4. Understanding cardiac arrest and the need for
immediate intervention
• Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening emergency that occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating effectively. It is a
condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age or pre-existing health conditions. In fact, statistics show that cardiac
arrest claims millions of lives worldwide each year. The alarming reality is that time is of the essence when it comes to
saving a person's life during a cardiac arrest episode. Immediate intervention is crucial.
• During cardiac arrest, the heart's electrical system malfunctions, causing an irregular heartbeat or stopping it altogether.
This disruption prevents the heart from pumping blood to the body and vital organs, leading to a loss of consciousness
and, ultimately, death if not promptly addressed.
• This is where defibrillators play a critical role. These life-saving devices deliver an electric shock to the heart, which
helps restore its normal rhythm. The sooner a defibrillator is used, the better the chances of survival for the person
experiencing cardiac arrest. Every minute that passes without defibrillation decreases the survival rate by around 7-
10%.

• A defibrillator, also known as an automated external defibrillator (AED), is a life-saving device
that plays a critical role in the event of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). It is designed to deliver an
electric shock to the heart, restoring its normal rhythm and potentially saving a person's life.
• So, how does a defibrillator work? First and foremost, it is essential to understand the
mechanism behind sudden cardiac arrest. SCA occurs when the heart's electrical system
malfunctions, causing an irregular heartbeat or stopping it altogether. This can happen
unexpectedly, and without immediate intervention, can lead to irreversible brain damage or even
death within minutes.
• When a defibrillator is applied to a person experiencing SCA, it analyzes the heart's rhythm to
determine whether a shock is necessary. These devices are designed to be user-friendly, even for
individuals with limited medical training. Once the defibrillator identifies a shockable rhythm, it
delivers an electrical current to the heart through adhesive pads placed on the person's chest.

7. What is a defibrillator and how does it
work?
• The shock administered by the defibrillator briefly stops the heart's electrical activity,
allowing the heart's natural pacemaker to take control and restore a normal rhythm.
This process, known as defibrillation, is crucial in restarting the heart and maintaining
blood flow to vital organs.
• The prompt use of a defibrillator significantly increases the chances of survival for
someone experiencing SCA. Studies have shown that for every minute that passes
without defibrillation, the chances of survival decrease by approximately 10%.
Therefore, having a defibrillator readily available in public spaces, workplaces, and
homes can make a life-saving difference in critical situations.
• Additionally, defibrillators not only save lives but also provide peace of mind to
