How do you recognize if someone has just had a cardiac arrest? Most importantly, what should you do? You only have a few short minutes to save that person’s life.This TEDx Talk will help you to identify what an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is and what you should do. Bystander hands-only CPR and the use of an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is the key to a person’s survival. Would you have the knowledge and courage to help save a person’s life? Listen to Mike’s personal story and learn exactly what you need to know to help someone who has suffered an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Mike Broderick experienced an out-of-hospital- cardiac arrest in May of 2017. He is a survivor. One of the lucky 100 out of a 1,000.

Mike, I had a similar experience - I was 29 in 2019, when I had my OHCA. I happened to leave my apartment and go to my building laundry room - and had a converstation with someone. Had I not done that, I would have died - my spouse was still asleep early that morning.

Can à person be in cardiac arrest while being sedated and Intubation?

[@MikeBroderick50]

I'm not medically trained, but I would think that a person's heart could go into cardiac arrest in that situation. If they did, they would have medical staff right there to address the situation.
