about it now but it was really useful

Hi Walid

Thank s for your comment , I angry with you with this that God will take our berth but if we see someone needing help we will leave him or her to die and say let them die?
May be its not the time yet for them to die why do we have hospitals and medical staff , medicine , why do we have all these people ?
Like if u see someone not felling well you will leave that person alone and not help you will say it’s the time for them to die and leave them you will not try to help or call the ambulance to come and take them to the hospital , I think at that time you will do your best in helping I really think that.(you will help)

Today I read something good in the news paper that I like you all to cheek it in AL Raya newspaper (Sunday 1/6/2008) about
The Defibrillator and Oxygen Device, they mead Bicycles that have these devices and put them in the malls and use them in the sport games and place where there is a lot of crowded people I like you and the others to cheek this article
