Malaysia defibrillator market is anticipated to
witness a growth of steady CAGR during the forecast period. The pacemaker
market in Malaysia has witnessed a remarkable growth over the past few years,
owing to the adoption of technologically advanced defibrillator devices in the
nation. In Malaysia, the healthcare sector has seen an increase in the adoption
of technologically advanced defibrillator devices. These devices offer improved
capabilities and features compared to traditional defibrillators, enabling
medical professionals to deliver more efficient and effective treatment.
One of the most significant advancements in
defibrillator technology is the development of automated external
defibrillators (AEDs). AEDs are portable devices that are designed to be used
by non-medical personnel. They are simple to use and can be operated by anyone
with minimal training. AEDs have been shown to increase the survival rate of
cardiac arrest patients significantly.
In Malaysia, the adoption of AEDs has been on the rise
in recent years. The Malaysian government has been actively promoting the use
of AEDs in public places, such as airports, shopping malls, and sports venues.
Private organizations and individuals have also taken it upon themselves to
install AEDs in their establishments.
One such example is the St John Ambulance Malaysia,
which has recently launched the St John Save-a-Life app. The app is
designed to help bystanders locate the nearest AED and guide them on how to use
it in an emergency. The app also provides information on CPR and first aid, as
well as emergency contact numbers.
In addition to AEDs, there has also been an increase
in the adoption of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in Malaysia.
ICDs are small devices that are implanted under the skin of the chest and can
detect and treat abnormal heart rhythms. ICDs are typically used in patients
who are at high risk of sudden cardiac death due to underlying heart
conditions.
ICDs have been shown to be highly effective in
preventing sudden cardiac death in high-risk patients. In Malaysia, the
adoption of ICDs has been increasing in recent years, and more patients are
being referred for ICD implantation.
Growing Focus on Public-Access Defibrillators (PADs)
in Malaysia
In Malaysia, the growing focus on providing
public-access defibrillators has been gaining momentum in recent years. A
defibrillator is a device that delivers an electric shock to the heart to
restore its normal rhythm. In the event of a cardiac arrest, prompt
defibrillation is crucial for survival, and the availability of defibrillators
in public places can mean the difference between life and death.
The Malaysian government has been actively promoting
the use of public-access defibrillators in recent years. In 2017, the
Ministry of Health launched the National Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Program to increase awareness of CPR
and AED use, and to promote the installation of AEDs in public places.
In addition to government initiatives, there has been
a growing number of private organizations and individuals that have taken it
upon themselves to install AEDs in public places. These include shopping malls,
airports, hotels, and sports venues.
One such example is the Malaysia Airports Holdings
Berhad (MAHB), which has installed more than 200 AEDs at its airports
nationwide. AEDs are located in strategic locations such as arrival and departure
halls and are accessible to the public 24/7. The company has also trained its
staff to operate the AEDs and to provide basic life support.
Another example is the 1 million AEDs Campaign, which
was launched in 2018 by a group of healthcare professionals, including
cardiologists and emergency physicians. The campaign aims to install one
million AEDs in public places across Malaysia within ten years. To date, the campaign
has installed more than 1,000 AEDs in various locations, including shopping
malls, schools, and community centers.
The increasing availability of AEDs in public places
has already shown positive results. In 2019, a man collapsed in a shopping mall
in Kuala Lumpur, and was saved by a security guard who used an AED to revive
him. In the same year, a Malaysian football player suffered a cardiac arrest
during a match but was revived by the team physiotherapist who used an AED.
However, despite the progress that has been made,
there is still much work to be done. According to the Ministry of Health, there
are only around 3,000 AEDs in Malaysia, which is far from the ‘one million’
target set by the 1 million AEDs Campaign. In addition, there is a need for
more education and training on AED use, as many Malaysians are still unaware of
what AEDs are and how to use them.
Rising Incidence of Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Malaysia
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a serious and
potentially fatal condition that occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating.
It is a major public health concern in Malaysia, as the incidence of SCA has
been on the rise in recent years. According to the Malaysian Society of
Cardiology, the number of SCA cases has increased by 50% in the past decade,
with an estimated 15,000 people dying from SCA every year.
There are several factors that contribute to the
rising incidence of SCA in Malaysia. One of the main reasons is the increasing
prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension (approximately 30% of
Malaysians aged 18 years and above are affected from hypertension, according to
the Malaysian National Health and Morbidity Survey 2019), diabetes (the
diabetes prevalence in Malaysia ranges from 7.3% to 23.8%, according to
published reports), obesity (according to the National Health and
Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2019, Malaysia’s obesity rate among 18 years and above
is reported to be 19.7%), and smoking. These risk factors are known to
increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is a leading cause of SCA.
Another factor is the lack of awareness and education
about SCA among the general public. Many people are not aware of the symptoms
of SCA or how to respond to it. This lack of awareness can result in delayed or
inadequate treatment, which can significantly reduce the chances of survival.
In addition, there is a shortage of trained personnel
and equipment to respond to SCA emergencies. Many public places and workplaces
do not have automated external defibrillators (AEDs) or trained first
responders who can administer CPR and use AEDs to save lives.
To address the rising incidence of SCA in Malaysia,
there needs to be a concerted effort to improve awareness and education about
SCA, as well as to increase the availability of AEDs and trained personnel in
public places and workplaces. This can be achieved through public health
campaigns, training programs for first responders and healthcare professionals,
and partnerships between the government, healthcare organizations, and the
private sector.
In addition, there needs to be a greater focus on
preventive measures, such as promoting healthy lifestyles and managing risk
factors for cardiovascular disease. This can include initiatives such as
smoking cessation programs, healthy eating campaigns, and regular physical
activity.
Surge in Home Care Settings Due to the COVID-19
Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant
changes in the way healthcare is delivered. One of the most notable changes has
been the rise in home care settings, as many patients are now being treated in
the comfort of their own homes to minimize the risk of exposure to the disease.
This shift toward home care has led to an increase in the use of defibrillators
in Malaysia, as healthcare providers recognize the importance of having access
to this lifesaving equipment in a home setting.
Defibrillators are devices that deliver an electric
shock to the heart to restore its normal rhythm. They are commonly used in
hospitals and other healthcare settings, but their use in the home has become
increasingly important due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With more patients
receiving care at home, there is a greater need for defibrillators to be
readily available in case of an emergency.
The rise in home care settings has led to an increase
in the availability of portable defibrillators. These devices are designed to
be compact and lightweight, making them easy to transport and use in a home
setting. They are also designed to be user-friendly, with clear instructions
and visual prompts to guide the user through the defibrillation process.
In Malaysia, there has been a concerted effort to
increase the availability of defibrillators in home care settings. The Ministry
of Health has implemented several initiatives to promote the use of portable
defibrillators in the community, including training programs for healthcare
providers and general public. These programs aim to increase awareness about
the importance of defibrillators in saving lives, as well as to improve the
skills and knowledge of those who may need to use them in an emergency.
In addition, there has been an increase in the number
of private healthcare providers offering home care services that include the
use of defibrillators. These providers recognize the importance of having
access to this lifesaving equipment in a home setting and have made significant
investments in acquiring and maintaining portable defibrillators.
The rise in home care settings due to the COVID-19
pandemic has highlighted the importance of having access to defibrillators in
the community. By increasing awareness, improving access, and providing
training programs, it can be ensured that patients receiving care at home have
access to the lifesaving equipment they need in case of an emergency. This is
an important step toward improving the overall health and wellbeing of the
Malaysian population, both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
