Puchkova Nikolai Plavunov told RG correspondent: “The new defibrillators are not only devices that produce an electric shock of a certain energy, but also complete monitors equipped with functions for dynamic evaluation of heart rate, pulse oximetry and capnometry, which measure ” “The concentration of carbon dioxide in the patient’s exhaled air. In short, this is one of the most reliable ways to monitor the patient’s condition, allowing you to quickly determine the tactics of providing medical care and saving the person.”
