All thanks to the Civil Protection Sewer since last October 7, 2016 is accredited by the Ministry of Health to provide training and accredit the students who participate in our courses.

From Civil Protection Sewer for all the events where their presence is requested, an external semi-automatic defibrillator is provided for use in case of need, especially in areas where ambulances do not have direct access to the victim.
Also in important events, where there is a great influx of public, from this grouping through the specific emergency plans for each event, it is established, among other essential points, that the event is a cardioprotected space, trying in this way to have a Quickly and efficiently these devices if necessary;
For example in floats, concerts, horse rides, fireworks, etc.
Currently in the municipality of Alcantarilla has five defibrillators in the Municipal Pavilions (Fausto Vicent, Magritas, Association Friends Futsal Room, José Antonio Abellán and Andrés Francés) and the one located in the Covered Municipal Swimming Pool.
This course is explaining the techniques to apply them, as well as the steps that must be taken, following a specific order, for its correct application, therefore it is a course for the most part of the content of practices.
From Civil Protection has been facilitated three adult and two pediatric dolls with which these practices are performed, as well as a practical defibrillator.
Decree 349/2007, of 9 November, regulates the use of external semi-automatic defibrillators by non-medical personnel in the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia, which would later suffer a series of modifications included in Decree n. 80/2011, of 20 May.
Note that this Decree does not obligate the use of these defibrillators but recommends its use for the following reasons that are set out below.
This decree and its subsequent modification went ahead after different studies of the scientific community where it was verified that the sudden death of cardiac origin (cardiac stops extrahospitalarias) represent a problem of first magnitude for the public health.
It is estimated that more than 26,000 sudden cardiac deaths occur each year, with most of them occurring with the episodic appearance of malignant ventricular arrhythmia, whose only effective treatment is the immediate onset and as soon as possible of electrical defibrillation .
The probability of survival decreases up to 10% for each minute elapsed without the application of defibrillation, and after ten minutes these possibilities reach zero.
The key to success in treating sudden death is early defibrillation, before the first four minutes.
Defibrillation is an electrical treatment that, applied in the first minutes, is the most effective measure to restore spontaneous circulation in cases of sudden death.
This technique consists of connecting the patient to a device (Semiautomatic Defibrillator), able to analyze the victim's heart rhythm and to request the operator to discharge an electric shock if indicated.
The efficacy is to install these devices in crowded places, where cardiac arrests can potentially occur, so that the time elapsed until the device and authorized personnel reach the victim is less than if the traditional one is activated System of Outpatient Medical Emergencies (60% of cardiorespiratory arrest occur in the out-of-hospital setting).
As for BASIC CARDIOPULMONARY REJECTION is an emergency procedure to save lives that is used when a person has stopped breathing and the heart has stopped barking.
This can happen after an electric shock, a heart attack, drowning or any other circumstance that causes the arrest of the cardiac activity.
It has been shown that when CPR is implemented by persons skilled in the art and started within a few minutes after cardiac arrest, these procedures can be effective in saving human lives.
