Defibrillation Pads: Essential Tools for Saving Lives

By Amy Jeary Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death worldwide, claiming millions of lives each year. But with early defibrillation, delivering an electric shock to restore the heart's normal rhythm, can significantly increase the chances of survival. And that's where defibrillation pads come in. What are defibrillation pads? Defibrillation pads are adhesive electrodes placed on a person's chest during cardiac arrest. They work by conducting an electric current from a defibrillator to the heart. This current can help to reset the heart's electrical rhythm and restore normal function. How do defibrillation pads work? When attached to a defibrillator, the pads deliver an electric shock to the heart. The shock disrupts the heart's abnormal rhythm, allowing the electrical signals to travel through the heart more efficiently and…

Now, we need to consider any and all touch points whether the patient presents with COVID-19 symptoms or not, simply for the protection of anyone entering the hospital. One of the touch points that sees a great deal of patient and staff traffic is that of the patient monitoring device and specifically the monitoring electrodes, wires and trunk cable.…
