In terms of cardioprotection, the defibrillator is an indispensable tool for any workplace. Whether in a doctor's office or a company, a defibrillator is the only effective treatment for cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation, tachycardia, or other heart problems.
For some years now in our country there has been the obligation to have a defibrillator present not only in health facilities but also in sports clubs and workplaces.
The concept of cardio protection is one of the most suitable contexts for cardio protection is that of the dental office. During a dental intervention the risks can be many and it is good to prepare to intervene through the use of semi-automatic defibrillators in case of cardiac arrest.
It is an innovative model of AED (automated external defibrillator), easy to use, indicated in public environments, schools, sports centers, companies, medical offices and also on-board ships and airplanes.
The Philips AED Trainer FR3 defibrillator is perfect for first aid training and training courses. This model, available on our store, features eight realistic scenarios developed in accordance with international emergency programs.

The history of the Defibrillator

The origins of the defibrillator date back to 1899. The first prototype of AED was born, thanks to the University of Geneva and physiologists Jean Louis Prrvost and Frédéric Batelli who through research into the ventricular fibrillation system discovered the possibility of administering electrical impulses on the cardiac surface of some dogs to combat episodes of cardiac arrhythmia.
The discovery was considered revolutionary to the point that within a few years the defibrillator became more and more performing and in step with the times. The first modern defibrillator was born in 1933 thanks to Dr. Albert S. Hyman. The device, called Hyman's Otor, was composed of a steel avo needle crossed by an insulated electric wire, both connected to the terminals of a light bulb and to a power generator. In this way it was possible to regulate the electrical impulses. In 1947 the pads applied to the defibrillator debut, while in 1950 Zoll developed an external pacemaker. In 1965 comes the first portable defibrillator that served to save the life of American President Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1972.

How the defibrillator works
Today defibrillators have become more and more performing, precise and efficient. The defibrillator works through precise electrical discharges that are transmitted to the heart through two metal plates positioned on the chest.

Obviously not all defibrillators are the same. In addition to the defibrillator price, it is necessary to evaluate various factors such as the models, the operation and the defibrillator costs. In fact, there are several models such as the manual defibrillator, the semi-automatic defibrillator, the automatic defibrillator and the implantable one, such as the one used for the Danish champion Christian Eriksen after the cardiac arrest that hit him during Denmark-Finland at Euro2020.
