This is real. You can see the severe cyanosis (blue) in his face. See the way he is holding his arms? That is a sign of lack of oxygen to the brain. His color is restored once he takes a few breaths...great job!
@fastbreakr he should be going alot fast you're right. A key thing to remember is to try and go along with the Bee Gee's song ''Staying Alive''. While going along to this beat, you will hit right on the 100 compression/minute.
@fastbreakr and I really hope you never give me CPR, becuase you are wrong. Deep yes, fast no. If you do it fast, the blood doesn't have time to flow back to the heart. The Australians have a very high standard of lifesaving techniques, I'd love to know what yours are? The local community centre pool?
not to be rude but i hate life gaurds. Why is they only care about sexy girls in bikini's. My sisters friends family went to the beach one day and the sisters brother got swept out to sea, and he is only like 5 or 6 and the life gaurds DIDNT NOTICE, they were just looking at girls bikini's!!! the mom had to swim out to sea to get him!!!!! The life gaurds are so stupid. Then when they DID notice that the mom got him, they just looked at them. BITCHES
How cool is that sooo much more interesting than the AHA training and certification video but were they doing 13 compressions to 2 breaths? I was taught 30 compressions to 2 breaths... Really doesn't matter because it worked just curious
@melissalake84 It depends....American guidelines say continue doing CPR and finish cycles and then use AED...European guidelines say that do CPR but whenever you get the AED, stop CPR and use it.....as you can see, the man doing CPR was in thirteen compressions when the AED arrived so he stopped and used it.......is this in Australia or something??
I'm a lifeguard from Canvey Island in Essex, I'm 26, have been a lifeguard for around 9 months and today I had to perform my first rescue and CPR resuscitation. The man in his 50's was face down in our pool. He had a silent fit and began going in to cardiac arrest!
It's videos like this that kept me on my toes for my first real emergency. Might I add the gentleman regained consciousness and is on to recovery. Thankyou for sharing this video
HELLO OUR LITTLE TUBERS! Jade and Chelsea here. Soooo, we're gonna vlog EVERY DAY of 2012. We figured we're pretty awesome and our lives are slightly different to your average teen girls! Watch our vlogs to get to know us and all the madness that's goes on in our lives at the mo!
@Omega9935 No, he was clinically dead, what you was was agonal gasps, its the body trying to kick itself back alive while the hearts in Fibrillation. I just came off a First Aid course and they showed this video...It's a perfect example, however upsetting to watch.
Great video; it is so difficult to describe agonal gasps to students. This video shows it better than any simulation can ever achieve. I will use this video when conducting CPR classes
Listening to the defibrillator... it never shocked him unless they cut out all three "Shock Advised" alerts. Though, they said he was in Torsads, which is a shockable rhythm, so no idea what's up with that.
If you need to get CPR, First Aid, bloodborne pathogen etc certification go here: .procpr.org/en/test/courses - take the free course and exam then after you can pay for the certificate. Enter this code "CPR-AJcode1" for a discount. Then you can print it off. I need the points from referrers from the code to get my own tests taken XD
These guys are an excellent example of lifeguards. Saving a man or woman's life through CPR is the most admirable thing any human being can do. These men should be commended for it. They kept their cool, did what they learned and reacted calmly and handled the situation perfectly.
If it weren't for the lifeguards' quick thinking and decisive movements, my brother could've A) Drowned in the pool without someone noticing. B) Potentially died from the bleeding in the concussion. C) Not been treated properly and effectively.
Lifeguards NEVER get enough credit for what they do. I've seen the lifeguards in local communities where I live, who get laughed at and kids divebomb and cannonball into pools without any consideration for their own safety and that of the public.
My brothers and I went to a holiday resort in Turkey for youngsters, along with our Dad and his girlfriend and my youngest brother dived into the pool there. But the momentum of the dive, as well as his weight, meant that his head cracked on the bottom of the pool, despite it being quite deep.
The turkish lifeguards dived in straight away along with the hotel staff and recovered him. He was bleeding from the back of his head and was momentarily unconscious during the move to the ambulance.
i was near bondi beach on sunday, friend had a body board. and i was just alone. i wasn't too far and i could touch the ground with my feet. some reason i swim a bit and then next thing i know. i couldn't reach the ground. i was trying to swim back but it was too strong. i couldn't find my friend, and a life guard had to come and safe me..and til now..i can still picture and feel that moment thinking if i was about to die..i thank you life guards very much!
i wasn't too sure. it was hard for me to swim back to sore + by the time i was actually knowing what i was doing. i was very tired to swim back too..now i sort of take my life even more serious..i'm only 20 and yet haven't gone out to trave. i thank so much to that lifeguard soo much
Lifeguards are too underrated, They deserve more respect. They save millions of lives world wide a year. Yet they are hardly as appreciated as, for example, firemen.
And it does sound like a rip tide. Must have been scary, 'cause you didn't know what to do. I nearly drowned in an unsupervised pool on holiday when I was around 7. It really did change my outlook on life even then so I get what you mean.
the next day i went to surf lessons, the beach it was really awesome.. i know now i m not afraid anymore, but i keep that memory to remind myself that i could have died that day so i should treasure the people around me, and less judgemental at people when i see anyone. respect others. because at least if i died, i know i didn't die hating people etc etc...okay i might not be making any sense now.
@CodyJaneKoala I don't know about millions but yeh they definitely do a good job. Also I think the volunteer lifesavers don't get anywhere near the recognition they deserve.
Any medical professionals know if he had decorticate posturing? I'm an RN student and thats what it looked like- but Ive never seen it before in real life.
@sclyons34 It's funny that you noticed that, he is in fact in decorticate posture. That's why they were worried about a possible spinal trauma because he was showing signs of that posture. Any time your body has an ischemic event that is a main cause of it! Good job noticing that. Also-- decorticate posture is just an explanation (description) to an event, it's not a diagnosis. (It's just like a symptom.)
God Job, but I suppose it was an old video, I'm an E.M.T. and Nurse of Emergency Department, and an ISTRUCTOR OF CPR AND DEFIBRILLATION and the new gude line is different...but in any case GOOD JOB GUYS!!!
Wonderful to see this. Just one small comment - this video shows what are now outdated CPR protocols (although no doubt they were current at the time it was fillmed). The recommended rate of compressions is now 100-120 per minute, which is faster than in the video, and the ratio is now 30 compressions to 2 ventilations. Clearly what is shown in the video still worked in that case, but the procedure is updated to reflect available clinical evidence for what gives statistically best outcomes.
Some of the comments made here are very ignorant. I am a Lifeguard instructor with 16 years experience. These guys did the best they could with the training they received and it shows. The person who said CPR was not very effective needs to be educated. CPR was effective in sustaining the victim, however without the defibrillation his chances of survival is very low. Good job to the guards and unfortunately we will always deal with the stereotypes of the ignorant
@warpedcomedy Clinically dead. This means no blood circulation and or no respirations. This guy had neither so he was in fact clinically dead. Now actual death (to the point at which the likelyhood of the man being resuscitated is very slim or with no chance at all), he was never completely dead. But the term "clinical" death is different than actual death.
Maybe if they were looking at the water instead of being posing for the camera, things would be much different. Who took the guy out from the water? Not them definitely. That its a big mistake, this boy was probably in troubles during several time and nobody saw it! Too late.
@soccrm Hey yeah you could be technically right but you know this guy lived because of what these lifeguards did and that is really what this is about LIVING and not about their technical ability. They bought him back from death and that is awesome. Good job guys!
i have a question for experts.. even though he is lifeless with no pulse why even at the beginning it looks like he's gagging? Is it because his brain is still functioning without a pulse?
@teammalaya what your talking about is called agonal respirations (gasping for air). this is common for people in cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest (heart stops). your brain can function without a pulse for up to 6 min. after that brain damage is likely and death is near. unless CPR is done, providing oxygen to the brain and body. i hope that answered your question. if not, ask some more.
I guess being a smallish Asian guy maybe 2" (5cm) would be too much compression, but it did look too shallow and too slow to me. The AED may have done more good than the CPR. Still, points for being there with the AED and radio.
This is a great video. The video was shot in 2006 so the standards were a little different. As an instructor I can say they did a good job staying under control and working together. The body will spasm and odd sounding gasps may occur (agonal gasps). this is normal but it may look like they are alive, they're not. Fast and hard is what the compressions need to be now. These are the standards set by the ECC and AHA. Push fast and push hard. Everyone should learn CPR every 2 years.
@cprguy02 I responded to a call with a 23 yr old female of not breathing/no pulse. She had agonal gasps too. After minutes of cpr she briefly regained a pulse the lost it before being loaded onto the ambulance. Cpr was continued & a pulse & breathing was finally regained. After some scans she displayed no brain activity. She died around2-3 weeks later. Sad stuff.
as a NLS life guard i am truly honored to watch this video, i had done cpr on a baby child in a canadian lake a few days ago... but we were too late in the rescue, we failed to bring the patron to life
:) well done...im so proud of u guys...just save a life there...taka face was pale n even blue....only 5 mins...but every sec is important to save a life.....
Yeah the compressions didnt look nearly as deep as they're supposed to be, but I mean they still saved his life. Compressions are 30-2, the standards have changed a lot since then
Dang guys, he's lucky. I do not know if it's a different standards or it's just old, but here in my city we go by 100 compression chest per minute. We do a cycle of 30 compressions then 2 breaths. Comparing to us the person in this vid giving compression is too slow and not digging deep enough. Thats just our standards here in California, i'm a paramedic firefighter captain.
@NamesEdward I'm an instructor for The American Red Cross (CPR, 1st Aid, AED), and that's the cycle we teach. We also teach you to sweep the mouth before trying rescue breathing (in case something is lodged in the throat that you can't see). Still, they did an amazing job. AEDs have increased the survival rate dramatically. They're great. I really push for those in the workplace, and it's a snap to learn to use it. Hardest thing about an AED is remembering to turn it on.
@marianware its better not to sweep the mouth without knowing there is an object in there because blind sweeping in most cases just pushes the object further down rather than successfully removing it
@marianware strange how different places do it differently.....I am from St John Ambulance in the UK and we only look into the mouth, plus we do 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths. we do it at a rate of 100-120 beats per minute. if they have been dragged from water as in this case then you do 5 breths before you start 30 compressions:2 breaths.
@NamesEdward you do the same as us here in the UK! only if they have been dragged from water then we do 5 breaths then go into CPR at a ratio of 30:2 at 100-120 bpm. been busy recently brother?
its odd that the defib checked rythem directly after the shock. on ours it advised to start CPR right after shock. absolute miricle that he was alive. good coordination between lifeguards. wonderful work
@fairhillnoire, it took them a whole minute after not detecting a pulse to decide to start chest compressions! That's not best practice at all. However, time to defibrillation was excellent which is why the outcome was good :) The machine also I think gave kind strang instructions. Its generally advised that after delivering a shock you resume chest compressions immediately, without stopping to look for a pulse or heart rhythm - as each second without compressions blood pressure is dropping.
saw doc on it... not safe to swim at all unless your a strong swimmer.... scary stuff.. God bless the life guards. they have a difficult job to say the least...
@wwil1231 It was "clinical death" as in no beating heart. However, people who are clinically dead may have some vital signs or signs of life. "Clinical death" isn't extremely uncommon.
If it was a real life a death situation with a real human being in need of cpr.... the force of the chest/ heart thrusts would be hard enough to break a rib.
The force these guys used was not even enough to break a straw.
@bestcover how can he say that.....because he is right. take this from a British Medic........the breaking of a rib/sternum during CPR is a good thing except in the elderly. less resistance to the compressions means that they are more effective. @peterchao221 is right....these compressions are not hard enough, quick enough or at the right ratio to breaths. you should be quiet not him
@Shaftsus why you telling him to fuck off? he know what he is talking about.....i am a medic in the UK and he is right....the standard of this CPR is low. A break of the sternum/ribs during CPR is actually a good thing. MEans that there is less resistance to the compression making them more effective. the only time it is bad is in elderly people. if their ribs break you get a chest cavity collapse and you cant do a thing....they die.
@WhitakerSJA Yeah but these guys have awesome beach bodies....not really soz for being ignorant I didn't know you were an expert you're probably right and know more than me lol : P
As vinnie says, push hard and fast on the sovereign ;)

Maybe if they were looking at the water instead of being posing for the camera, things would be much different. Who took the guy out from the water? Not them definitely. That its a big mistake, this boy was probably in troubles during several time and nobody saw it! Too late.

good job. great video, but i noted a few critical mistakes,
i might have missed it but they should have entered an OPA.
also they didn't do much to immobolize the head and neck and when moving the PT
his had was dangling, which could have resulted in greater damage if there have been a
spinal injury, they also should have performed a jaw trust manuever instead of a head tilt chin lift, again because of the spinal injury suspicion.
but other than that good job on saving a life!

@soccrm to myself, now i see this was shot while back so standards were different.
but as long as it saved his life, with no long term effects great.

@soccrm Hey yeah you could be technically right but you know this guy lived because of what these lifeguards did and that is really what this is about LIVING and not about their technical ability. They bought him back from death and that is awesome. Good job guys!

i have a question for experts.. even though he is lifeless with no pulse why even at the beginning it looks like he's gagging? Is it because his brain is still functioning without a pulse?

@teammalaya its like a spasm of the muscles
aznelfboi 6 months ago
@teammalaya what your talking about is called agonal respirations (gasping for air). this is common for people in cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest (heart stops). your brain can function without a pulse for up to 6 min. after that brain damage is likely and death is near. unless CPR is done, providing oxygen to the brain and body. i hope that answered your question. if not, ask some more.

fluiter2004 7 months ago
I guess being a smallish Asian guy maybe 2" (5cm) would be too much compression, but it did look too shallow and too slow to me. The AED may have done more good than the CPR. Still, points for being there with the AED and radio.

This is a great video. The video was shot in 2006 so the standards were a little different. As an instructor I can say they did a good job staying under control and working together. The body will spasm and odd sounding gasps may occur (agonal gasps). this is normal but it may look like they are alive, they're not. Fast and hard is what the compressions need to be now. These are the standards set by the ECC and AHA. Push fast and push hard. Everyone should learn CPR every 2 years.

kazza224 3 months ago
@cprguy02 I responded to a call with a 23 yr old female of not breathing/no pulse. She had agonal gasps too. After minutes of cpr she briefly regained a pulse the lost it before being loaded onto the ambulance. Cpr was continued & a pulse & breathing was finally regained. After some scans she displayed no brain activity. She died around2-3 weeks later. Sad stuff.

Yeah the compressions didnt look nearly as deep as they're supposed to be, but I mean they still saved his life. Compressions are 30-2, the standards have changed a lot since then
14LiveYourLife14 8 months ago
Dang guys, he's lucky. I do not know if it's a different standards or it's just old, but here in my city we go by 100 compression chest per minute. We do a cycle of 30 compressions then 2 breaths. Comparing to us the person in this vid giving compression is too slow and not digging deep enough. Thats just our standards here in California, i'm a paramedic firefighter captain.
NamesEdward 8 months ago
@NamesEdward I'm an instructor for The American Red Cross (CPR, 1st Aid, AED), and that's the cycle we teach. We also teach you to sweep the mouth before trying rescue breathing (in case something is lodged in the throat that you can't see). Still, they did an amazing job. AEDs have increased the survival rate dramatically. They're great. I really push for those in the workplace, and it's a snap to learn to use it. Hardest thing about an AED is remembering to turn it on.
marianware 8 months ago
@marianware its better not to sweep the mouth without knowing there is an object in there because blind sweeping in most cases just pushes the object further down rather than successfully removing it
ownage1894 8 months ago
@marianware strange how different places do it differently.....I am from St John Ambulance in the UK and we only look into the mouth, plus we do 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths. we do it at a rate of 100-120 beats per minute. if they have been dragged from water as in this case then you do 5 breths before you start 30 compressions:2 breaths.
WhitakerSJA 7 months ago
@NamesEdward you do the same as us here in the UK! only if they have been dragged from water then we do 5 breaths then go into CPR at a ratio of 30:2 at 100-120 bpm. been busy recently brother?

dtpark1213 4 months ago
@fairhillnoire, it took them a whole minute after not detecting a pulse to decide to start chest compressions! That's not best practice at all. However, time to defibrillation was excellent which is why the outcome was good :) The machine also I think gave kind strang instructions. Its generally advised that after delivering a shock you resume chest compressions immediately, without stopping to look for a pulse or heart rhythm - as each second without compressions blood pressure is dropping.

this looked pretty real up the the cpr point
Cpr is not suppose to be preformed like that.
They are pressing down too gently
If it was a real life a death situation with a real human being in need of cpr.... the force of the chest/ heart thrusts would be hard enough to break a rib.
The force these guys used was not even enough to break a straw.

bestcover 9 months ago
@bestcover how can he say that.....because he is right. take this from a British Medic........the breaking of a rib/sternum during CPR is a good thing except in the elderly. less resistance to the compressions means that they are more effective. @peterchao221 is right....these compressions are not hard enough, quick enough or at the right ratio to breaths. you should be quiet not him

@Shaftsus why you telling him to fuck off? he know what he is talking about.....i am a medic in the UK and he is right....the standard of this CPR is low. A break of the sternum/ribs during CPR is actually a good thing. MEans that there is less resistance to the compression making them more effective. the only time it is bad is in elderly people. if their ribs break you get a chest cavity collapse and you cant do a thing....they die.
