AEDs are used to reboot the heart when it is fibrillating - an abnormal and erratic twitching of the heart muscle.
CPR is cardio pulmonary resuscitation. CPR should be given if. The patient is not breathing, or they take occasional gasping breaths. If the heart has stopped beating, if the person is unconscious/unresponsive.
Timings
3:10 Raymond was born in Hong Kong. In the 70s everyone is poor, everyone is working hard.... I want to be an engineer.
5:10 I became an engineer in a pharmaceutical company......That fulfilled my dream.
6:36 I had a natural progression into sales.......
10:02 When I first went to China I needed a food ticket .....
11:36 I joined Swire-Loxley close to the transition of Hong Kong to Chinese control and this opened up an opportunity in sales.
14:43 Not too difficult to be in sales if I show my technical talent
16:00 I am working in AED and CPR ... The defribulator gives an electric shock to the heart. It stops the fibrillation and the natural heart pacemaker can reestablish itself. The heart reboots.
21:47 AED is a medical equipment that can be used by laymen. It has an inbuilt cardiologist inside.
23:30 Saves has passed 100. Data is collected in emergencies where our equipment is used.
29:24 Over 100 people have been saved ..... data up to discharge of patient from hospital.
30:25 How did you get involved in St John's Ambulance .......
32:58 Why can't I be an instructor. They don't have enough people to teach......
35:42 Not only selling.... we can teach people.....the critical factor is time.
38:18 How do you help people learn about CRP and AED......
40:10 Using an AED is an automatic machine and is straightforward to use.
44:10 Is there a law for having AED available.... It's voluntary.......
45:53 The department of health give recommendations for having an AED
47:32 The "Golden 5 Minutes" from the American Heart Association.... every 1 minute decreases the survival chance by 10%
50:10 Future is to promote more awareness, time to save, just do something,... do more seminars. It's life and death.
54:10 Just check response.... In the future my vision is every home, every office should have an AED
