Agóra: Debrecen’s seventh institution that bears the Élet Mentő Point trademark
The trademark was founded with that goal in mind National Ambulance Service In 2018, so that the conditions for immediate life-saving are ensured in as many public places as possible in Hungary.
The Life Saving Point brand name one that displays a value reflecting social responsibility, which its owner represents for the safety of people’s lives. The aim of an initiative that restaurants, shops, sports facilities and service providers connected to the brand should create the conditions for immediate life-saving in the event that someone’s life is suddenly in danger right there, e.g. they need resuscitation due to a sudden cardiac arrest.
The Agóra Scientific Experience Center his colleagues recently attended an ambulance service CPR courserespectively the automatic defibrillator is available at the institutionso the experience center – Seventh in Debrecen he got it “Life Saving Point“ trademark.
From the point of view of the role of surviving sudden cardiac death, it is of great importance to the community to have someone who dares and knows how to provide professional help and start the resuscitation process in case of trouble. After cardiac arrest, the chance of survival decreases by 10% every minute, but blood circulation can be restarted in the first 4-5 minutes without brain damage.
indicated Dr. Ferenc Korcsmáros, Regional Director of the National Ambulance Service at the handover ceremony.
The “Life Saving Point” trademark document Dr. Ferenc Korcsmárosthe Regional Director of the National Ambulance Service handed over to the manager of the Agóra Science Experience Center, To Béla Somogyi.
THE Hungarian Association of Cardiologists according to his statement Seventy people suffer sudden cardiac death in Hungary every day. The process can be reversed within 5 minutes, but beyond 10 minutes there is little chance of survival. In the first 4-5 minutes after cardiac arrest, blood circulation can be restarted without brain damage. There is still a chance for resuscitation until the 10th minute after the heart attack, but at that point irreversible damage to the brain cannot be avoided, and after the 10th minute, unfortunately, the chance of staying alive is gone.
then you need to help someone due to a suspected cardiac arrest, call the ambulance immediately, and then – even as a layperson – you can use the basic resuscitation steps:
clear the airways, apply rhythmic chest compressions, and then apply insufflation ventilation.
Another element of life saving is a defibrillator use. Are you a defibrillator?
Ventricular fibrillation to restart the work of the heart an electric defibrillator is requiredthe with ventilation and chest compressions, we can only win until help arrives. Formed after defibrillation UN. in electric silence, the heart’s own stimulus-generating work begins, which already operating at the appropriate frequency suitable for the body’s blood supply. The AEDs (automatic external defibrillators) connected to the patient with electrodes able to analyze the heart rhythm, they communicate with the first aid providerdetection of ventricular fibrillation alert us to the need for electric shocks, and we lifesavers only have to enable the life-saving electric shock with the push of a button.
A defibrillator is a life-saving device, but it is not a substitute for CPR.
After the shock is delivered CPR should be continued for 2 minutes, in vital signs do not return, the rhythm analysis and defibrillation must be repeated. In cases where the device a It sends a “SHOCK NOT RECOMMENDED” messagewe perform CPR and We repeat the analysis every 2 minutes, the continue CPR until the ambulance arrives.
Dare to save lives!
