Zoll Aed: Value And Usability In Healthcare

The best thing about Zoll Aed is that these are user friendly devices and can be used by a lay person with minimum training. The standard visual and voice prompt feature in AEDs makes it perfectly easy for the rescuer to use the device. Human life is precious and you can help to save a victim of sudden cardiac arrest by using AED life saving devices.

With the increase in awareness about Zoll Aed, the companies and organizations need to be prepared to tackle a situation involving cardiac emergency  or they face greater threat of being involved in a law suit. In fact, there have been instances where lawsuits were filed for not having an AED. In 1996, Busch Gardens had to pay $ 500,000 in damages to the plaintiff for death of her teenage daughter as the employees of Busch Gardens were not trained to provide emergency care. Lufthansa Airlines was sued for not being able to treat a passenger victimized by sudden cardiac arrest. A suit was also filed against United Airlines by a widow whose husband had died from sudden cardiac arrest. She alleged that the airline was not carrying proper medical equipment to provide timely treatment to her husband.

For buying an Zoll Aed, a prescription from a physician is required according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Though the rules may differ from state to state but almost every state requires an individual to undergo basic CPR and AED courses from organizations like American Heart Association. Laws were also passed so that people could help a victim of sudden cardiac arrest in an emergency medical situation without fear of any repercussions. In November 2000, the Cardiac Arrest Survival Act (CASA) was signed into law and it directs that automated external defibrillators should be placed in federal buildings. It also exempts Good Samaritans from any liability for providing defibrillation in case of sudden cardiac arrest.

In case of a sudden cardiac arrest, every passing minute reduces the chances of victim’s survival. Hence, it is important to impart AED trainings. AED life saving devices are being used by firefighters, police officers, lifeguards and are available at various places where public gathers, such as railway stations, airports, offices, sports arenas, and casinos.

It is important that the victim gets CPR until the EMS personnel reach the spot. Most people are not aware of the fact that not all the victims of sudden cardiac arrest require defibrillation. Around half of the victims can be revived by CPR which involves chest compressions. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR is essential to help in flow of oxygenated blood to brain and other vital organs. It is important to learn CPR techniques and using an Zoll Aed as most sudden cardiac victims die because bystanders are unaware of what they should do to help the victim.
