What are the different types of defibrillator?

There are three types: semi-automatic defibrillators (AEDs), fully automatic defibrillators (FADs ) and manual defibrillators. Automatic and semi-automatic defibrillators are intended for the general public, while manual defibrillators are strictly reserved for professional medical staff trained in this type of device.

Semi-automatic

The rescuer must press the device’s “Shock” button to deliver the shock to the victim of cardiac arrest. This ensures that no one touches the victim before the device delivers the shock. If the victim comes into physical contact with someone standing next to them, that person could receive a strong electric shock involuntarily. The semi-automatic defibrillator allows the rescuer to make the final decision on shock delivery. This is because it can take into account the environment around the victim, unlike the device.

Fully automatic

After giving clear voice instructions and performing a countdown, the device decides to deliver the shock itself. To simplify the procedure, the system specifies that only rescuers must remain with the person concerned. To prevent people coming into contact with the victim.

Conclusion

Whether it’s a
semi-automatic
or
automatic
it performs heart rhythm analysis and diagnosis automatically. Unlike manual defibrillators used by medical professionals. The machine delivers the shock only when cardiorespiratory exercise warrants it. Consequently, cardiac massage must be interrupted before the shock can be administered. If the victim’s heart has no shockable rhythm, the defibrillator indicates that there is no recommendation for a shock, so rescuers continue to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, increasing the victim’s chances of survival.
