999 call from wife who performs CPR on her husband

- Last August, Phillip from Derby went into cardiac arrest before he had even climbed out of bed. His wife Mandy bravely called 999, pulled him off the bed and performed CPR on her husband until our ambulance crews arrived.
We need to give huge thanks to the call handler, Carl Ford, who took the initial message and dealt with this in such a calm measured voice. Amazing and astonishing, really. Bless him. (And, yes, Phillip survived).

How’s his back from hitting the floor? ❤️🇳🇿😁
amazing
So good to hear that! So many heroes worked together to save his life
"Keep going, we're nearly there. I know it's going to feel like a long time but we're nearly there." The dispatcher words are so comforting and calm.
You mean call handler... Call handler and dispatcher are two very different jobs. I know as I work in ambulance control
British 999 call dialogues are so efficient. Its comforting to hear how efficient, systematic and comforting they are trained to be.
Okay okay, why is this not part of every school curriculum again?
because LGBTQ curriculum takes precedence over life support training. and if you disagree, you're a bigot, Nazi and any ists under the sun.
Right? I only got to train doing cpr at 28 years old and even then it's because it was finally included in the general university curriculum. In my country you have to wait until either uni or driver's school. It should definitely be part of a health class in middle school or highschool (younger kids would probably be too weak to do it). And they didn't really teach other first aid stuff either, like how to react to burns or spot a stroke. It might seem kind of advanced and unnecessary if they can call the emergency phone, but at the same time I feel like that's much more useful than learning details about Ancient Roman politics or largest lakes on different continents.
It is now part of the school curriculum in the uk from September 2020. took a couple of attempts to get it through parliament
This is so true! This should be taught!!!
It is in Britain. I had to do it three times before leaving school as part of the curriculum. Pretty much everyone I know my age knows how to do this.
In UAE, we take CPR class as a part of our academic plan in health science subject. It's very important to learn it.
In America we throw our sick and poor to the dogs.
@@stephenmandelbaum2027 really??
These operators are so calm and composed. You guys are amazing.
They have to be.
Its amazing how calm all dispatchers are
I was taught CPR in middle school and then took a course for my license, I really hope that I will never have to use it
Well done Mandy and the 999 handler. That was so brave and I'm glad he made it ❤❤
I came home from work to find my friend on the floor she was breathing but not enough.I called 999 the on the other end help me for 30 minutes before the paramedics got there me and him tried to save her but with In 5 minutes of arriving they said told me she had gone it may have been longer but it wasn't long.i want to thank everyone that day but especially the 999 man.i was alone with my friend in the dark for 30 min the electric had gone but I could not find the key and I didn't want to leave her to look and on top of all that I was having an Asmara attack with out and inhaler.if he was not there to calm me down I think I probably have died with her.so thank you again it will be 2 years in September I got a bit of ptst left but it's getting better
Awh, that’s so sad to here but I’m glad to hear your okay
She is so brave
Usually you get really out of breat right away doing chest compressions. She seems very calm...
She’s probably running on adrenaline. At least in my case, when something serious happens I leave all the freaking out to my brain and just buckle down and focus, so that may be what was going on with her. I also agree, it’s hard to keep the right beat with compressions.
I'm going to link this in a powerpoint presentation for my EMT course on what EMD is.
How do british people stay so calm??!! I would be paralyzed with fear tbh
we're kinda brought up like that
when you're the only one there it would be no good to anyone not try and stay rational
@@NaruSasuLemon as a Brit, it's sadly true. We're just brought up to think that stressing out isn't going to help anyone. And it's true. How is having a break down going to help you or the other person.
In the US I had CPR training in high school (grade 11 or 12) as part of phys ed, but as I recall it was not mandatory. It really should be.
I was taught first-aid and CPR at around 9/10 years old then 16 years old. (Btw I live the U.K.)
The response times of UK ambulances is insane it’s like they’re waiting outside 😳 you’re looking at at least 10+ minutes here in Canada
They're about 11 min in rural areas and 7 in built up areas, we're a lot more tightly packed so it's a lot quickly thankfully
In this case it took 6 minutes from her dialing 999 and he was resuscitated on scene and taken to hospital.
Thats why i live near hospital
We are a very small island nation compared to the vastness of Canada and the US. Most people aren't more than a couple of miles from a hospital or ambulance station unless they live rurally and then they'd send out the helicopter.
It's always about 11 minutes no matter the time of day
Did he survive?
Yes: www.emas.nhs.uk/news/latest-news/2018-news/cardiac-arrest-survivor-thanks-crew-who-shocked-him-back-to-life/
Hi Melissa happy birthday thanks 😊☺hope your feeling well and you have recovered well thanks again 😊I love you so much 🎵💗💖you so much joy today night I hope your family 👪💗well thanks 😊I love you so much 🎵love your emergency dr ranj nursing home 🏡
Can someone explain ?
He says twice per second but counds 1,2,3,4 and says she should match him ?
Well, he is counting two times per seconds, so she just have to compress every time he says a digit
you need to compress quicker than once per second, timing of his counting is about ideal. it should be in synch with beat of the song "staying alive". there is no need for mouth to mouth in places where help arives within 10 minutes (cities and towns with hospitals), in cases of cardiac arrest.
he said *atleast* two times per second
Missed the bit about tilting the head back and checking that the patient's airways are not obstructed.
In an EMD setting we don’t tell patients to do that, and we usually just tell them to do chest compressions only. There are exceptions to this, but most cardiac arrests will result in compressions only instructions being given. Source: 999 call handler at LAS.
The caller advised the patient was not breathing, by checking the airway this would have been wasting valuable time for the chest compressions. If there was an airway obstruction, the chest compressions would have dislodged the obstruction.
@@PTGRail why do they no longer recommend breathing for the patient? When I was trained in CPR as a child in the 1970's, we were told to breathe every 4 compressions. Now they don't seem to have people do the breathing at all
brendalg4 it’s because untrained rescue breaths are usually ineffective so they prioritise the compressions - if you are trained in BLS they recommend the rescue breaths
@@brendalg4 I recently had basic training and we were told to do two breaths after every 30 compressions. A breath after every 4 seems like way too many breaks in chest compressions. The blood barely starts moving and you already stop it. We didn't train actual mouth to mouth, just using an air pump (which you can have in your car) and we were also told it's ok not to do the breaths if there's no air pump (compressions are the main thing).
this 999 operator did really well. it just always bothers me when they tell them to do the compressions at that pace because it really needs to be twice that fast. I'm always like noooooo go faster!
Then why do they say that you should do compressions to the beat of the song Stayin Alive?
No, the speed he was telling her is correct and is what is taught by the Red Cross.
@Dunadangirl that is not what I heard. I heard that the ribs might break but that is not supposed to be your goal. I know sometimes Doctors hit the person's chest but I don't know when that needs to be done
@Dunadangirl was your teacher somebody who is qualified to teach CPR?
Of course maybe they have changed it since I took it in the 70s. I know they have changed how they do it. They don't have you breathe in the person's mouth anymore. But I wonder if that is actually more effective or if they did it because they can't get people to do CPR at all because they don't want to breathe into the person's mouth
He forgot the breathing part...
Nowadays it's not recommended unless someone is fully trained. People have better rates of survival if they just keep going with the compressions without worrying about when to do breaths.

Interesting!
What about oxygen to prevent brain-death?
@@OrenLikes your blood carries oxygen to your cells so it helps in that respect. Ideally you would have both of course but chest compressions only still have better outcomes than doing a combination of compressions and breaths incorrectly
@@OrenLikes It-s been quite a while now that they've discovered just doing compressions is best. I was perplexed when I had CPR training years ago and they were adding the breaths in. That IS NOT the best technique. Just chest compressions - done well, and that's it.
@@000snow000 what I heard was they stopped asking people to do breaths because they couldn't get anyone to breathe into the mouth of a stranger
