What can businesses do before employees experience cardiac arrest in the workplace? After cardiac arrest, the first witness How to carry out first aid?
A few days ago, the “Healthy China” perspective–Corporate Health, co-sponsored by Hangzhou Normal University and the Provincial Preventive Medicine Association The Promotion Summit Forum and the Seminar on the Construction of Healthy Enterprises and Workplace Emergency Rescue System outside the hospital were held in Hangzhou. The meeting not only launched the activity of “Caring for Life and Saving Your Side”, but also released the “Expert Consensus on Enterprises’ Response to Cardiac Arrest in the Workplace”. Experts, scholars and enterprises from all over the country focused on occupational health protection, healthy enterprise construction, and enterprise employee health. etc., were discussed in depth.
Rapid defibrillation dramatically improves survival in cardiac arrest
“Nowadays, the incidence of chronic diseases is high, and the risk of cardiac arrest in the workplace continues to increase. On the other hand, enterprises pay little attention, the deployment of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) is insufficient, and employees’ awareness is not strong. , the ability to cope with cardiac arrest is weak, so it is of great significance to release the ‘expert consensus on corporate response to cardiac arrest in the workplace’.” Yang Lei, vice president of the Provincial Preventive Medicine Association and chairman of the Enterprise Health Promotion Committee, said that the consensus released this time. Ten recommendations were made.
For example, enterprises can organize employees to participate in CPR training and recurrent training carried out by qualified units, and build a team of staff ambulance teachers; refer to “Public Places”. The Automatic External Defibrillator Configuration Guide (Trial)” arranges AEDs reasonably in the workplace, and sets up AED emergency use telephones to ensure that “first witnesses” can obtain AEDs and rush to the patient within 3-5 minutes; Configure AEDs on commuter cars, patrol cars, or transport AEDs by drones to make AEDs in the workplace flow.
In addition, enterprises can also input the AED layout location into the electronic plan map of the workplace, and generate mobile phone software or applet, which is convenient for employees or visitors. Find AEDs in your workplace from your phone. Ensure that “first-witnesses” perform high-quality CPR and rapid AED defibrillation until the arrival of health care professionals.
“my country is a country with a large population and a large labor force. The occupational population accounts for more than half of the total population. Cardiac arrest is the most common sudden cardiac death. The direct cause of the emergency, the ‘golden time’ for first aid is only 4-6 minutes. If CPR can be implemented within 1 minute, and the automatic external defibrillator (AED) can be quickly defibrillated within 3-5 minutes, it can make the cardiac arrest patient suffer. The survival rate reaches 50%-70%.” Mao Qun’an, director of the Planning Development and Information Technology Department of the National Health and Medical Commission, mentioned that currently 70%-80% of cardiac arrests occur outside the hospital, and emergency professionals are usually unable to time” to the scene. Especially in the workplace, it is necessary for enterprises to carry out on-site rescue in a timely manner.
Ordinary people do not need relevant documents to use AED

Sudden cardiac arrest, the best result is “rescue by your side”. Hangzhou is a warm city. Since January 1, 2021, the first AED local legislation in the country, “Hangzhou Municipal Administrative Measures for Automatic External Defibrillators in Public Places” has been officially implemented. The number of AEDs in public places in Hangzhou is known to AEDs. The rate, usage rate and success rate of pre-hospital CPR have steadily increased, and more than 3,900 AEDs have been deployed in Hangzhou.
“We recommend that AEDs are available in places with the highest concentration of people in the workplace.” But Yang Lei mentioned that at present, every 100,000 people in Hangzhou The number of AEDs deployed by people is less than 5. Compared with 700 AEDs per 100,000 people in developed countries, there is still a long way to go. It is necessary to continuously guide enterprises to improve their awareness in this regard.
In the interview, the reporter also found that some citizens have concerns that “even if they get an AED, they don’t dare to use it”. In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Emergency Center explained that ordinary people do not need relevant documents when using AEDs, and can operate according to the voice prompts, but the personnel who have received professional first aid skills training have a higher success rate of rescue.
“Healthy China Action (2019-2030)” requires that by 2022 and 2030, 1% of the personnel have obtained first aid training certificates respectively and 3%; individual workers need to learn to master on-site first aid knowledge and emergency response methods for acute hazards, and be able to do correct self-rescue and mutual rescue.
The Municipal Emergency Center reminds that if enterprises or individuals want to learn CPR, AED defibrillation, etc., they can pay attention to “Hangzhou Emergency Center, Zhejiang Province” WeChat official account, enter the micro website, click on the training registration interface, and select “Hangzhou Emergency Center Junior Ambulance Certificate Course” to register.
