Sudden Cardiac Arrest is the sudden stop of the heart due to a disruption in the electrical rhythm. The fastest and most effective method that regulates this electrical rhythm and connects the heart to life is the application of OED with CPR. Studies show how effective fast OED practices are in returning to life. It is known that the effective treatment of electrical disruption is electroshock, and this method is used worldwide regardless of young and old discrimination.

PLACE DETERMINATION IS IMPORTANT FOR OED USE

Correct selection of the location and application of the OED will increase the response time and the probability of survival. In this context, determining the correct area in workplaces is of great importance.

Areas where electrical power devices are used,

Heavy labor areas with offshore drilling platform, construction projects, ships, power transmission line and energy turbines,

Locations close to people at cardiovascular risk, who have previously suffered from cardiac disease,

Areas where many workers work closely, production lines, offices,

Correct field determinations should be made by examining refectory areas of companies, sports centers, etc.

SAVE LIVES WITH THE RIGHT INTERVENTION IN JUST TIME

While heart attacks are a circulatory problem, Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a purely electrical condition and the only treatment is to return the heart to its normal rhythm with CPR and electroshock.

  • According to the data of the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 13% of workplaces have SCA cases, and approximately 10 thousand people die annually due to SCA. Studies show that 9 of 10 people who used OED in the first minute is brought back to life.
  • While the interventions to be made in the period until the emergency aid service reaches the workplace increases the probability of survival by 50-60%, the use of OED in workplaces increases this probability by 15-22%. 1/3 of the occupational safety managers state that they have saved lives with this training.
  • Sudden Cardiac Arrest can happen suddenly to anyone regardless of age or physical condition. It is important to consider OEDs in situations that require emergency response at workplaces.
