The representatives of the two sessions proposed to configure AEDs in public places, and the instrument market may welcome new opportunities

According to news from Chinanews.com on March 2, from the ongoing National Two Sessions, Zhu Lieyu, deputy to the National People's Congress, suggested that automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) should be scientifically, rationally and effectively deployed in public places to allow automatic external defibrillation. Like fire extinguishers, AEDs can be valued and widely used, allowing the public to dare, know how to use AEDs, and make good use of AEDs, which will greatly improve the success rate of rescue of sudden cardiac death. As soon as the news came out, it attracted widespread public attention. Many netizens expressed their support and called for the proposal to be passed and implemented as soon as possible. Seize the golden 4 minutes is called“lifesaver”The AED is a portable medical device, its Chinese name is automatic external defibrillator, also known as automatic external shock, automatic shock, automatic defibrillator, cardiac defibrillator, etc. It can also provide shock-defibrillation when diagnosing specific arrhythmias, and because of its easy-to-use features, non-professionals can quickly get started. AEDs are mainly used in medical scenarios for rescuing cardiac arrest patients. When a patient's cardiac arrest is detected, there is a consensus in the medical community that"Gold 4 minutes"Rescue method. 4 minutes is the best rescue time. Using AED to defibrillate and resuscitate patients at the first time can effectively prevent sudden death. It can be said that for the rescue of cardiac arrest patients, whether AEDs can be used correctly in the first time is a battle with death. There are a lot of sudden death incidents in my country every year, and there are AED-related configurations in many public places. According to the statistics of the National Cardiovascular Center in 2019, there are more than 550,000 cases of sudden cardiac death in my country each year, ranking first in the world. However, in my country, the rescue success rate of cardiac arrest is extremely low, and less than 1% of patients can be rescued and survived, which is far lower than the average rescue success rate of 15% in developed countries. This is related to the characteristics of sudden death. The general performance of sudden death is sudden, and it only takes a few minutes from the onset to death, so sudden death is called medically.“devil hour”, 87% of cardiac arrests occur outside the hospital. If there is no AED around, or no relevant professionals know how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the rescue rate will be greatly reduced. Based on this, in recent years, many cities in my country have realized the importance of AED configuration, and have carried out a lot of AED configuration work in public places. For example, in Beijing, according to a previous report from Chinanews.com, in October 2020, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transportation and the Beijing Municipal Health Commission jointly launched the work of deploying automatic external defibrillators in rail transit stations. Strive to achieve full coverage of AED equipment in all rail transit stations in Beijing by the end of 2022, and the training and certification rate of front-line station personnel will reach more than 80%. Coincidentally, in June 2020, the Nanjing Red Cross Society and Nanjing Metro jointly launched the second batch of automated external defibrillators. At that time, it was planned to achieve full AED coverage of Nanjing Metro stations within 2020. All localities are expected to develop the AED configuration instrument market or usher in new opportunities. For a long time, the configuration of AEDs is generally in hospitals, airports and other professional institutions or large venues, such as the well-known Peking University People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University Chest Hospital, Beijing Daxing International Airport , Capital Airport, etc., as well as scientific research institutes and universities such as the School of Geographical Sciences and Planning of Sun Yat-sen University, Tsinghua University, etc., but the allocation rate is still at the bottom. With the proposal of the deputies to the National People's Congress and the widespread attention of the society, cities in various regions are expected to fully carry out AED configuration work in public places for a long time to come, such as rail transit places with high voices and dense crowds, subway stations and railway stations. , bus stations, etc., as well as outdoor sports venues with frequent sudden death incidents, such as parks, stadiums, etc., will usher in a new wave of opportunities for the instrument market.
