If the patient is found to be in cardiac arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), external defibrillator defibrillation, and drug resuscitation need to be performed immediately in sequence.
1. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR): In the absence of defibrillator and other emergency equipment or conditions, you need to make the patient lie flat on the hard ground, press the lower part of the patient’s sternum quickly and vigorously for 30 times, and then perform artificial respiration for 2 times, and so on until the emergency personnel arrive at the scene.
2. External defibrillator defibrillation: In public places, you can use automatic external defibrillator (AED) to defibrillate, and in hospitals, you need to use defibrillator to defibrillate with electric shock.
3. Drug resuscitation: Medical personnel will give patients epinephrine, amiodarone, atropine and other drugs in the process of resuscitation, which can play a role in restoring the heartbeat.
If you find someone fainting or losing consciousness, you should call 120 immediately and use CPR and AED to save the patient’s life as much as possible before the emergency personnel arrive.
