"Ich hatte immer so 'nen Schiss vor Reanimation", erinnert sich Litti an seine Zeit auf der Normalstation. Auf der ITS tägliche Realität, ist die Wiederbelebung in den meisten anderen Bereichen den Pflege nicht die Norm. In der Theorie können wir das natürlich auch alle - aber mal Hand aufs Herz: Wer traut es sich sicher zu? Wir haben diese Woche Marek, ITS-Pfleger und Rettungsassistent, oder auch "der Reanimator", zu uns eingeladen. Er ist Experte für Reanimation und bildet auch aus. Er erklärt uns, was eigentlich die richtige Technik ist (da hat sich viel getan), wann Defibrillator, wann Drücken und wie er auch Laien die Reanimation beibringt. Wie automatisiert kann heutzutage eigentlich das Leben eines Menschen gerettet werden? Und natürlich hat der Reanimator den Defibrillator dabei - Test in der Folge! Reinhören, Defi hören, durchhören!

The National Ambulance Service says it will consider a proposal to map Clare's defibrillators on Google Maps. It follows a request from Clare County Council for locations to be published and made publicly available to assist with emergency incidents. There are over 9,000 Automated External Defibrillators in Ireland, but even the National Ambulance Service has acknowledged that many are never used as their whereabouts are unknown. Newmarket-On-Fergus Fianna Fáil Councillor David Griffin believes it would save lives.

A new Drone Emergency Medical Services (DEMS) has now entered operational service in the Forges-les-Eaux area in Normandy, where the system is fully integrated into the regional emergency dispatch chain for suspected cardiac arrest. This marks a significant step in the development of drone-supported emergency medical care in France and means the service is now used in real emergency calls to shorten time to first medical intervention. The drone system is operated by Everdrone in close collaboration with the French emergency dispatch centers (SAMU) and delivers an automated external defibrillator (AED) to the site of a suspected cardiac arrest within minutes - often several minutes before the ambulance arrives. Drone service to deliver automated defibrillators In cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the chance of survival decreases by approximately 7-10 percent for every minute without defibrillation, making early access to an AED absolutely critical. By shortening the time to first intervention, the DEMS service addresses one of the most decisive moments in the entire chain of survival. The project was initiated by Rouen SAMU, where Medical Director Dr. Cédric Damm early on recognized the potential of Everdrone's DEMS model to shorten response times in cardiac arrest cases. The SAMU has worked closely with Delivrone - the leading medical drone operator in France - to implement a solution, and since 2022 Everdrone and Delivrone have collaborated to provide French hospitals with a state-of-the-art DEMS capability. Implementation in Normandy is carried out together with Delivrone, CHU Rouen Normandie (the university hospital in Rouen), Région Normandie, and Mairie de Forges-les-Eaux. Together, these organizations form a long-term partnership with a clear objective: reducing time to first medical action and thereby strengthening survival prospects in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The system in Normandy is based on Everdrone's established DEMS platform, which has been in operational service in Sweden since 2022. The Swedish results - demonstrating clear time savings and improved access to AEDs - have been central in shaping the French service. "Having our system now used in live emergency calls in Normandy demonstrates how quickly DEMS technology can create tangible value. Together with our regional partners, we are taking an important step toward giving more patients life-saving support several minutes earlier than is possible today," says Mats Sällström, CEO of Everdrone. "In cases of cardiac arrest, every minute is critical, and the ability to place an AED on-site several minutes earlier can directly influence a patient's chance of survival. By integrating Everdrone's DEMS system into our dispatch chain, we gain a valuable complement that strengthens our ability to act quickly in the most time-sensitive situations. The project in Normandy shows that drone deliveries can become a natural and effective part of the emergency medical care of the future," says Dr. Cédric Damm, Medical Director, SAMU 76 Rouen. About Everdrone Everdrone AB is a leading provider of autonomous drone systems for emergency response and healthcare, headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Darshan H. Brahmbhatt, Podcast Editor of JACC: Advances, discusses a recently published original research paper on Long-Term Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Lead Dysfunction After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation.
Defibrillators when used are often lifesaving. With many registered defibrillators provided in towns and villages, they are a great resource.While registered, however, it can often be hard to locate. By adding these to Google Maps, residents and visitors will be able to find the nearest defibrillators in the event of an emergency…Do you think Google should make defibrillators available on Google Maps? And if so, how do we use them when needed?Joining guest host Anna Daly to discuss is Patrick Higgins, who called on the HSE and Google to work together, David Hall, CEO of Lifeline Ambulance and listeners.

Google Maps is facing calls to physically map defibrillator locations in Clare. There are over 9,000 Automated External Defibrillators in Ireland, but even the National Ambulance Service acknowledges that many are never used as there wherabouts are unkown. Accessible data bases are available for the NAS and HSE paramedics, but no list exists for the general public. Newmarktet-On-Fergus Fianna Fáil Councillor David Griffin believes there would serious benefits in doing so.

CardioNerds kicks off its advanced therapies series with Chair of the CardioNerds Heart Failure Council, Dr. Jenna Skowronski, co-chair of the series, Dr. Shazli Khan, and Episode FIT lead, Dr. Jason Feinman. In this first episode, they discuss the process of advanced therapies evaluation with Dr. Michelle Kittleson, Professor of Medicine and Director of Education in Heart Failure and Transplantation at Cedars-Sinai. In this case-based discussion, they cover the signs and symptoms of end-stage heart failure, the initial management strategies, and the diagnostic workup required when considering advanced therapies. Importantly, they discuss the special considerations for pursuing left-ventricular assist device (LVAD) versus heart transplantation as well as the multidisciplinary, team-based approach needed when advanced therapies are indicated. Notes were drafted by Dr. Shazli Khan. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Julia Marques Fernandes.

Pearls Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) is indicated in all heart failure patients and improves survival, but progressive symptoms and intolerance to GDMT can be warning signs of disease progression. The I-NEED-HELP mnemonic is an excellent reference when considering referral for advanced therapies (Figure). Management of acute decompensation includes diuretics and possible inotropic support. The inotropic agent used should be whichever best suits your specific patient. Milrinone may result in more hypotension, whereas dobutamine may result in more tachycardia. Tachycardic and normotensive patients may do better with milrinone, while hypotensive patients with normal heart rates may do better with dobutamine. Notably, DoReMi found no difference between milrinone and dobutamine for patients with cardiogenic shock. The initial diagnostic evaluation includes an echocardiogram, right heart catheterization (RHC), and often cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to objectively assess the status of the heart. Comprehensive labs, imaging and cancer screening are also needed to assess all other organs. When making the decision to pursue advanced therapies, always ask: Is the heart sick enough? Is the rest of the body well enough? These two questions provide a framework to guide if patients are optimal candidates for transplant versus LVAD. The advanced therapies evaluation is a team sport! Patients will meet not only with advanced heart failure cardiologists, but also cardiac surgeons, psychiatrists, social workers, nutritionists and pharmacists. All team members are of critical value in the process. Notes 1.) What are the key features of advanced cardiomyopathy, and when should providers consider referral for advanced therapies? Advanced cardiomyopathy may present as recurrent hospitalizations for decompensated heart failure, intolerance to GDMT with symptomatic orthostasis and hypotension, and progressive symptoms of heart failure despite medical therapy. The I-NEED-HELP mnemonic is a helpful tool to identify patients at risk of heart failure and is defined as follows: Need for Inotropic support, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV symptoms, End-Organ Dysfunction, Ejection fraction
Dr. Kenneth Ellenbogen, Deputy Editor of JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, discusses Mental Disorders Following Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Therapy: Incidence and Prognostic Implications in a Nationwide Cohort Study.
Description Join host and HRS Digital Education Committee Chair Michael S. Lloyd, MD, FHRS and his guests Miguel A. Leal, MD, FHRS, and Jason T. Jacobson, MD, FHRS, live at HRX 2025. In this prospective series of 12 device-naïve patients (median LVEF ~30%), the authors attempted permanent implantation of a single-coil DF-4 ICD lead into the left bundle branch area (LBBA). They achieved successful implantation with adequate sensing and pacing in 75% of patients, and during short-term follow-up the lead and RV parameters remained stable; minor complications occurred in ~25% of patients (lead micro-dislodgment and septal perforations). The authors conclude that LBBA ICD lead implantation is feasible with current tools and acceptable short-term outcomes, but note the higher-than-expected minor complication rate and emphasize the need for dedicated toolkits, higher operator volume, and a procedural learning curve. Learning Objectives Describe the procedural feasibility, safety considerations, and short-term outcomes associated with left bundle branch area (LBBA) DF-4 defibrillator lead implantation. Identify key technical caveats and patient selection factors relevant to adopting this emerging pacing strategy in clinical practice.

Cardiac incidents occur without much warning, if any, and time is of the essence to save a life. CPR is important, but a device called an AED - automated external defibrillator - can restart someone's heart quickly, before serious brain damage can set in. While many offices, retail outlets and apartment buildings have these devices, it's not always clear where they are, and that's where Cardiac Crusade comes in. They're rallying volunteers around the country, including here in Massachusetts, to help them map these devices, with hopes of eventually working with tech companies to make it easy for you to find them in times of need. Founder Greg Coon and Massachusetts Executive Director Tyler Mola join Nichole this week to tell their story and share details about their upcoming event in Southie.

Send us a textSeason 2 Episode 52The boys are back, and this week they're joined by a special guest: Mr. Steve Read, who shares his powerful and deeply personal story of surviving a sudden cardiac arrest.Steve recounts the harrowing experience—from the moment he collapsed on the Isle of Wight to waking up in a cardiac ward on the mainland, having been airlifted for emergency treatment.Following a long and challenging recovery, including struggles with his mental health, Steve found a renewed sense of purpose. He went on to establish the IOW Defibrillators charity, an initiative dedicated to placing publicly accessible defibrillators across the Isle of Wight—for residents, businesses, communities, and visitors alike.IOW Defibrillators CharityFounded in 2017 after Steve Read's sudden cardiac arrest, the charity was born from a simple but urgent realisation: rapid access to defibrillators and the ability to perform CPR can mean the difference between life and death.Since then, the charity has gone from strength to strength, powered by the support of local businesses and the wider community. Today, there are over 186 publicly sited defibrillators across the Isle of Wight, with more being added regularly—ensuring more lives can be saved when every second counts.https://iowdefibrillators.uk#HeartTransplant#eatingdisorder#RareCondition#HealthJourney#LifeChangingDiagnosis#MentalHealth#Vulnerability#SelfCompassion#PostTraumaticGrowth#MedicalMiracle#BBCSports#Inspiration#Cardiology#Surgery#Podcast#Healthcare#HeartHealth#MedicalBreakthrough#EmotionalJourney#SupportSystem#HealthcareHeroes#PatientStories#CardiologyCare#MedicalJourney#LifeLessons#MentalWellness#HealthAwareness#InspirationalTalk#LivingWithIllness#RareDiseaseAwareness#SharingIsCaring#MedicalSupport#BBCReporter#HeartDisease#PodcastInterview#HealthTalk#Empowerment#Wellbeing#HealthPodcast#Harryhill#Aid's#HIVCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.com

Plotting the location of every defibrillator on Google Maps could help save lives - according to a Fine Gael senator. Manus Boyle is calling on the HSE to work with the tech company to allow people to search for their nearest A-E-D on its app. Between 2012 and 2023, there were 304 cases of defibrillation by members of the public, with an almost 30 per cent survival rate. Senator Boyle says most people don't know where their nearest defib is. For more on this, Alan Morrissey was joined by Carol Murphy, a first aid instructor who's volunteered with Cooraclare GAA club, previously aiming to make training available to clubs throughout West Clare and Tracy Murray, treasurer of Kilmurry Ibrickane Defibrillator Community Group.

Remembering all the different energy setting needed for synchronized cardioversion and defibrillation used to be confusing for a lot of people.Defibrillators can be broken down into three basic categories:1. Automated External Defibrillator (AED);2. Biphasic defibrillators; and3. Monophasic defibrillators.Use of an AED to rapidly deliver a shock.Advantages & use of Biphasic defibrillators.For monophasic defibrillators, use 360J to defibrillate V-Fib or pulseless V-Tach.AEDs must not be used on patients with a pulse. Cardioversion of patients in unstable SVT or V-Tach with a pulse using biphasic vs monophasic monitor/defibrillators.Team safety when performing synchronized cardioversion.Energy needed to cardiovert unstable patients with a narrow vs wide complex tachycardia.Good luck with your ACLS class!Links: Buy Me a Coffee at https://buymeacoffee.com/paultaylor Practice ECG rhythms at Dialed Medics - https://dialedmedics.com/Free Prescription Discount Card - Download your free drug discount card to save money on prescription medications for you and your pets: https://safemeds.vipPass ACLS Web Site - Episode archives & other ACLS-related podcasts: https://passacls.com@Pass-ACLS-Podcast on LinkedIn
Performing good CPR and delivering a shock as soon as possible to a patient in Ventricular Fibrillation or pulseless V-Tach are the two most critical interventions that have been shown to increase survival from sudden cardiac arrest.Studies have demonstrated significantly better out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival outcomes in communities with robust public CPR training and public access/first responder AEDs.The general use of AED including: indications for use; attaching the AED pads; following verbal prompts; and safely administering a shock.Following the Adult Cardiac Arrest algorithm while using an AED.Contraindications to AED use.General safety considerations to remember.Good luck with your ACLS class!Links: Buy Me a Coffee at https://buymeacoffee.com/paultaylor Practice ECG rhythms at Dialed Medics - https://dialedmedics.com/Free Prescription Discount Card - Download your free drug discount card to save money on prescription medications for you and your pets: https://safemeds.vipPass ACLS Web Site - Episode archives & other ACLS-related podcasts: https://passacls.com@Pass-ACLS-Podcast on LinkedIn
What exactly is a defibrillator? Why is the analogy of jump starting a car incorrect? What's happening in the heart when a shock is delivered? What is the AED and how do you spot one in public? What happens when you activate an AED? Who invented it? ... we explain like I'm five Thank you to the r/explainlikeimfive community and in particular the following users whose questions and comments formed the basis of this discussion: yllibjkrauss, only_sometimes_haiku,letsdothisepic, marmorset, smileylinzi and count2zero To the community that has supported us so far, thanks for all your feedback and comments.

A new epinephrine nasal spray dosage has been approved for pediatrics; FDA agree to review Semaglutide for weight management; A wearable defibrillator is cleared to prevent sudden cardiac arrest; a low dose formulation of chlorthalidone is approved to treat hypertension; and Selarsdi is now interchangeable with Stelara.
This special electrophysiology-themed issue of JACC, summarized by Dr. Valentin Fuster, dives into cutting-edge research on atrial fibrillation, pulsed field ablation, sudden cardiac arrest in athletes, and preventive strategies in congenital heart disease. From new therapies like finerenone to breakthrough mapping techniques, this episode captures the evolving sophistication and promise of arrhythmia management in modern cardiology.

The Elective Rotation: A Critical Care Hospital Pharmacy Podcast
Show notes at pharmacyjoe.com/episode1005. In this episode, I'll discuss whether a pacemaker or implanted cardiac defibrillator (ICD) protects from medication-induced torsades. The post 1005: Does a pacemaker or implanted cardiac defibrillator suggest a higher or lower risk of medication-induced torsades? appeared first on Pharmacy Joe.
Defibrillators are not self-operated. Neither can the spiritually dead make themselves alive to Christ. Today, Barry Cooper helps us consider our need for someone else to apply the paddles to cause our spiritual hearts to beat.
