if u can figure this one out .. what’s the scheduled maintance for electric beds used in the general ward area .. there are 250 identical beds in the facility .the average daily census is 178 patients??

In the Netherlands, there is a campaign going on to get as many people as possible to buy a defibrillator (approx. 0). The point is that when a heart attack is reported to the emergency services, the operator can give the caller the addresses of the nearest people who own one so the rescue efforts can start before the ambulance get there. After all, "the first six minutes are critical for the victim’s survival".

As of late, I have begun hearing conflicting stories about these devices however. Some say that defibrillators are always helpful, even in cases of full cardiac arrest, while others claim that defibrillators only work when the heart is ‘fibrillating’ (extremely rapid spasms) and only serves to normalize the heartbeat.

My question of course is, who is right?
Answer 4 is going to get the ten points but I won’t be online to give them today.
