What are automated external defibrillators?
Automated external defibrillators are defined as portable, life-saving devices which analyze the rhythm of the heart and treat people who experience sudden cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest is a medical ailment wherein the heart stops beating. This device detects the problem and treats the same by delivering an electric shock to restore normal heart rhythm. These devices are of small size and thus, are easy to use.
COVID-19 Impact
The Covid-19 outbreak impacted the growth of automated external defibrillators positively. With the rapid surge in covid-19 cases, healthcare facilities across geographies were focusing on treating patients infected with the coronavirus. This resulted in an increased need for automated defibrillators to ensure patients suffering from cardiac arrest could be provided with the best chances of survival.
