1. 심정지 즉 심장마비에 대비 하는법

대부분의 사람들은 가슴 통증, 왼팔 따끔거림, 호흡곤란과 같은 심장마비의 일반적인 징후는 알고 있지만, 심장의 전기적 고장으로 몸과 뇌에 혈액을 공급하는 능력에 지장을 줄 때 경고 없이 덮치는 갑작스러운 심정지(SCA)에 대해서는 덜 인지할 수 있다. 

피해자들은 도움을 요청하기 전에 갑자기 기절할 수 있으며, 10% 미만이 살아남는다. 홀아버지인 앨런 윌리엄스는 SCA 생존자로 경각심을 일깨우고 더 많은 생명을 구하는 데 도움을 주기 위해 자신의 이야기를 나눈다. SCA를 경험한 많은 사람들은 이전의 심장 질환이 없었다.

 

 그러나 다른 사람들에게는 이전의 심장 사건이나 진단이 SCA에 더 큰 위험을 초래하고, 더 높은 위험이 있는 것으로 알려진 사람들에게는 생명을 구하는 치료 방법이 있다. SCA에 대한 가장 효과적인 치료법은 전기 충격을 사용하여 심장을 정상 박동으로 복원하는 제세 동이다.

윌리엄스와 같은 이러한 위험에 처한 심장 환자들은 잠자는 동안에도 24시간 심장 박동을 감시하도록 설계된 독특한 착용형 제세동기인 ZOLL LifeVest로 마음의 평화를 누릴 수 있고, 특정한 비정상적인 심장 박동을 감지하면 생명을 구하는 충격을 줄 수 있다. 캔자스 시티의 윌리엄스는 심장 질환이 그를 SCA의 위험에 빠뜨렸기 때문에 LifeVest를 처방받았다. LifeVest와 함께, 윌리엄스는 그의 일상 활동을 계속할 수 있었다. 

 

나는 일하러 돌아왔습니다라고 그는 말한다. 저는 LifeVest를 가지고 있었기 때문에, 만약 무슨 일이 발생한다면, 저를 돌볼 것이라는 것을 알았습니다. 윌리엄스는 아들과 함께 빨래방에 있는 동안 SCA를 경험하기 전에 한 달 동안 라이프 베스트를 입었다. 

 

그는 갑자기 의식을 잃었고, 약 1분 안에 LifeVest는 윌리엄스의 정상적인 심장 박동을 회복하고 그의 생명을 구하는 치료 충격을 전달했습니다. 치료 후, 윌리엄스는 의식을 되찾았고, 구급대원들은 그를 지역 병원으로 데려갔습니다. LifeVest가 없었다면 저는 지금 이 자리에 앉아 있지 못했을 것입니다.라고 윌리엄스는 말합니다. LifeVest 웨어러블 제세동기는 의복, 전극 벨트 및 모니터로 구성됩니다. 

 

의복은 필요할 때 생명을 구하는 충격을 전달하도록 설계된 전극 벨트가 포함되어 있기 때문에 의복 아래 피부에 직접 맞닿아 착용합니다. 모니터는 허리에 두르거나 어깨끈에 착용할 수 있습니다. LifeVest는 적절한 치료를 제공하기 위해 자동으로 응답할 수 있으므로 다른 사람의 도움이 필요하지 않습니다.

 

대부분의 사람들은 심장이 강해 지거나 의사가 장기적인 치료를 결정할 때까지 SCA에 대한 단기 보호 목적으로 LifeVest를 착용한다. 귀하 또는 귀하의 가족이 특정 심장 질환을 앓고 있는 경우 담당 의사는 LifeVest를 추천할 수 있습니다.

윌리엄스는 라이프 베스트가 내 목숨을 구했다고 말한다. 그것은 나에게 미래를 주었다. 그는 당신은 당신의 건강을 당연하게 여기지 않을 것입니다.라고 덧붙였습니다.

Lifesaving Wearable Saves Single Father from Cardiac Arrest

(NewsUSA)

 

-Most people know the common signs of a heart attack, such as chest pain, left arm tingling, or shortness of breath, but they may be less aware of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), which strikes without warning when an electrical malfunction in the heart disrupts its ability to pump blood to the body and brain. Victims may suddenly pass out before they can call for help, and fewer than ten percent survive.Alan Williams, a single father, is an SCA survivor who shares his story to help raise awareness and save more lives.Many people who experience SCA have not had any prior heart issues. However, for others, a prior cardiac event or diagnosis puts them at greater risk for SCA, and for those known to be at higher risk, there are lifesaving treatment options available. The most effective treatment for SCA is defibrillation, which is the use of an electrical shock to restore the heart to normal rhythm.These at-risk heart patients, such as Williams, may be able to enjoy peace of mind with ZOLL LifeVest, a unique wearable defibrillator, which is designed to monitor heart rhythms around the clock, even during sleep, and deliver a lifesaving shock if it detects certain abnormal heart rhythms.Williams, of Kansas City, was prescribed LifeVest because a heart condition put him at risk for SCA. With LifeVest, Williams was able to continue his daily activities. "I was back to work, " he says. "Because I had LifeVest, I knew that if something happened, it would take care of me."Williams wore LifeVest for one month before experiencing SCA while in the laundromat with his son. He suddenly lost consciousness, and within about one minute, LifeVest delivered a treatment shock that restored Williams’s normal heart rhythm and saved his life. After the treatment, Williams regained consciousness, and paramedics took him to a local hospital."If it had not been for the LifeVest, I wouldn’t be sitting here right now, " says Williams.The LifeVest wearable defibrillator consists of a garment, electrode belt, and monitor. The garment is worn under the clothing, directly against the skin, as it contains the electrode belt designed to deliver lifesaving shocks when needed. The monitor can be worn around the waist or on a shoulder strap. No bystander assistance is needed; LifeVest can respond automatically to provide appropriate treatment.Most individuals wear LifeVest as short-term protection against SCA, until their heart becomes stronger or until their doctor determines a long-term treatment. If you or your family member suffers from certain heart diseases, your doctor may recommend LifeVest."LifeVest saved my life, " Williams says. "It gave me a future."He adds, "You don’t want to ever take your health for granted."
