Ngaba kufuneka sifunde okungakumbi ngomatshini we-AED (Automated External Defibrillator) oza kusinceda xa intliziyo ibambekile ngequbuliso?

Ngaba wakha wambona umntu ewa phantsi ngequbuliso ngaphandle kwesizathu esicacileyo? Mhlawumbi ebambe isifuba sakhe. Ngelo xesha, sinokucinga, 'Owu Thixo wam, ngaba esi sisifo sentliziyo?' Kodwa ngamanye amaxesha sinokuba yinto enzulu ngaphezu kwesifo sentliziyo, apho intliziyo iyeka ukubetha ngequbuliso. Kodwa ungakhathazeki, kuba namhlanje siza kuthetha ngomatshini omncinci, kodwa onamandla kakhulu onokunceda ukusindisa ubomi ngamaxesha anje. Ubizwa ngokuba yi-AED.

Yintoni i-AED (i-Automated External Defibrillator)?

Ngamafutshane, i-AED sisifinyezo samagama esiNgesi athi 'Automated External Defibrillator' . NgesiSinhala, ithetha 'i-automatic external cardiac defibrillator'. Kodwa xa sithetha, kulula ukuthi i-AED, akunjalo? Esi sisixhobo sezonyango esincinci kakhulu, esiphathwayo. Sisetyenziselwa ukunceda umntu ukuba intliziyo yakhe iyeka ukubetha ngequbuliso (Sudden Cardiac Arrest) , oko kukuthi, ukuba intliziyo iyeka ukusebenza.

Ngoku usenokuba ucinga, 'Uthetha ukuthini xa intliziyo ima? Kwenzeka njani oko?' Intliziyo yethu ifana nesityalo samandla esincinci. Iiseli ezikhethekileyo kuyo zithumela imiqondiso emincinci yombane. Ezi miqondiso zombane zezona zenza intliziyo ibethe njengesigqi, oko kukuthi, iyabetha. Olu betho lubangela ukuba igazi lihambe emzimbeni wonke. Nangona kunjalo, ngamanye amaxesha kukho ingxaki okanye ingxaki kumsebenzi wombane wentliziyo. Emva koko ukubetha kwentliziyo kuyaguquguquka kwaye kungayeka ngequbuliso. Yiloo nto siyibiza ngokuba yi-'(Sudden Cardiac Arrest)'. Oku kwahlukile kancinci kuhlaselo lwentliziyo . Kwihlaselo lwentliziyo, into ephambili eyenzekayo kukuba umthambo wegazi ohambisa igazi entliziyweni uvalekile, kodwa intliziyo ayimi ekuqaleni. Nangona kunjalo, '(Sudden Cardiac Arrest)' kuxa intliziyo iyeka ukubetha ngokupheleleyo ngenxa yengxaki kwinkqubo yombane yentliziyo. Uyaqonda?

Yintoni kanye kanye eyenziwa yi-AED?

Kulungile, ngoku siyazi ukuba i-AED isetyenziselwa ukunyanga umntu oye wabanjwa yintliziyo. Kodwa lo matshini ukwenza njani oku? Khawuthelekelele, umntu uyawa ngequbuliso, alahlekelwe yingqondo, aze aphantse angaphefumli. Emva koko sithatha i-AED size sincamathisele ii-pads ezimbini esifubeni somntu. Lo matshini ukrelekrele kakhulu. Yiyo loo nto ibizwa ngokuba ' yi-automated' . Emva kokuba uncamathisele ii-pads, i-AED ijonga ngokuzenzekelayo umsebenzi wombane wentliziyo yomntu.

Emva kokuvavanya umntu, i-AED igqiba kwelokuba imnike na umbane otshotshozayo , umbane omncinci. Ayinguye wonke umntu onesifo sentliziyo odinga ukuhlaselwa yintliziyo. Ezinye izingqisho zentliziyo zinokulungiswa ngokuhlaselwa yintliziyo, kwaye ezinye azikwazi. I-AED iyakuqonda ngokuchanekileyo. Ukuba kufuneka ukuhlaselwa yintliziyo, umatshini uya kukuxelela, ngesiqhelo ngokukhanyisa isibane kunye nokuthetha ngelizwi.Ithi, "Ukulungele ukukhupha umothuko, suka kwisigulana." Emva koko ucofa iqhosha uze ukhuphe umothuko. Okwenziwa yile meko yombane 'kukubuyisela' umsebenzi wombane ongaqhelekanga entliziyweni uze uzame ukuyibuyisela kwisigqi esiqhelekileyo . Kufana nokuqalisa kwakhona ikhompyutha eyonakeleyo. Emva koku, intliziyo inokuqala ukubetha kakuhle kwakhona. Ayimangalisi na indlela esebenza ngayo le matshini incinci?

Iphi le matshini ye-AED? Singayisebenzisa?

Ngoku usenokuba ucinga, 'Ngaba umatshini oxabisekileyo kangaka ufumaneka kuyo yonke indawo? Ngaba singawufumana ukuba siyawufuna?' Ewe, iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba namhlanje, njengamanye amazwe amaninzi ehlabathini, iSri Lanka ikwanazo ezi matshini ze-AED kwezinye iindawo zikawonke-wonke . Umzekelo:

• Kwizikhululo zeenqwelo-moya ezinkulu
• Kwizikhululo zikaloliwe ezinkulu
• Kwizitediyamu zemidlalo/izibonelelo
• Kwezinye izikolo ezinkulu
• Kwiivenkile ezinkulu zokuthenga
• Kwezinye izakhiwo ezinkulu zeofisi
• Ezi zinokubonwa nakwezinye iihotele .

Ezi zihlala zifakwa ebhokisini eluhlaza, zibekwe kwindawo ebonakala ngokucacileyo, zize zibhalwe 'AED' ngoonobumba abakhulu.

Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukuba ezi AED zenzelwe ukuba kube lula nakubantu abaqhelekileyo abangenalo uqeqesho lwezonyango ukuzisebenzisa xa kukho imeko engxamisekileyo. Oko kuthetha ukuba akufuneki ube ngugqirha ukuze uzisebenzise. Xa uvula umatshini, uza kukunika imiyalelo yenyathelo ngenyathelo , kunye nemiyalelo yelizwi kwaye ngamanye amaxesha imizobo esesikrinini, efana nokuthi 'yenza oku ngoku' kunye 'yenza oko okulandelayo'. Ngoko ke akukho nto yokoyika. Okukhona umntu onentliziyo ebambezeleka efumana uncedo ngokukhawuleza, kokukhona amathuba akhe okusindisa ubomi bakhe aphezulu. Yiyo loo nto bebekwa kwiindawo zikawonke-wonke, ukuze ukwazi ukwenza ngokukhawuleza ngaphandle kokulinda ukuba kufike uncedo lwezonyango.

Khawuthelekelele oku. Udlala ikhilikithi nabahlobo bakho. Ngequbuliso, elinye lamalungu eqela lakho liwela phantsi lingatshongo nto. Xa umjonga, akasakwazi nto kwaye akaphefumli. Uyazi ukuba kukho i-AED kwiofisi yeklabhu yezemidlalo. Ngoko ungayifumana ngokukhawuleza kwaye uncede loo mhlobo. Isigqibo osenzayo ngelo xesha sinokusindisa ubomi.

Yintoni enye ekufuneka siyazi ngale AED? Ngaba uqeqesho luyafuneka?

Akufuneki ube nolwazi oluninzi lwezonyango ukuze usebenzise i-AED, kwaye nangona umatshini ngokwawo unika imiyalelo, kusafanelekile ukufumana uqeqesho malunga nendlela yokuyisebenzisa. Kuba kuqhelekile ukuba soyike xa kukho imeko engxamisekileyo. Ukuba sifumene uqeqesho kwangaphambili, singalusebenzisa ngokuzithemba nangaphandle koloyiko.

Iinkqubo zoqeqesho ezinjalo ngoku ziyafumaneka eSri Lanka. Ezi ziququzelelwa zizibhedlele ezithile, iinkonzo zee-ambulensi, okanye eminye imibutho engekho phantsi korhulumente. Nabani na oneminyaka engaphezu kwe-12-13 ubudala, oko kukuthi, abantwana abancinci abaya esikolweni, abafundi baseyunivesithi, abantu abasebenzayo, nabani na angalufumana olu qeqesho. Khawucinge nje, ukuba into efana nale yenzeke kumntu esikolweni sakho okanye emsebenzini wakho, kuya kuba kuhle kangakanani ukukwazi ukunceda?

Enye into kukuba uninzi lwexesha, ezi klasi zoqeqesho lwe-AED zikwafundisa i-CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) , eyindlela yokunceda ukusindisa ubomi bomntu oye wayeka ukuphefumla ngokucinezela isifuba ngokwenziwa (ukucinezelwa kwesifuba) kunye nokunika ukuvuselelwa komlomo nomlomo. Kuba, i-CPR inokugcina unikezelo lweoksijini engqondweni nakwezinye izitho ezibalulekileyo ukuya kwinqanaba elithile de kubekho umothuko kumntu oye waba ne-`(Sudden Cardiac Arrest)` ene-AED, okanye nokuba umothuko awufuneki. Ke ngoko, i-AED kunye ne-CPR ziindlela ezimbini zokusindisa ubomi ezihamba kunye.

Khumbula, xa kukho imeko engxamisekileyo, ngomzamo omncinci ovela kuwe, ngoqeqesho oluncinci oluvela kuwe, ungasindisa ubomi bomnye umntu. Ngoko ke yiba nomdla koku. Ukuba kunokwenzeka, fumana uqeqesho lwe-AED kunye ne-CPR. Olo lwazi alunakukunceda wena wedwa, kodwa lunokunceda nabantu obathandayo, ngenye imini, ndaweni ithile.

Ngoko ke, zeziphi izinto esifanele sizikhumbule kweli bali? (Umyalezo Wokubuyela Ekhaya)

Kulungile, sithethe kakhulu nge-AEDs namhlanje, akunjalo? Masiphinde sichaze la manqaku abalulekileyo:

• I-AED (i-Automated External Defibrillator) sisixhobo sezonyango esiphathwayo esinceda ekusindiseni ubomi bomntu oye wahlaselwa kukufa kwentliziyo ngequbuliso.
• Oku kuquka ukuvavanya ukusebenza kombane kwentliziyo, kwaye ukuba kuyimfuneko, ukwenza i-electroshock ukuzama ukwenza intliziyo isebenze ngokuqhelekileyo kwakhona.
• Oomatshini be-AED bayafumaneka kwiindawo ezininzi zikawonke-wonke, kwaye benzelwe ukuba kube lula ukuyisebenzisa nakubantu abaqhelekileyo abangenalo uqeqesho lwezonyango. Lo matshini ngokwawo ukunika imiyalelo.
• Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuqeqeshwa ekusebenziseni i-AED. Olu qeqesho lukwafundisa i-CPR. Zombini zibaluleke kakhulu ekusindiseni ubomi.
• Ungaze woyike ukusebenzisa i-AED. Isenzo sakho esikhawulezileyo sinokusindisa ubomi bomntu.

Ngoko ke, ndiyathemba ukuba ngoku uyaqonda kakuhle ii-AED. Yabelana ngolu lwazi nabanye. Kuba, akukho namnye kuthi owaziyo ukuba into efana nale iya kwenzeka nini kuye nabani na. Eyona nto ilungileyo onokuyenza kukulungiselela!
