Your actions can save lives. Call 118 in an emergency.
By implementing emergency life-saving measures before the ambulance arrives, a higher survival rate can be expected. In the event of a sudden accident or a medical emergency, the improvement of the emergency response system has increased the survival rate compared to before. Additionally, timely actions taken by bystanders can save precious lives or prevent serious illnesses or injuries.
Even without knowledge of emergency life-saving procedures, individuals can perform airway management, oxygen inhalation, suction, and artificial respiration using the "Artificial Respirator Unit 118." By using an AED in conjunction with these measures until the ambulance or medical personnel arrive, effective "cardiopulmonary resuscitation" and "artificial respiration" can be performed.
An AED is not effective during cardiac arrest and is only a viable option during ventricular fibrillation. In such cases, the basics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation are artificial respiration and chest compressions (cardiac massage).
