Loss of consciousness due to the heart suddenly stops working

Dr. Thanin Vejchapinan, Deputy Director General of the Department of Medical Services, revealed that an acute heart attack means that the symptoms of heart disease occur suddenly, which can be caused by many reasons. Usually found in people with acute myocardial infarction. and other causes such as abnormal heart valves, severe narrowing or leakage. Until symptoms of heart failure or irregular heartbeat If the condition is severe, it leads to a sudden stop of working (Heart Arrest) where the heart is unable to squeeze and pump blood to the various members. This causes a lack of blood supply and lack of oxygen to the brain, causing unconsciousness and death. Among the people who are at risk of a serious heart attack are those with chronic diseases. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, chronic smokers People with obstructive airways during sleep People who are overweight or obese Athletes with underlying heart disease and exercise pregnant and patients with a family history of death at a young age from unknown causes.

Dr. Anek Kanoksin, Director of the Institute of Chest Diseases, Department of Medical Services, said that if a person is found unconscious and unconscious it is because the heart suddenly stops working. No convulsive response Gasping or stopping breathing Can provide basic help as follows: 1. Ask for help from those around you. 2. Call for help at number 1669. 3. Perform basic life support by performing cardiac massage (CPR). 5. If you have an automated electrical defibrillator (AED), follow the device’s instructions. Cardiac compression is done to improve blood flow. Resuscitation helps to add oxygen to the patient’s body. If the patient still has a serious cardiac arrhythmia Therefore it is important that an automatic heart defibrillator is used. Working principle of an automatic heart defibrillator It is the discharge of an electric current that shocks the patient’s heart until it returns to a normal rhythm again. In the group of patients who are unconscious or unconscious and have a heart attack. Basic life support with cardiac massage alone has a survival rate of less than 10 percent, but if an automated cardiac defibrillator is used in combination. It will increase the survival rate about 10 times.
