Description

  The present invention relates to an emergency response vending machine equipped with an automatic external defibrillator for resuscitation for cardiac arrest disease outside a hospital.

  Conventionally, the number of cardiac arrests outside the hospital is estimated to be 20,000 to 30,000 per year, and 3 to 4 times the number of deaths due to traffic accidents have been killed by sudden cardiac death. The main cause of these sudden cardiac deaths is ventricular fibrillation that causes arrhythmias.

  The most effective method for normalizing ventricular fibrillation is cardioversion that restores the discrete movement of the myocardium in a chaotic state to a constant, ordered rhythm by a strong electric shock. A fibrillator was developed. This device has been recognized as a medical device that can be used by ordinary citizens since July 2004, and has been placed in public facilities, hospitals, etc., but is not widely used in terms of installation costs and management costs.

  After cardiac arrest due to myocardial fibrillation, the chance of resuscitation by defibrillation is 60% within 3 minutes, but it is halved to 30% at 6 minutes, and 7-10% every minute. It is known that the resuscitation rate decreases. For this reason, early cardioversion is essential for lifesaving, and in order to respond to cardiac arrest accidents that occur anywhere, the location of an automatic external defibrillator that can be used at any time is set. It was required to spread widely.

  In addition, it was necessary for the general public to widely recognize the location of these automatic external defibrillators.

On the other hand, vending machines centering on beverages are widespread in every location where ordinary citizens pass on a daily basis and are widely used in ordinary citizens' lives, and most of them are available for 24 hours. Conventionally, disaster countermeasures have been considered that can supply beverages and foods in the event of an emergency.
In addition, the communication function corresponding to the occurrence of an emergency situation is being steadily installed.

  Patent Document 1 can provide a product to a disaster victim by securing a minimum of yesterday's sale of the product using a manual power generator even when a commercial power supply blackout is prolonged, such as a large-scale disaster. It is a device.
