Defibrillator save the man’s life Chinese language

Four years ago I had an episode where I went into V-Tac, the paramedics had to jolt me with their mobile defibrillator to get my heart back into normal rythum.
At the hospital it was determined I needed an implanted defibrellator to controle any further problems. they also put me on the medication Amiodarone which is a antiarrithmic.
Last year I had a episode where the unit discharged five times about one minute apart, felt like getting hit in the chest with a sledge hammer.
After that episode I feel a bit anxious about the next time this may accour, believe me Im not looking foreward to it.
Are there other people that feel the same, apprehensive about the next time, always on the back of your mind?
For those on Amiodarone what side affects do you feel. I get very fatigued.

I am a forty year old male had triple bypass in oct 2009, then in march 2010 had a massive heart attack while on vacation in vegas and almost died, spent Five days in a coma, and two weeks in a nevada hospital ending up with a internal defibrillator. question since then I am at peace with god and my life, the small stuff does not bother me know more, at work I just do my job and leave I don’t get caught up in the nonsense, at home I take it one day at a time, question does that make me sound like I don’t care about nothing, which is not true, because I am in a good place. but I think people misjudge me as not caring what do you think peace always Vinnie

siehe Ton English: An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a small battery-powered electrical impulse generator which is implanted in patients who are at risk of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular fibrillation. The device is programmed to detect cardiac arrhythmia and correct it by delivering a jolt of electricity. In current variants, the ability to revert ventricular fibrillation has been extended to include both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias as well as the ability to perform biventricular pacing in patients with congestive heart failure or bradycardia.

In my simple little mind I think of a heart defibrillator as basically a capacitor, power supply, and switch. So, I should be able to make my own, right?
Really, I’m serious. I’ve been building and repairing electronic devices for decades. Keep your flippant answers to yourself.
Perhaps I should rephrase the question. What details can you share about building a heart defibrillator?
I can test it against the one my department has.
This is a question about science, not motivation.

This video demonstrates the proper use of an Automated External Defibrillators or AED. We walk you through the process from finding an unresponsive person and applying the AED to the start of CPR.

Childrens Hospital of Wisconsins Project ADAM™ (Automated Defibrillators in Adams Memory) program will present Becky Neumann-Schwabe, AED trainer, Milwaukee Public Schools,with the 2010 Karen Smith Award. The award recognizes excellence in school public access to defibrillation programs. It is named after Karen Smith, a pioneer and leader in school health and safety during two decades of services as the nursing services coordinator for the Pewaukee School District. Smith passed away Jan. 26 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

www.quickmedical.com Zoll AED Plus, the first and only full-rescue automated external defibrillator (AED) supports the full Chain of Survival by supporting effective CPR. The fact is, only half of cardiac arrest victims need a shock. The other half require high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The Zoll AED Plus provides Real CPR help, a tool that is able to actually see what you are doing and provide feedback to help you do it well, giving rescuers the confidence they need. Audio and visual prompts help make the rescue process easier than any other AED. From checking responsiveness, summoning help, and doing an “ABC” assessment (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) to CPR and defibrillation, the Zoll AED Plus helps guide the rescuer through the entire effort to save victims. Zoll offers a complete line of accessories to compliment and restock the AED Plus. Wall mounting options include a simple bracket style, flush and recessed locking cabinets, and cabinet with alarm capability. Replacement padz for the adult and child size are available, as are training simulators and “training padz.” Signage for indicating Zoll AED Plus location can be purchased in two styles. Computer interface adapters for RS-232 and USB allows for uploading of information from the AED. And for portability, the hard-sided pelican cases can accommodate the AED and accessories. www.quickmedical.com
