I really agree you guys hit this one on the head and as a Paramedic myself and diver I constantly watch for these kinds of things and am prepared for situations such as these and agree this is a topic that not only nurses need to be aware of and trained more thoroughly on but all healthcare providers in hospital and pre-hospital as well. Here in Mississippi where I live at we have a large reservoir that a lot of people not only boat on but we have a few people that dive it as well, mostly dive rescue teams but we have a fairly good size river that has a strong undercurrent to it that people have drown in trying to swim in it. So once again guys bravo on this video and subject. Look forward to any further videos you guys may do on this situation and any others.
Hello RedneckMedic85, thank you for the kind words. After producing this video, we have talked about shooting more showing representations of what can happen to a diver.
Have you ever tried to effectively properly inflate a willing participant or a water rescue training manikin in this situation? It is near on impossible. Depending on the distance towed and terrain of removal site odds of effective CPR are negligible. Now don't get me wrong....I liked the direction you are going with the video. Can you do a second video with steps for each phase of the evolution of the situation? Cheers Lifeguard(ret) & rescue diver.
Hello wcresponder, I can honestly say that after 31 years in the Scuba Industry and after 15 years in the Public Service, where I have served as a Deputy Sheriff / Police Officer / Fire Fighter / EMT / Public Safety Diver / Underwater Criminal Investigator, yes I have performed many water rescues on both divers and non divers. No rescue will ever be perfect or text book, but at the training phase we do our best to teach a consistent method that works across multiple platforms and philosophies. This video's intentions were to show emergency room nurses what happens during a panic diver situation where the diver rapidly ascends and develops either an air embolism or pneumothorax. The rescue efforts were not the focus of the video. We also have a behind the scenes version to this video explaining why we made it, and where it will be shown in 2019. I will link it here for you. ua-cam.com/video/T6tS4UCvmuI/v-deo.html
@@LakeHickoryScuba Thanks for your reply and please don't think I was trying to slam your video or to berate any training of those in the video. I believe this is great launching point to help experienced and new divers & professionals. After 35 years responding, training instructing in water rescue, first responders, first aid, I've to many videos/films for instruction that don't go far enough to explain how things can/will/do go in reality. Cheers.
wcresponder, I didn't take it that way at all. And thank you for your dedicated service as well. We are discussing making more videos showing different techniques of egress and rescue based off of geographical location and the physical abilities of divers. Filming just simply takes time.
Personally I don't drink, but after shooting a video like this it kind of makes me want to start. My wife said this was one of the hardest videos for her to watch, just as it was one of the hardest for me to produce.
Trust me, this was difficult to film. At depth I had to exhale every bit of air I had in my lungs before I attempted to make an ascent. It took multiple takes, as I would only swim up 5 feet at a time to get the effect of a rapid ascent.
Excellent training video!
Thanks J John

That was really awesome, well done
Thanks Mark.
Nice video as usual sir!!! That could happen to any of us!
Thanks Corey, we agree, this could happen to any of us.
I was expecting a JoJo meme
No memes, just education.
@@LakeHickoryScuba yare yare
I guess you can always create your own memes if you so choose. Happy Diving.
good job.
Thank You.

@@LakeHickoryScuba Outstanding I'll keep checking in. cheers
great video, i think i have to get some diver down beer today... you know for after the dive =)

Well that was kinda scary.... didn’t see exhalation on accent....

That’s called vsa not unconscious and no one should be making out with a dude .
Vital Signs Absent, just one of many ways to say it. Thanks.
