Abstract

The occurrence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a critical life-threatening event that often warrants initial defibrillation with a semi-automated external defibrillator (SAED). In INDIA, about 4280 deaths in 1Lakh are due to SCA. The optimization of allocating a limited number of SAEDs in various types of communities is challenging. Hence this paper presents the implementation of an off-hospital rural and urban public access defibrillators. This defibrillator is a semi-automated defibrillator, a medical device which analyse the patient’s electrocardiogram in order to establish whether he/she is suffering from ventricular fibrillation and if necessary, delivers an electric shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.
