Defibrillator pads are a useful tool for the management of fatal heart rhythm disturbances that occur in complex or reoperative cardiac surgery. While these internal defibrillation can not be reached. Thus, two external pad stickers are attached to the patient before the supply of electricity for defibrillation or cardioversion is delivered. It dispenses with the need for removal of adhesive surgical drapes and the inefficient use of external defibrillatorPaddle.
Defibrillator pads are made of a thin flexible wire trapped between a protective backing layer of polymer and a hydro-gel adhesive. These pads to emerge unscathed from the CPR and harsh conditions. Soft, flexible and oval, these pads correspond to the contours of the body for increased contact area and adhesion. These electrodes can be several important functions such as ECG monitoring, external pacing and cardioversion, and serve toDefibrillation.
Defibrillators have been since their invention in the traditionally used on adults. Unfortunately, in recent times, there are many children who died of cardiac arrest. Special defibrillator pads can be safely used on children younger than 8 years or 55 pounds. As the American Association of Health guidelines, 50 drawings J provides enough power to ensure that children under 8 years or 55 pounds at least 2 J / kg
Defibrillator pads to facilitateDefibrillator shock from the adult dose of 150 Joules, 50 Joules, an appropriate dose for infants and young children. The pad has been carefully designed to ensure safety in the treatment of infants and children. Their packaging, graphics and pink bear-shaped connector clearly communicate that they are for children.
It is not possible to perform defibrillation significant clinical trials to test the effectiveness of child shocks because of ethical reasons. American Health Association has establishedin a sensitivity of 96% and a specificity of 100%.
If a child is suffering from cardiac arrest, many traditional banks response protocols on cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A doctor with a manual defibrillator must be available to do so, and not all nurses have the equipment and training. This could lead to a tragic delay.
Automated defibrillator pads are recommended in cases of children with a history of heart disease. You must be passed for use in adults is recommendedcomplex surgical procedures.
