Chris IsBetterThanYou When I was in school, we had a week long course on boating safety, and then another week long course on how drugs and alcohol can impair you. They'd make you wear glasses that simulated different drugs, and you'd have to put your forehead on a bat and spin around then try to do certain tasks, to simulate being drunk. They also had us do mock calls to 911 and the coast guard on either course, where we'd call or radio in to the coast guard. But we never once had any sort of CPR training. That's so odd to me. They taught us how to not drown, what to do in case of a boating accident, and they also taught us about how drugs impair you and what to do in the case of drug overdoses or alcohol poisoning. Yet no CPR training. None. Why couldn't they dedicate a week to teaching students how to do CPR? I think everyone should learn basic CPR and in school.
More schools including mine are now practicing CPR in PE. This is great because now we will know what to do in this situation. Good luck and great to see you alive and healthy!
Dont stop the compressions, for kids break the ribs it's fine they'll get over it and live just dont stop the compressions Edit: if you get tired, ask out loud if anyone knows CPR and if they can take over (I forgot that part thank you for bringing that up, pretug)
@Matthew Madruga sorry mate but if I see someone having a heart attack and need CPR, I'm going to try my dammedist to save them until the paramedics get to me
Actually, as am medical student trained on this topic. I can say that breaking someones ribs is nearly impossible if you are doing it correctly. You shouldn't put pressure on the point the heart is but on the sternum about two thirds down. Also don't interlock your fingers much because if you have long nails, you won't be able to do last long as it will be really uncomfortable.
I had a anxiety attack when watching this I’m like WHAT IF THIS WAS YOU NO STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS BUT WHAT IF WAIT NO DONT STOP BUT IT COULD HAPPEN TO ME NO STOP THINKING ABOUT THAT BUT IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
My dad had this happen to him just over a year ago, I had to give him CPR for 11 minutes till the ambulance got here. Don’t bother with the breaths, the most important thing is CPR as it keeps the blood flowing until the paramedics can get there with a defibrillator. Fortunately he’s absolutely fine now, but without CPR he would not be here.
Deoxygenated blood around the body? If they've had a cardiac arrest due to aspiration or lack of oxygen, there will be Deoxygenated blood present so cpr isn't as effective unless you give the breathes, just to let you know x
Tbh it's fine whatever you do, doing cpr is good enough, even as a medic myself, I wouldn't give breaths most of the time unless I had a face shield or pocket mask or using a bag - valve mask. It's about doing whatever you're comfortable with and what's effective... seen as bystander interception in a situation is really low x
My friend died two years ago from exactly the same thing, ironically he was also called Ben. He was 16 at the time and out running alone, so he never got help. If you ever see anyone collapse please just go over and check because those first few minutes really do count.
As a medical student trained on this topic I want to add a few things and correct some. 1.You shouldn't put pressure on the point the heart is but on the sternum about two thirds down. 2.Mouth to mouth resuscitation is not as important. If you are not trained for this, do not waste time on it. While you are doing CPR, you don't specifically put pressure on the heart but compress the ribcage which also helps inspiration and expiration. 3. Your arms need to be perpendicular to the patients body and straight while doing CPR.
Survival rates for that one are much much lower. Its damn near impossible. You'd have a better chance being attacked by both a bear and a shark while overdosing on Herion, Mdma, and Cocaine at the same time.
For reference I'm a student paramedic, although it is a very good video I'd just like to say rescue breathes aren't taught anymore or recommend. If you discover someone in cardiac arrest call 999 and start cpr immediately and do everything you can to limit time spent off their chest, so no mouth to mouth! Maintain chest compression at a constant rate only and don't stop for anything unless; they regain consciousness, you are relieved by another someone else who is will continue compressions, or you are physically to exhausted to continue. Early access and recognition, Early CPR, Early defibrilation and Early advanced life support will all greatly increase someone's chance of survival! I hope you never have to do it but just in case, you could save someone's life! If you are interested and want to learn more I highly recommend attending a first aid class it's an invaluable life skill!

6 months ago, I lost my beloved aunt (age 54) due to cardiac arrest during morning 6:00 AM hours...she was on the way to home in travel bus :( There was not any related medical history or any heart condition....it was all of a sudden. She was declared brought dead in the hospital....the doctor said that she was already gone within 5-10 min. from the time of suffering a cardiac arrest. If only there was a little bit more time, if someone had done a proper CPR or got a defibrillator on the way to the hospital.......... :( Thanks for sharing this....may it save someone's life and I pray to God that no one or their beloved should be a victim of cardiac arrest.
Same thing happened with my neighbour's husband. Cardiac arrest at home, she panicked rather than calling someone and when my mom was notified she started CPR but it was too late
Naomi Bonnici It’s not more effective, but it was show that many people don’t even start CRP if they have in mind that they have to do breathing as well. So it’s like better do compressions than nothing...
Statement from the Resus Council (2018): Compression-only CPR describes the performance of uninterrupted chest compressions without rescue breathing. In many adults who suffer a cardiac arrest, the heart stops abruptly; breathing will have been normal (or nearly normal) so the blood should be well oxygenated. In this situation compression-only CPR may be effective for the first few minutes after the heart stops. This may provide time for the emergency services to arrive or an AED to be collected. Ultimately the oxygen will be used up and rescue breaths are required to give the victim the best chance of resuscitation. Where cardiac arrest is caused by lack of oxygen (as in drowning and most arrests that occur in children) compression-only CPR will be much less effective. Chest compression alternating with rescue breaths is the ideal first aid procedure, but for untrained bystanders or those unwilling to give rescue breaths, compression-only CPR (hands only) is a useful alternative.
CPR is such a vital skill and it should be taught in schools, colleges, workplaces... When I was at uni I performed CPR on another student who collapsed at a sporting event - I am a trained first aider and I am extremely grateful for my skills. Thanks to my training and the defib someone ran and got from the sports centre and the other person who called 999 whilst I was doing compressions, he is still alive. Broke three of his ribs but he survived.
thats great and theguy who suffered cardiac arrest is lucky you were around :) I think everybody needs to learn how to respond in this kind of situations. My only real life experience is actually when i was on vacation. I am from Slovakia and the closest sea we have is in Croatia, so most of holidays abroad we have been to were in Croatia. Last year when we were in Drvenik, where we board the ferry to go to island of Hvar and as you wait for the ferry you are right next to the beach and we saw that there was a man on the beach who had suffered a cardiac arrest but there were already paramedics preforming CPR, so he was already being taken care of, but I have been reading a lot about first aid and watching similar videos so if I have ever been in a situation where I am one of the first witnesses of such an event I would know what to do.
When I was born, I had the allover baby checks. We were given the results that everything was fine - but in reality it wasn’t. Six months down the line, I was going blue at night, struggling to breathe but my family was told I was fine. But as the six month mark hit, my parents received a phone call telling them to come in urgently into the hospital. They were told I had a severe heart condition and that I could die any day, and I needed open heart surgery to save my life as I didn’t have a chance of survival without it. But the worst thing about it, is that they apologised so much because my heart results from when I was born, were LOCKED away in a cupboard draw - and a healthcare assistant stumbled upon it cleaning. Which is the only way my family and I found out I was seriously ill. Young people need to have regular checkups on their hearts until they’re 18 to prevent these sort of things from happening. It can save a life, like mine, like his.
My grandpa survived a cardiac arrest. He had one while playing racquetball and only survived because there was a defibrillator and a trained professional nearby. I'm very thankful he's still with us
I'm a little older than this but celebrated the first anniversary of my own OHSCA last Friday (5/8/22). Mine happened in a health club, and I was attended to at the time pretty much immediately by the team of lifeguards. I spent an hour or so in the club on Friday and was blessed to meet (again) Archie who did CPR on me a year ago. The whole process took around four minutes during which the defibrillator was prepped and successfully activated by the team. I am incredibly lucky and honoured to have been successfully saved by five young people in their late teens - early twenties. Everything in this video resonates with what I have been told about my event. I spent the weekend with my partner, as with the mother in this video many people are affected deeply by these events. We ate out and rode across the moors on my motorbike. It was a good weekend, we celebrated life. There is nothing that we can say other than thank you.
I think its important to mention that if the person who requires CPR is vomiting, bleeding from the mouth or you fear that you may potentially be putting your self at risk of contracting a virus or diseases via the saliva fluids, then CPR can still be performed with just the compressions alone as the blood in the body is generally still carrying oxygen. The compressions should be done rhythmically, ironically the beat for Queens 'Another one bites the dust' is the perfect rhythm to use when performing the compressions.. "boomp boomp boomp, another one bites the dust"
I’m so glad shows like this exist. You never know what is gonna happen and where, so it’s really important to know what to do and what not to do per situation. The more bizarre ones for this show are really helpful too.
My mum had a cardiac arrest and shes only alive because i gave her cpr and a ambulance was on the scene within minutes with a defib so very lucky.. but now i worry alot that it will happen to me
You did the best and I am glad to hear that your mom is alive. I'm sure she is so proud of you. I lost my dad (not biological) and my father in law because of heart attack. And I felt the same and I already had issues with my heart. I also worry for my husband too. I don't know your age but after 35, go to cardiologist for yearly check-up. And be careful with your lifestyle. Try not to stress and worry a lot because emotional stress can effect too.
1:26 welp he was clinically dead, his heart has stopped pumping and it was great that the colleagues took action, started CPR fast and got a defibrillator into scene fast. They literally brought him back to life, and it is great when people do know how to respond in these kind of situations, it may save someone´s life and this video shows an excellent example of that. Also, shoutout to Josh for doing his best in that situation.
My dad died last November inside the Church from Cardiac Arrest. I wished defibs were available at that time. It could have made a difference. Missed my dad a lot...
My dad went into Cardiac arrest, my fiancee gave him cpr and he came through, but 22 days later he died. But I was still glad that my fiancee have cpr experience because he brought him back to life because he clinical dead, just glad we had extra time to be with him even though he never aware of anything and went into a vegetative state. I think it would have hurt worse if he died at home. It gave him the chance to die naturally with hospice. I'm going to go to cpr training asap.
This happened to my aunt, her mouth was foaming and it happened incredibly quick! She was taking my cousin to work and she got the end of the road and went back home because she got a sudden pain rush through her chest and arms but it wasn’t getting any better. It was maybe like 10 minutes later and then she just fell, luckily she was on the sofa so she didn’t hit her head. She’s on her road to recovery now a year on, she’s still not 100% but she’s still with us thank god.
I always try to remember where defibrillatiors are. And refresh your cpr skills. Nobody remembers it from doing it once. I should be taught in school....
I’m Australian & I intend to find out what businesses I frequent have defibrillators available. I’d take a 1st Aid course but honestly, I’m the person you use CPR on
What to tell the emergency services: For example: There is a non-breathing 20-30 male on the floor unconscious and not breathing. Remember, if you are with someone else, get them to call 999/911. While they are on call, start CPR. As soon as you can, get an AED and follow all instructions. If you are tired, or cannot continue, get someone else to carry on.
My aunt died in front of me 3 months ago from sudden cardiac arrest. I performed CPR for 30 minutes waiting on an ambulance to arrive. I can walk to where the ambulance comes from in 10 minutes. They thought she was having an anxiety attack because she called 911 2 times the week prior and they blamed it on anxiety attacks even when she begged the hospital to keep her and run more tests. She got on her hands and knees and begged them to give her oxygen cause she couldn't breathe. They discharged her. Then a week later the cardiac arrested happened and she died.
We also have been trained to use a defibrillator and how to put air in and out. We also learned about how to save someone from choking. Phew good job man!
Are defibrillators something they have readily available in the UK? That's awesome, I haven't seen a single one here in the US and I've traveled all over the country. That's nuts.
Learning true cpr, and how a defib works totally made me see how serious of a life saving procedure/tool this is...take a class and learn it, Red Cross offers them all the time and they have dummies that u can practice on that click to show you how hard to push...even if you never practice it again, having it in the back of your mind will make you feel just the slightest bit more prepared should an emergency arise
amazing 🙂 great video ... and thankfully a good outcome ... it really can be scary if youve never done it but you really have to and when you start you find the fear subsides when u realise your giving that person the best chance .
What a scary, but ultimately heartwarming (no pun intended) story. Every public venue should be required to have at least one defibrillator, and school children should be taught how to perform the CPR. Well done to Ben's colleagues.
One time when I was about to go to sleep my heart/ chest started feeling like it was being pushed down and it hurt. I couldn't breathe for about a minute and I was alone in my room and I thought I was dying or having a heart attack but then a minute later I was fine idk what happened to me.
ATTENTION: NEW ADVICE FOR CPR DO NOT DO RESCUE BREATHS UNLESS YOU HAVE A FACE SHEILD AS THIS PROTECTS YOU AND THE PATEIN, CPR IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE BREATHS
@@peppeppermintangel opening the airway is not straightforward and there is plenty of oxygenated blood in the body to go around.Especially if you are untrained in CPR.New research prefers hands only CPR as stopping to try open the airway is a bad idea. I am not a medical professional but this is what I have been taught.
@@Tomas-ml9nv I just did a first aid course and they taught the 30 pumps and then 2 breaths. Yes I suppose for it to be effective you do need to tilt the head back slightly in order to open the airway. I guess if you don't know this maybe it wouldn't be worth it? I guess this 'new research' you're referring to needs to be verified a bit more because it hasn't yet been adopted by medical professionals
My dad died at 26 from cardiac arrest!! I was only 3 years old im 18 now n I’ve just founded out i have a leaky heart valve which is mild n im sorting out my hypertension
Wow that’s so sad that no one knows how to perform cpr where I am and how to even detect the cardiac arrest..And of course there’s no defibrillators huh; and I’m concerned that operators would guide you through it. Sad. But good for this boy and UK!
Saving a life is the most incredible feeling. All of you guys go and learn a little bit of CPR techniques and first aid. You never know whose life you can save!
Quick CPR lesson: For Adults - put your dominant hand over the other and lace your fingers (palm to back of hand). Press into the middle of the chest 2 inches down. (Yes you most likely will break ribs). The rule is 30 - 2 - 30. 30 pushes, check for signs of life, 2 breaths, 30 reps. There are multiple objects to prevent your mouth from touching theirs. Try to find someone to help you, CPR is exhausting. And dont touch their body while shocking them!!!! Infants - hold them in your arm on their back. Only use two fingers and press in the middle of the chest, NOT as hard as a full grown person obviously.
Don't worry about the ribs! I ended up with 2 cracked ribs, a separated sternum and a heart contusion. But you know what? I am ok with that because I am here today. Those things healed!
Well the thing is that there are many types of irregular rhythms or arrhythmias, in some you may even feel no symptoms at all and they are not immediatelly life-threatening, in some cases you may feel symptoms and there are arrhythmias that lead to cardiac arrest and you are unconscius within a few seconds - such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation which are on the shockable side of CA rhythms - basically in ventricular tachycardia sometimes patient is conscious and therefore not in CA and treatment may be either antiarrhymic drugs or synchronised cardioversion - in sznchronised cardioversion shock is delivered, but it is lower than in defibrillation and it delivers the electrical current in a very specific time of a heartbeat (during R wave) however ventricular tachycardia can also be pulseless meaning the patient is in actual cardiac arrest - so they are unconscious, pulseless and not breathing and their heart does not pump blood around the body. Basically in vtach it is a very fast rhythm originating in hearts lower chambers (ventricles) and vfib is also one of the shockable cardiac arrest rhythms and what is happening during vfib is that there are chaotic impulses comming from ventricles and the heart in v fib is basically quivering and shaking instead of pumping blood, so vtach and vfib is when you do need a defibrillator and try to shock that person back into that beautiful sinus rhythm - normally electrical impulses of our heart start in so called SA node, which is our primary pacemaker - it sets how fast our heart beats - so it sets the pace and in what rhythm. And then in non-shockable side of cardiac arrest rhythms are asystole and PEA - I think asystole is what you imagined when you said their heart stops and they are in cardiac arrest, but person is in cardiac arrest even in pulseless vtach or vfib cuz, well, in those rhythms the heart cannot function properly, it aint circulating blood and they are unconscious and not breathing, but back to asystole - thats when there is no electrical activity in heart whatsoever, on monitor yoou will se a flat line, thats why in some medical shows you may hear ,, he is flatlining" and defibrillation would not work in this case, what you can do in this case is CPR and paramedics will provide medicine such as epinephrine. And another unshockable rhythm is PEA or pulseless electrical activity - which is pretty self explanatory, there is an electrical activity in heart, monitor may even show a completely normal sinus rhythm but it is not generating pulse and the person is in cardiac arrest.
Why? Mouth to mouth get air into the lungs. Doesn't matter whether u know them would u not want to save them. If u give CPR without mouth to mouth then chances are they're going to die, or have brain damage.
@@paladinoestetica because if you do mouth-to-mouth, if they have tuberculosis, for example, you now have it. If you have no face mask to provide air, just do compressions. Now if you know them, that's a different story.
@@BlankName88 uncommon & treatable. Approx 0.0009% of the population. Very unlikely. Chances are you're not going to catch a disease, but if u do almost all are treatable.
@@paladinoestetica not in the medical field. You're tested every year for tb. The symptoms of tb can be managed, but you'll always come up positive for the virus. And compressions are better than nothing. In the medical field, you don't do mouth-to-mouth to provide oxygen.
edriss In Germany where I habe every school has to have one, but in your country or state it can be that the AED has to be in a certain area (like 250-300m) near a school or something...?

Ultimately the oxygen will be used up and rescue breaths are required to give the victim the best chance of resuscitation.
Where cardiac arrest is caused by lack of oxygen (as in drowning and most arrests that occur in children) compression-only CPR will be much less effective.
Chest compression alternating with rescue breaths is the ideal first aid procedure, but for untrained bystanders or those unwilling to give rescue breaths, compression-only CPR (hands only) is a useful alternative.
Watch me go into cardiac arrest right when this video ends. Hopefully not
CPR is such a vital skill and it should be taught in schools, colleges, workplaces...
When I was at uni I performed CPR on another student who collapsed at a sporting event - I am a trained first aider and I am extremely grateful for my skills. Thanks to my training and the defib someone ran and got from the sports centre and the other person who called 999 whilst I was doing compressions, he is still alive. Broke three of his ribs but he survived.
thats great and theguy who suffered cardiac arrest is lucky you were around :) I think everybody needs to learn how to respond in this kind of situations. My only real life experience is actually when i was on vacation. I am from Slovakia and the closest sea we have is in Croatia, so most of holidays abroad we have been to were in Croatia. Last year when we were in Drvenik, where we board the ferry to go to island of Hvar and as you wait for the ferry you are right next to the beach and we saw that there was a man on the beach who had suffered a cardiac arrest but there were already paramedics preforming CPR, so he was already being taken care of, but I have been reading a lot about first aid and watching similar videos so if I have ever been in a situation where I am one of the first witnesses of such an event I would know what to do.
When I was born, I had the allover baby checks. We were given the results that everything was fine - but in reality it wasn’t. Six months down the line, I was going blue at night, struggling to breathe but my family was told I was fine. But as the six month mark hit, my parents received a phone call telling them to come in urgently into the hospital. They were told I had a severe heart condition and that I could die any day, and I needed open heart surgery to save my life as I didn’t have a chance of survival without it. But the worst thing about it, is that they apologised so much because my heart results from when I was born, were LOCKED away in a cupboard draw - and a healthcare assistant stumbled upon it cleaning. Which is the only way my family and I found out I was seriously ill.
Young people need to have regular checkups on their hearts until they’re 18 to prevent these sort of things from happening. It can save a life, like mine, like his.
Vaccinations cause heart conditions in newborns & infants as well. It happened to my baby brother.
how are u now? did u get treated for it?
@@hahna77 my heart condition was a congenital birth defect. Nothing to do with vaccines. Grow up
@@user-gy6fb2kq5v I did get it treated. I’ve had 3 surgeries since and have a valve replacement due in 2 years!
I work as a volunteer paramedic and it is sooo important. Cpr is so easy when you're trained! It can save a life
My grandpa survived a cardiac arrest. He had one while playing racquetball and only survived because there was a defibrillator and a trained professional nearby. I'm very thankful he's still with us
I'm a little older than this but celebrated the first anniversary of my own OHSCA last Friday (5/8/22). Mine happened in a health club, and I was attended to at the time pretty much immediately by the team of lifeguards.
I spent an hour or so in the club on Friday and was blessed to meet (again) Archie who did CPR on me a year ago. The whole process took around four minutes during which the defibrillator was prepped and successfully activated by the team. I am incredibly lucky and honoured to have been successfully saved by five young people in their late teens - early twenties. Everything in this video resonates with what I have been told about my event.
I spent the weekend with my partner, as with the mother in this video many people are affected deeply by these events. We ate out and rode across the moors on my motorbike. It was a good weekend, we celebrated life.
There is nothing that we can say other than thank you.
I think its important to mention that if the person who requires CPR is vomiting, bleeding from the mouth or you fear that you may potentially be putting your self at risk of contracting a virus or diseases via the saliva fluids, then CPR can still be performed with just the compressions alone as the blood in the body is generally still carrying oxygen.
The compressions should be done rhythmically, ironically the beat for Queens 'Another one bites the dust' is the perfect rhythm to use when performing the compressions.. "boomp boomp boomp, another one bites the dust"
Staying alive is also usefull for more optimistik people.
If you are in the UK call 999
If you are in the US call 911
If you live in any other country I am *very sorry*
Common dad joke.
MEGA Oof
"It can happen to anyone at any time"
People with anxiety like me: *Mild panic attack 0_0
I’m so glad shows like this exist. You never know what is gonna happen and where, so it’s really important to know what to do and what not to do per situation. The more bizarre ones for this show are really helpful too.
My mum had a cardiac arrest and shes only alive because i gave her cpr and a ambulance was on the scene within minutes with a defib so very lucky.. but now i worry alot that it will happen to me
You did the best and I am glad to hear that your mom is alive. I'm sure she is so proud of you. I lost my dad (not biological) and my father in law because of heart attack. And I felt the same and I already had issues with my heart. I also worry for my husband too. I don't know your age but after 35, go to cardiologist for yearly check-up. And be careful with your lifestyle. Try not to stress and worry a lot because emotional stress can effect too.
Your mom is so proud of you!!
I guarantee she's very thankful for you being there at her side at that time.
It's disgusting that the some british schools don't teach it
1:26 welp he was clinically dead, his heart has stopped pumping and it was great that the colleagues took action, started CPR fast and got a defibrillator into scene fast. They literally brought him back to life, and it is great when people do know how to respond in these kind of situations, it may save someone´s life and this video shows an excellent example of that. Also, shoutout to Josh for doing his best in that situation.
this is so important and that guy who saved him is such a legend
My dad died last November inside the Church from Cardiac Arrest. I wished defibs were available at that time. It could have made a difference. Missed my dad a lot...
My dad went into Cardiac arrest, my fiancee gave him cpr and he came through, but 22 days later he died. But I was still glad that my fiancee have cpr experience because he brought him back to life because he clinical dead, just glad we had extra time to be with him even though he never aware of anything and went into a vegetative state. I think it would have hurt worse if he died at home. It gave him the chance to die naturally with hospice. I'm going to go to cpr training asap.
This happened to my aunt, her mouth was foaming and it happened incredibly quick! She was taking my cousin to work and she got the end of the road and went back home because she got a sudden pain rush through her chest and arms but it wasn’t getting any better. It was maybe like 10 minutes later and then she just fell, luckily she was on the sofa so she didn’t hit her head. She’s on her road to recovery now a year on, she’s still not 100% but she’s still with us thank god.
In tears,what a lovely story. And the man who saved his life,your an angle on earth Xxxx
I always try to remember where defibrillatiors are. And refresh your cpr skills. Nobody remembers it from doing it once. I should be taught in school....
I’m Australian & I intend to find out what businesses I frequent have defibrillators available. I’d take a 1st Aid course but honestly, I’m the person you use CPR on
I know it’s not supposed to be, but the defibrillators audio is so eerie and discomforting.
Everyone should learn cpr. You can save someone on the street or your own loved ones. Its so important to know cpr. It saves lives.
More of these series, very enjoyable
him: a seventeen year old waiter doing his a levels
me, a seventeen year old waitress doing my a levels: oh fuck
I’m having an actual panic attack because I don’t want to get a cardiac arrest oh god
bandfreak03 I feel you I’m the exact same
I got health anxiety
metaleva same
What to tell the emergency services:
For example:
There is a non-breathing 20-30 male on the floor unconscious and not breathing.
Remember, if you are with someone else, get them to call 999/911. While they are on call, start CPR. As soon as you can, get an AED and follow all instructions. If you are tired, or cannot continue, get someone else to carry on.
My aunt died in front of me 3 months ago from sudden cardiac arrest. I performed CPR for 30 minutes waiting on an ambulance to arrive. I can walk to where the ambulance comes from in 10 minutes. They thought she was having an anxiety attack because she called 911 2 times the week prior and they blamed it on anxiety attacks even when she begged the hospital to keep her and run more tests. She got on her hands and knees and begged them to give her oxygen cause she couldn't breathe. They discharged her. Then a week later the cardiac arrested happened and she died.
Schools should stop teaching kids about useless stuff that they won’t use in the future and actually teach people how to do cpr and all of this stuff.
Be safe out there everyone. I pray this stuff won’t happen to my mom or my family .
I took a CPR class and you would have to go in a rhythm they said. The nurse said a good rhythm to follow is the Baby Shark song 🦈
Glad those people were around.
We need more defibrillators in shops, public area's
We also have been trained to use a defibrillator and how to put air in and out. We also learned about how to save someone from choking. Phew good job man!
bless you josh
I remember being told in school.
If u brake their ribs, literally no one would care since u r saving their life.
God bless you man I’m glad your okay
Now I am scared
Are defibrillators something they have readily available in the UK? That's awesome, I haven't seen a single one here in the US and I've traveled all over the country. That's nuts.
This is a very neat way of teaching the basics of CPR! Thankful he is alive!
Am i wrong for getting mad at the neighbour who told the mom no. It just broke my heart when she started crying. Her son was dying!! 😡😟
KUDOS TO YOU FOR SAVING BEN'S LIFE ❤
Learning true cpr, and how a defib works totally made me see how serious of a life saving procedure/tool this is...take a class and learn it, Red Cross offers them all the time and they have dummies that u can practice on that click to show you how hard to push...even if you never practice it again, having it in the back of your mind will make you feel just the slightest bit more prepared should an emergency arise
The man did so good to stay calm
amazing 🙂 great video ... and thankfully a good outcome ... it really can be scary if youve never done it but you really have to and when you start you find the fear subsides when u realise your giving that person the best chance .
What a scary, but ultimately heartwarming (no pun intended) story. Every public venue should be required to have at least one defibrillator, and school children should be taught how to perform the CPR. Well done to Ben's colleagues.
I wouldn't mind having that implant even though I've never gone through something like that
One time when I was about to go to sleep my heart/ chest started feeling like it was being pushed down and it hurt. I couldn't breathe for about a minute and I was alone in my room and I thought I was dying or having a heart attack but then a minute later I was fine idk what happened to me.
Sounds like a panic/anxiety attack
death said nah
I have health anxiety and this is my worst nightmare
I am thanking this series
Thank you
God bless everyone in this story
ATTENTION: NEW ADVICE FOR CPR DO NOT DO RESCUE BREATHS UNLESS YOU HAVE A FACE SHEILD AS THIS PROTECTS YOU AND THE PATEIN, CPR IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE BREATHS
Wish I saw this sooner.My Dad died of cardiac arrest on his 48th birthday in front of me and my sisters :(.
I'm so sorry, may he rest in peace.
What a sweet guy!
I'm presuming this series will keep me immortal
Thanks for sharing the knowledge 👍
So lucky my mums a nurse, as well as my sister and auntie. They’ve taught me CPR since I was about 8
How do I survive a cardiac arrest?
Oh! I’ll stop having one to give myself cpr.
Lmao! 😂🤣
The mouth part is bogus just do compressions and dont stop
LobotomisedTardigrade it's not bogus. Why would you even say that?
@@peppeppermintangel opening the airway is not straightforward and there is plenty of oxygenated blood in the body to go around.Especially if you are untrained in CPR.New research prefers hands only CPR as stopping to try open the airway is a bad idea.
I am not a medical professional but this is what I have been taught.
@@Tomas-ml9nv I just did a first aid course and they taught the 30 pumps and then 2 breaths. Yes I suppose for it to be effective you do need to tilt the head back slightly in order to open the airway. I guess if you don't know this maybe it wouldn't be worth it? I guess this 'new research' you're referring to needs to be verified a bit more because it hasn't yet been adopted by medical professionals
@@peppeppermintangel I did first aid course 6 months ago, trust me putting air in the lungs is very important, as you and I would know
theoriginalpeace they tell you not to do it anymore
My dad died at 26 from cardiac arrest!! I was only 3 years old im 18 now n I’ve just founded out i have a leaky heart valve which is mild n im sorting out my hypertension
Wow that’s so sad that no one knows how to perform cpr where I am and how to even detect the cardiac arrest..And of course there’s no defibrillators huh; and I’m concerned that operators would guide you through it. Sad. But good for this boy and UK!
This is why i joined Saint John Ambulans as my co-corricular Uniform in the first place
Saving a life is the most incredible feeling. All of you guys go and learn a little bit of CPR techniques and first aid. You never know whose life you can save!
Quick CPR lesson:
For Adults - put your dominant hand over the other and lace your fingers (palm to back of hand). Press into the middle of the chest 2 inches down. (Yes you most likely will break ribs). The rule is 30 - 2 - 30. 30 pushes, check for signs of life, 2 breaths, 30 reps. There are multiple objects to prevent your mouth from touching theirs. Try to find someone to help you, CPR is exhausting. And dont touch their body while shocking them!!!!
Infants - hold them in your arm on their back. Only use two fingers and press in the middle of the chest, NOT as hard as a full grown person obviously.
How not to die from a cardiac arrest? Just don't have a cardiac arrest. Duh.
PornHubChairman yo i think u might be on to something 🤔💯🧐
realy important vidoe explains well and is touching.
Don't worry about the ribs! I ended up with 2 cracked ribs, a separated sternum and a heart contusion. But you know what? I am ok with that because I am here today. Those things healed!
Informative.
What a hard situation to be in!!
I thought defibrillators are only used for irregular heartbeat? They don’t work for total cardiac arrest, when the heart stops completely.
Well the thing is that there are many types of irregular rhythms or arrhythmias, in some you may even feel no symptoms at all and they are not immediatelly life-threatening, in some cases you may feel symptoms and there are arrhythmias that lead to cardiac arrest and you are unconscius within a few seconds - such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation which are on the shockable side of CA rhythms - basically in ventricular tachycardia sometimes patient is conscious and therefore not in CA and treatment may be either antiarrhymic drugs or synchronised cardioversion - in sznchronised cardioversion shock is delivered, but it is lower than in defibrillation and it delivers the electrical current in a very specific time of a heartbeat (during R wave) however ventricular tachycardia can also be pulseless meaning the patient is in actual cardiac arrest - so they are unconscious, pulseless and not breathing and their heart does not pump blood around the body. Basically in vtach it is a very fast rhythm originating in hearts lower chambers (ventricles) and vfib is also one of the shockable cardiac arrest rhythms and what is happening during vfib is that there are chaotic impulses comming from ventricles and the heart in v fib is basically quivering and shaking instead of pumping blood, so vtach and vfib is when you do need a defibrillator and try to shock that person back into that beautiful sinus rhythm - normally electrical impulses of our heart start in so called SA node, which is our primary pacemaker - it sets how fast our heart beats - so it sets the pace and in what rhythm. And then in non-shockable side of cardiac arrest rhythms are asystole and PEA - I think asystole is what you imagined when you said their heart stops and they are in cardiac arrest, but person is in cardiac arrest even in pulseless vtach or vfib cuz, well, in those rhythms the heart cannot function properly, it aint circulating blood and they are unconscious and not breathing, but back to asystole - thats when there is no electrical activity in heart whatsoever, on monitor yoou will se a flat line, thats why in some medical shows you may hear ,, he is flatlining" and defibrillation would not work in this case, what you can do in this case is CPR and paramedics will provide medicine such as epinephrine. And another unshockable rhythm is PEA or pulseless electrical activity - which is pretty self explanatory, there is an electrical activity in heart, monitor may even show a completely normal sinus rhythm but it is not generating pulse and the person is in cardiac arrest.
This vid is great!
Only do mouth-to-mouth if you know the person. If not, only do compressions until someone arrives with an AED.
Why? Mouth to mouth get air into the lungs. Doesn't matter whether u know them would u not want to save them. If u give CPR without mouth to mouth then chances are they're going to die, or have brain damage.
@@paladinoestetica because if you do mouth-to-mouth, if they have tuberculosis, for example, you now have it. If you have no face mask to provide air, just do compressions. Now if you know them, that's a different story.
@@BlankName88 uncommon & treatable. Approx 0.0009% of the population. Very unlikely. Chances are you're not going to catch a disease, but if u do almost all are treatable.
Compressions wouldn't save a person then because you'd be pumping blood around with no air.
@@paladinoestetica not in the medical field. You're tested every year for tb. The symptoms of tb can be managed, but you'll always come up positive for the virus. And compressions are better than nothing. In the medical field, you don't do mouth-to-mouth to provide oxygen.
If they're on their back, surely their tongue will block their airways? How would you prevent this?
john smith During CPR training, you are told to check and move the tongue.
@@billybarford9986 No, this is a waste of time. If you are untrained, don't worry about the tongue
This is one of the reasons I want to be a paramedic
Well, you'll only have calls like this 5% of the time lmao
3:30 my school doesnt have a defribilator, the closest one is 200m away in another school, is that normal
edriss
In Germany where I habe every school has to have one, but in your country or state it can be that the AED has to be in a certain area (like 250-300m) near a school or something...?
Respect to the guy who used the difibulatar
I thought it was adsvised no to do mouth-to-mouth breath resuscitation.
I'm curious how you plan out your content. Either way - Mav just said he wants to try that. ***MVE***
PLZ some one tell me if this hurts?
Am I the only one who gets bad panic attacks watching these
Amazing
why would you down vote this..
1:56 cardiac arrest explained
Did he just say call “999”!???!!!??
