The Municipal Sports Pavilion Jumilla already has a semi-automatic external defibrillator.
It is the first that has been enabled, but the Sports Council intends to acquire additional facilities for other sports.
Jumilla is one of the first municipalities in the Region of Murcia has this type of equipment.
Has cost 1,800 euros and for the manager José Luis Monreal Sports "is a very important acquisition because it ensures the safety of both athletes and amateurs who come to our sports facilities."
Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are small units that consist of a small computer that can analyze heart rhythms and identify those rhythms that can be treated with electric shock, a battery capable of releasing large amounts of energy to determine whether a shock should be administered and apply appropriate electrical therapy and a light system, speakers and voice recording that guides the operator during the process.
When there is a vital danger to the patient, the defibrillator is the best example of the effectiveness of the assistance by non-physicians or nurses as they can act in the shortest possible time and with high levels of quality and efficiency.
Many sudden cardiac emergencies related to ventricular fibrillation (abnormal heart rhythms and fatal).
Defibrillation, which is performed by applying a shock to the heart with a measured dose of electricity, may allow the heart to resume a normal rhythm.
Defibrillation is the only effective treatment for ventricular fibrillation.
If defibrillation is applied at the beginning of the sequence of resuscitation, people who experience a heart attack are more likely to survive.
