When the human heart exceeds 100 beats per minute, there is cause for concern. Relatively if the same heart has less than 60 beats per minute, it is cause for alarm, a condition called arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat rhythm).  It can be triggered to have an irregular rhythm by conditions such as overindulgence in alcohol, tobacco, immediate changes in posture, fluids containing caffeine, and some over-the-counter medicines.

But not to worry, defibrillators are gadgets specifically designed to restore the heart to normal.  They function by sending an electric shock to the heart.  Though relatively small, their major function is to restart a heart that had abruptly stopped beating.

There are three types of defibrillators, the Automated External Defibrillator (AED), Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD), and Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD).

The Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable device that is the most common in the trio. Anyone in a cardiac arrest can use it as it comes with an easy-to-use menu.  It’s recommended to have an AED in office spaces and on all local transport aids. AED is a great and safe first aid asset for homes and different organizations.

The Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD), unlike its counterpart, can only be administered by a trained heart surgeon as it is placed inside the body.

The wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) – this gadget is placed upon the body in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest. It can be found in hospitals, as it is administered by doctors only.

What to consider when purchasing a defibrillator?

  • Consider the price

Whenever you set yourself up to purchase a defibrillator, consider all costs. Some gadgets are more expensive because they use electricity as opposed to just batteries.

  • Consider the manufacturer.

With so many fake productions of gadgets, ensure that you have a new device. That has not been used before or revamped. Do your due diligence and order from the company of choice. Don’t buy from a site that is not certified by the company.

  • Consider the ease of usage.

You want to purchase a user-friendly gadget. Attached to the gadget should encompass a well-written menu with a video attached to help a new user.

  • Consider the incorporations

Some manufacturers often attach other helpful treasures that would come in handy with the gadget, i.e., carry cases, a spare set of pads, an extra battery, a mounting wall bracket, etc.

 

  • Full warranty

This is especially because of the warranty; since the AED is used more often, it’s hard to avoid wear and tear. Some manufacturers offer great packages that support little accidents.

In Conclusion.

 It is important to note that gadgets with strong magnetic fields might interfere with your ICD. Whenever you are using a mobile phone, use it on the right-hand side because the ICD is on the left. Unbeknownst to many people, headphones have a high magnetic element.

However, that is not to stop you from using it if you have an ICD. Practice caution and wear them as far as you can from the ICD. When you are traveling, especially through the airport, remember to carry your ICD notification identity to avoid the metal detectors used for security. Follow the manufacture’s guidelines and stay safe.
