Was a long week after so long as this week booked out on Sat. which is today. due to the need for me to retake my IPPT as i didnt achieve commando silver last time due to my standing board jump. Well didnt really sleep well last nite as i was sleeping on the floor and woke up nearly every hour. so didnt really had a full rest. but never the less i still manage to perform today during the test. gotta to say made an achievement as all my static stations improved esp for my standing board jump. from 232cm. i improved to 238cm. WOOT!
HOWEVER, my 2.4km run deproved like ard 40secs. haha. guess i have not been running for a long time. thus getting this result. haha. but all that said. i finally manage to achieve commando silver. AND this means no extra training for me. MEANS no burning away of my weekends. WOOT!
haha. that aside
Had 2 tests this week. anatomy and physiology test. and Automated External Defibillator (AED). Anatomy and physiology test was a killer for me as i could not remember all the things in the textbook. but never the less i manage to pass. haha. and passed the AED test too and manage to get another certificate for the use of AED. Those who donno wad is an AED. shall explain abit at the bottom along with a picture of how it looks like.
How an AED looks like
What is an AED?
ANS: An automated external defibrillator or AED is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias (abnormal electrical activity in the heart. The heart beat may be too fast or too slow, and may be regular or irregular) of ventricular fibrillation (a condition in which there is uncoordinated contraction of the cardiac muscle of the ventricles in the heart, making them tremble rather than contract properly) and ventricular tachycardia(fast heart rhythm that originates in one of the ventricles of the heart) in a patient,and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm.
To sum everything up and to put things simple as it may seem too complex. The AED is used when a heart is pumping too fast or too slow to have blood circulations to the whole body, thus, electric current is sent to the heart to make it stop and is then restarted using CPR to help the patient or casulty to get back his/her normal heart beat so that blood can again be pumped to the whole body. hope this is simple enough. haha.
well. thats about all for this week. next week will have another 2 more tests on assessing a patient/casulty. However, im looking forward to next week as i will have an early book out next week. WOOT!
alright. shall stop here. time for me to rest my body...
