Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 The Zoll unit does just that, and more. It prompts them through the entire CPR sequence in case they forgot. But, as soon as the pads are attached, it skips right to the " analyze " phase, as it should. So itt is feasible, and even being done. =Steve= Meredith Vetterick wrote: >Might be cheaper if you had the first thing the AED tells you to do after >turning it on is to instruct " call 911 now " .

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I agree that AED's should be tested periodically (as is supposed to be done), but not for training. That is what AED trainers are for. As for a alarm going off when it is being tested, a test bypass circuit should not be too hard to install I would think. Something similar to the test switch on blackout lights for buildings. As far as false alarms ago, two models could be developed. One working with sat com technology and another working with the " burglar alarm " type system. That way, if some AED's are set up in a building with security personnel and use the alarm system, they would be notified and could determine if it's a false alarm or not and act appropriately. Others set up in public areas such as parks and whatnot could operate on the sat com technology to activate the come say, when the leads are plugged in. I thought about it doing it when a shock is delivered, but not all rhythms are shockable (as I recall form my last AED class last year), and those cases, the patient still needs help, so having the com activate when the leads are plugged in might be a better idea. In either case, I would rather be rolled out for a false alarm than called too late. In any case Red, keep it coming. You playing the devils advocate is really helping me flesh this out.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 All AED's test themselves each morning somewhere between 2 - 3 am. If there is a problem, there are indicators on the units to show that they are not in working order. Also most give an audible signal, like smoke detectors with low batteries, to indicate a problem. As an option, most AED providers also sell cabinets for public places. These cabinets have local alarms that sound when either the door is opened, or the unit is removed from the cabinet. A second feature of the cabinet is an option that will send a signal through phone lines to a security/dispatch office to alert someone that the cabinet has been opened. A.

Those cabinets are great, as they discourage people from randomly dicking around with the unit, yet they offer a key-bypass for authorized personnel to access the unit for training and maintenence without tripping the alarm. When installing AED's in public buildings, I have instructed the personnel there to always treat that cabinet alarm as a signal to call 911 immediately. If it goes off, you either have a medical emergency or a felony theft in progress. Either way, you need 911. The problem is, many businesses who do not have the general public coming through skip buying a cabinet because they cost over $500 dollars each.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 yeah, calling when the leads plugged in is a good idea, that way the unit could turned on for testing and such, and the key by-pass for the cabinet is also a good idea. in the cases of AEDs in public places, and a local alarm going off, a strobe would probably be helpful as well, like on fire alarms, but it only going off at the station, a strobe on the cabinet or above it, high enough to be seen easily. so in malls or other large places crowded with alot of people, it would give us direction if we had vague directions or no escort. and in large multistory buildings, an panel next to the fire alarm panel that would show the location of the cabinet that had been activated, just like the fire alarm panel. we're sure gettin somewhere with this idea!

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I don't think the strobe thing would be good for an indicator of where the unit is being used at, only where it came from unless the area in question has a lot of them at regular intervals. Since cell phones can be located by GPS, these units could be as well even if voice coms are impractical for some reason. I recently saw a news story (on channel 5 news in San ) about cell phones that parents can give to their kids that have tracking devices in them so the parents will know where their kids are at (or at least their phones). If its affordable for such use, then the same tech can be applied here for not much money in an AED even if it doesn't have sat com ability. I had forgotten about that story till just now. I wonder if that route would be more practical. It could also be used to track stolen units. I know they sound like an unlikely theft item, but some of the things I've seen stolen over the years where I work have definitely shown me that some gene pools run a might shallow. Anyway, we sure are getting somewhere here, but the question is what do we do with the ideas? Personal financial considerations aside (which might sound strange, but those considerations don't have much hold on me... I must need a drink ;-} ), how does one get the manufacturers to take these ideas seriously enough to look into implementing them?

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I don't think the strobe thing would be good for an indicator of where the unit is being used at, only where it came from unless the area in question has a lot of them at regular intervals. Since cell phones can be located by GPS, these units could be as well even if voice coms are impractical for some reason. I recently saw a news story (on channel 5 news in San ) about cell phones that parents can give to their kids that have tracking devices in them so the parents will know where their kids are at (or at least their phones). If its affordable for such use, then the same tech can be applied here for not much money in an AED even if it doesn't have sat com ability. I had forgotten about that story till just now. I wonder if that route would be more practical. It could also be used to track stolen units. I know they sound like an unlikely theft item, but some of the things I've seen stolen over the years where I work have definitely shown me that some gene pools run a might shallow. Anyway, we sure are getting somewhere here, but the question is what do we do with the ideas? Personal financial considerations aside (which might sound strange, but those considerations don't have much hold on me... I must need a drink ;-} ), how does one get the manufacturers to take these ideas seriously enough to look into implementing them?
