Yu tink se wi fɔ lan mɔ bɔt di AED (Automated External Defibrillator) mashin we kin kam ɛp wi if di at at pwɛl wantɛm wantɛm?

Yu dɔn ɛva si pɔsin fɔdɔm wantɛm wantɛm na grɔn fɔ no rizin? Sɔntɛm dɛn de ol dɛn chɛst. Da tɛm de, wi kin tink se, ‘O mi Gɔd, dis na at atak?’ Bɔt sɔntɛnde, i kin bi sɔntin we siriɔs pas at atak, we na we di at kin stɔp fɔ bit wantɛm wantɛm. Bɔt nɔ wɔri, bikɔs tide wi go tɔk bɔt wan smɔl, bɔt rili pawaful mashin we go ɛp fɔ sev layf insay tɛm lɛk dis. Dɛn kɔl am AED.

Wetin na AED (Automated External Defibrillator)?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, AED na abbrevieshɔn fɔ di Inglish wɔd dɛn ‘Automated External Defibrillator’ . insay Sinhala, i min ‘otomatik ekstenal kadyak difibrilator’. Bot wen wi de tok, e izi fo se AED, no bi so? Dis na rili smɔl tin we pɔsin kin kɛr go fɔ mɛn pipul dɛn . Dɛn kin yuz am fɔ ɛp pɔsin if in at stɔp fɔ bit wantɛm wantɛm (Sudden Cardiac Arrest) , dat na if in at stɔp fɔ wok.

Naw yu go de tink se, ‘Wetin yu min se di at de stɔp? Aw dat kin apin?’ Wi at tan lɛk smɔl pawa plant. Speshal sɛl dɛn we de insay de kin sɛn smɔl smɔl ilɛktrik signal dɛn. na dεn ilektrikal signal dεm ya de mek di at bit lεk ritm, dat min se i de bit. Dis bit na in de mek blɔd flɔ ɔlsay na di bɔdi. Bɔt sɔntɛnde, prɔblɛm ɔ glitch kin de na di ilɛktrik wok we de na di at. Dɔn di at nɔ kin bit ɛn i kin stɔp wantɛm wantɛm. Na dat wi de kɔl `(Sudden Cardiac Arrest)`. Dis difrɛn smɔl frɔm we pɔsin gɛt at atak . We pɔsin gɛt at atak, di men tin we kin apin na we wan blɔd vesel we de gi blɔd to di at kin blok, bɔt di at nɔ kin stɔp fɔs. כltu, `(Sudden Cardiac Arrest)` na we di at stכp fכ bit kכmplit wan bikoz fכ prכblεm na di at in ilektrikal sistεm. Yu ɔndastand?

Wetin rili AED de du?

Okay, so naw wi no se dɛn kin yuz AED fɔ trit pɔsin we dɔn gɛt kadyak arest. Bɔt aw dis mashin de du am? Imajin, sɔmbɔdi fɔdɔm wantɛm wantɛm, i nɔ no natin, ɛn i lɛf smɔl fɔ lɛ i nɔ de blo. Dɔn wi kin tek wan AED ɛn tay di tu pad dɛn na di pɔsin in chɛst. Dis mashin rili gɛt sɛns. Na dat mek dɛn kɔl am ‘ ɔtomatik’ . Afta yu dɔn tay di pad dɛn, di AED kin chɛk di pɔsin in at in ilɛktrik wok ɔtomɛtik wan .

Afta dɛn dɔn chɛk di pɔsin, di AED kin disayd if dɛn fɔ gi dɛn ilɛktrik shɔk , we na smɔl ilɛktrik kɔrɛnt. Nɔto ɔl pɔrsin wae gɛt kadyak arɛst nid fɔ shɔk. Sɔm at ritm dɛn kin kɔrɛkt wit shɔk, ɛn sɔm nɔ kin kɔrɛkt. Di AED de no am kɔrɛkt wan. If yu nid fɔ shɔk, di mashin go tɛl yu, bɔku tɛm na bay we i de flash layt ɛn gi yu vɔys.I se, "Rɛdi fɔ deliv shɔk, step away frɔm pasɛnt." Dɔn yu prɛs wan bɔtin ɛn gi di shɔk. Wetin dis ilɛktrik shɔk de du na fɔ ‘riset’ di ilɛktrik aktiviti we nɔ de chenj na di at ɛn tray fɔ mek i kam bak to di nɔmal ritm . I tan lɛk se yu de stat kɔmpyuta bak we dɛn dɔn mɛs. Afta dis, di at kin bigin fɔ bit fayn fayn wan bak. Yu nɔ tink se i wɔndaful aw dis smɔl mashin de wok?

Usay dis AED mashin de? Wi go ebul fɔ yuz am?

Naw yu go de tink se, ‘Yu tink se dis kayn valyu mashin de ɔlsay? Wi go ebul fɔ fɛn am if wi nid am?’ Yɛs, di gud nyus na dat tide, lɛk bɔku kɔntri dɛn na di wɔl, Sri Lanka gɛt dɛn AED mashin dɛn ya bak na sɔm pɔblik ples dɛn . Fɔ ɛgzampul:

• Na big big aypɔt dɛn
• Na big big relwe steshɔn dɛn
• Na spɔt stediɔm/fasiliti dɛn
• Insay sɔm big skul dɛn
• Na big big shopin mal dɛn
• Insay sɔm big big ɔfis kɔmpleks dɛn
• Yu kin si dɛn tin ya bak na sɔm ɔtel dɛn .

Dɛn kin put dɛn tin ya na grɔn bɔks, put dɛn na say we pɔsin kin si klia wan, ɛn dɛn kin mak dɛn ‘AED’ wit big lɛta dɛn.

Di tin we impɔtant pas ɔl na dat, dɛn mek dɛn AED ya fɔ mek i izi fɔ ivin lay lay pɔsin we nɔ gɛt mɛrɛsin trenin fɔ yuz we i gɛt ɛnitin fɔ du wit am. Dat min se yu nɔ nid fɔ bi dɔktɔ fɔ yuz dɛn. We yu opin di mashin, i go gi yu stɛp-by-stɛp instrɔkshɔn , wit vɔys prɔmpt ɛn sɔntɛnde na di skrin dayagram, lɛk ‘du dis naw’ ɛn ‘du dat nɛks’. So natin nɔ de fɔ fred. Di kwik we pɔsin we in at dɔn gɛt ɛp, na di mɔ i go gɛt chans fɔ sev in layf. Na dat mek dɛn kin put dɛn na pɔblik ples, so yu kin du sɔntin kwik kwik wan we yu nɔ wet fɔ mek dɔktɔ ɛp yu.

Imajin dis. Yu de ple kriket wit yu padi dem. Wantɛm wantɛm, wan pan yu tim mɛmba dɛn fɔdɔm na grɔn ɛn nɔ tɔk natin. We yu luk am, i nɔ no natin ɛn i nɔ de blo. Yu no se AED de na di spɔt klab ɔfis. So yu kin gɛt am kwik kwik wan ɛn ɛp da padi de. Di tin we yu disayd fɔ du da tɛm de go sev yu layf.

Wetin ɔda tin wi nid fɔ no bɔt dis AED? Yu tink se dɛn nid fɔ tren?

Yu nɔ nid bɔku tin fɔ no bɔt mɛrɛsin fɔ yuz AED, ɛn pan ɔl we di mashin insɛf de gi instrɔkshɔn, i stil fayn fɔ gɛt trenin bɔt aw fɔ yuz am. Bikɔs na nɔmal tin fɔ mek wi fred we ɛnitin apin we nɔ izi fɔ wi. If wi dɔn gɛt trenin bifo tɛm, wi kin yuz am wit kɔnfidɛns ɛn nɔ fred.

Dɛn kayn trenin program dɛn de naw na Sri Lanka. Na sɔm ɔspitul dɛn, ambulans savis dɛn, ɔ sɔm ɔganayzeshɔn dɛn we nɔto gɔvmɛnt de ɔganayz dɛn tin ya. Ɛnibɔdi we pas 12-13 ia, dat na, yɔŋ pikin dɛn we de go skul, yunivasiti studɛnt dɛn, pipul dɛn we de wok, ɛnibɔdi kin gɛt dis trenin. Imajin, if sɔntin lɛk dis apin to pɔsin na yu skul ɔ na yu wokples, aw i go fayn fɔ mek yu ebul fɔ ɛp?

Wan ɔda tin na dat, bɔku tɛm, dɛn AED trenin klas ya kin tich bak CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) , we na di we fɔ ɛp fɔ sev di layf fɔ pɔsin we dɔn stɔp fɔ blo bay we dɛn de prɛs in chɛst atifishal wan (chɛst kɔmpreshɔn) ɛn gi in mɔt-to-mɔt risuscitation. biכs, CPR kin mεnten di כksijεn saplai to di bren εn כda imכtant כgan dεm to sכm mak te dεn gi shכk to pכsin we dεn gεt `(Sudden Cardiac Arrest)` wit AED, כ ivin we dεn nכ nid shכk. So, AED ɛn CPR na tu we dɛn we de sev layf we kin go togɛda.

Mɛmba se, if yu gɛt ɛnitin fɔ du wit am, if yu tray smɔl, if yu tren smɔl, yu go ebul fɔ sev ɔda pɔsin in layf. So intres pan dis. If i pɔsibul, gɛt AED ɛn CPR trenin. Dat no kin ɛp nɔto yu nɔmɔ, bɔt i kin ɛp bak di wan dɛn we yu lɛk, sɔmde, sɔmsay.

So, wetin na di tin dɛn we wi fɔ mɛmba frɔm dis stori? (Mɛsej we dɛn kin tek go na os)

Okay, wi don tok plenti abaut AED tide, no bi so? Lɛ wi tɔk bak bɔt dɛn impɔtant pɔynt dɛn ya:

• AED (Automated External Defibrillator) na pɔtabl mɛrɛsin we de ɛp fɔ sev pɔsin in layf we in at dɔn stɔp wantɛm wantɛm.
• Dis kin min fɔ tɛst di at in ilɛktrik aktiviti ɛn if nid de, dɛn fɔ gi ilɛktrik shɔk fɔ tray fɔ mek di at wok nɔmal wan bak.
• AED mashin dɛn de na bɔku say dɛn we pipul dɛn kin gɛda, ɛn dɛn mek dɛn fɔ mek i izi fɔ yuz ivin fɔ pɔsin we nɔ gɛt trenin fɔ mɛn pipul dɛn. Di mashin insɛf de gi yu instrɔkshɔn dɛn.
• I rili impɔtant fɔ gɛt trenin fɔ yuz AED. Dɛn trenin ya kin tich bak CPR. Dɛn tu tin ya rili impɔtant fɔ sev pipul dɛn layf.
