2 Objectives Describe AED and Discuss its Use Describe Sudden Cardiac Arrest Identify the need for Public Access Defibrillation Describe MIEMSS and its role in PAD Discuss recent regulatory changes to PAD program Discuss how organizations can participate in Maryland s PAD Program

3 AED Description Small, Portable, Automated Device used on individuals in Sudden Cardiac Arrest Recognizes Ventricular Fibrillation (VF=SCA)-deadly cardiac rhythm Automatically Delivers Shock when Appropriate or Advises Individual to Push Shock Button Very Easy to Use May be used by Laypersons

4 What does a Cardiac Arrest Look Like????

5 Sudden Cardiac Arrest Life Threatening Event Collapse with No Warning V-Fib-Heart is Quivering & Cannot Pump Oxygenated Blood No chance of Survival without early CPR and AED 7-10% Decrease in Survival with each Passing Moment

6 Sudden Cardiac Arrest Occurs more often in Adults over 50 Often no Prior Signs or Symptoms Prior SCA= likelihood of repeat occurrence Causes may include Congenital Defects/Anomalies (previously diagnosed or undiagnosed) Electrical Cardiac Abnormalities Commotio Cordis-sudden impact to chest by object often during athletic events in children or adolescents

7 The Need for PAD There are an Estimated 250, ,000 SCAs in the U.S. each Year In Maryland there are approximately 4,000 SCAs each year. The national published median for survival from SCA is 6.4% In the Maryland PAD program ROSC* is 22% for all SCA and 29% for witnessed. *Return of Spontaneous Circulation Report to the MD General Assembly Re:Placement of AEDs. MIEMSS December 2007

8 The Evidence for PAD Literature demonstrates that: Training and equipping volunteers to attempt early defibrillation within a structured response system can increase the number of survivors to hospital discharge after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in public locations. Trained nonmedical responders can use AEDs safely and effectively. N Engl J Med Aug 12, 351(7): J Cardiovasc Nurs Nov-Dec; 19(6):384-9
