Defibrillators definitely saves lives. Today, I was able to witnessed sudden cardiac arrest patient revived by singe innovative technology- external defibrillator. The emergency team leader connected the patient to the heart monitor and noted a cardiac fibrillation. After confirming the lethal rhythm, an electric shock was administered and eventually a normal sinus rhythm was restored.
Advancement of technology is important to meet the increasingly evolving nursing challenges in this modern world. The proper use of innovative technologies like defibrillators is vital in saving human lives. Adequate maintenance keeps defibrillators is proper working condition. Providing public education regarding the effective use of defibrillators in heavily populated commercial areas will make a positive impact in preventing death by sudden cardiac arrest.
