‘heart attack’

during intimacy?

This is a serious question and I am looking for only serious answers please!

Will I get shocked too? Do I call the ambulence? What?

My friend’s husband had a heart attack during intimacy a year ago, was on life support for a few days and then died.
My husbands doctor says he is healthy enough for ”that"

If I get shocked, will it be serious enough I wont be able to call an ambulence? If so will I also need to be treated at the er?

My friend’s husband did not have a defibrillator.

CPR is a simple but effective procedure that allows almost anyone to sustain life in the first critical minutes of cardiac arrest. It provides oxygenated blood to the brain and heart, long enough to keep vital organs alive until professional rescuers arrive. AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is an electronic device that can deliver a shock of electricity to get to return to a normal heartbeat. AEDs are very accurate and easy to use. With a few hours of training, anyone can learn to operate an AED safely.

During a heart attack, the upper and
lower parts of the heart can begin
contracting at different rates. Often
these contractions are extremely
rapid. This fluttery unsynchronized
beating, called fibrillation, pumps
little or no blood and can damage
the heart. A defibrillator uses a jolt
of electricity to momentarily stop
the heart so that it can return to a
normal beat
A defibrillator consists of two
parallel charged plates called a parallel-plate
capacitor, connected to a power
supply and discharging pads. A typical
defibrillator stores about 0.4 C
on the plates, creating a potential
difference of approximately 2 kV
between the plates.
When discharged through conductive
pads placed on the patient’s
chest, the capacitor delivers about
0.4 kJ of electrical energy in 0.002 s.
Roughly 200 J of this energy passes
through the patient’s chest.
A defibrillator uses a highvoltage
capacitor to help save lives.
Such capacitors have many other
applications in other electrical and
electronic devices, such as the highvoltage
power supplies for cathoderay
tubes in older televisions and
computer monitors.
The charge stored in such capacitors
can be dangerous. Products containing
such high-voltage capacitors
are designed to protect the users from
any dangerous voltages. However,
service technicians must be careful
when working on these devices.
Since the capacitors store charge,
they can deliver a nasty shock even
after the device is unplugged.
Questions
1. How does the magnitude of the
power delivered by the plates
compare with the actual power
delivered to the chest by the jolt?
2. Identify a feature of televisions
that demonstrates an important
application of parallel-plate
capacitors.
3. If a defibrillator can store 0.392 C
of charge in 30 s, how many
electrons are stored in this
time period?

Alberta Health Services Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) program is designed to increase survivability from sudden cardiac arrest through education and empowering in the public through the use of public-access Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The Grande Prairie EMS Foundation and Alberta Health Services have produced this short commercial showing how an AED can effectively safe a life.

If not that, then what do you do to treat a heart attack?

BizBash (www.bizbash.com),the trade media for the event industry, hosted a forum on emergency preparedness for events featuring Dr.DR. MARSHALL MORGAN, CHIEF OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE AT THE RONALD REAGAN UCLA MEDICAL CENTER. In this segment Dr. Morgan talks about what you need to keep your event safe from defibrillators to having spotters walk around your event making sure that everyone is ok. DR. MORGAN IS A CLINICAL PROFESSOR AT THE UCLA SCHOOL OF MEDICINE. HE IS BOARD CERTIFIED IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE, INTERNAL MEDICINE AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. HE IS A FELLOW OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS, THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF EMERGENCY PHYSICIANS, AND THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE
