Benjamin Franklin once said…. “Time is Money; “ In the EMS world…. “Time is Life”
When a person heart has a heart attack he goes through three stages:
Stage 1; Between one to three minutes if he receives a shock to the heart from a defibrillator, he will return to consciousness and even to a full recovery, possibly with no damage at all.
Stage 2; Between three to five minutes if he receives a shock to the heart, his survival chances decrease and he is likely to have permanent damage.
Stage 3; Between five to seven minutes his survival chances are very low – but it is not too late. A first responder with a defibrillator can help and even save his life, but the chances are not high. The chances of survival are much higher with a Paramedic, for a Paramedic is trained to administer medications available in the Advanced Lifesaving bag….which Paramedics have.
