Sudden cardiac arrest is the most common cause of dying in the developed world. Statistics say that every day four Slovenians experience cardiac arrest. This means 1600 people a year. Even more concern is the fact that only one of those to whom this will happen today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will remain alive and take it away without consequences. Only one in ten survives. But would you know or want to help with cardiac arrest? The data says that only one in three would do it. And this, given the fact that every minute missed at cardiac arrest means 10 percent less chance that the patient will survive. Although this would most likely help someone close to you, because as much as 70 percent of cardiac arrest occurs at home. Ignorance and fear are the main obstacles, this is also why black statistics. But anyone can help. Sometimes it is enough to recognize that something is wrong with a person, call 112 and the medical dispatcher can give us instructions on how to act further. It is therefore all the more important to know where defibrillators are located and to be educated about the fundamental resuscitation procedures and the use of AED.

Nenadni srčni zastoj je najpogostejši vzrok umiranja v razvitem svetu. Statistika pravi, da vsak dan štiri Slovenci doživijo srčni zastoj. To pomeni 1600 ljudi na leto. Še večjo skrb vzbuja podatek, da bo samo eden od tistih, ki se jim bo to zgodilo danes, jutri ali pojutrišnjem ostal živ in jo odnesel brez posledic. Preživi namreč komaj vsak deseti. Ampak bi znali ali hoteli pomagati ob srčnem zastoju? Podatki pravijo, da bi to storil le eden od treh. In to ob dejstvu, da vsaka zamujena minuta ob srčnem zastoju pomeni 10 odstotkov manj možnosti, da bo bolnik preživel. Pa čeprav bi s tem najverjetneje pomagali nekomu od bližnjih, saj se kar 70 odstotkov srčnih zastojev zgodi doma. Neznanje in strah sta glavni oviri, tudi zato črna statistika. Ampak vsak lahko pomaga. Včasih je dovolj že to, da prepoznamo, da je s človekom nekaj narobe, pokličemo 112 in nam zdravstveni dispečer lahko da navodila, kako ukrepati naprej. Zato je toliko bolj pomembno vedeti, kje se defibrilatorji nahajajo in se izobraziti o temeljnih postopkih oživljanja in uporabi AED.
Pomagaj prvi v torek, 11.3.2025, ob 18.00 uri v stavbi gasilskega doma Metlika (I. nadstropje). Vabljeni!
