  • As vinnie says, push hard and fast on the sovereign ;)

  • This is real footage. The agonal respiration is obviously NOT fake.

  • that was some lame cpr... but at least it worked if that was real

  • I just think "Ha, Ha, ha ,ha, stayin' alive, Stayin' alive"

  • Wow amazing major props!!!

  • @ApplesAlmighty  hate to say it but you were not there were you? Fake if you ask me

  • @brendanbutterworth its real mate its a tv program called bondi rescue u should watch it pretty good :)

  • @ViiT4LG4MiiNG Ok, I thought it was fake and acted.  Not seen it on uk tv. Can you watch it on the web anywhere?

  • Wow if this is real then that's pretty amazing

  • The mixture of decerebrate and decorticate posturing (hand/arm movements) indicate that this boy was suffering from possible brain injury or intracranial pressure. The mouth/tongue movements that made this boy seem to be breathing are agonal gasps, not breathing. They can happen even after the heart has stopped beating, it is a miracle this boy survived, kudos Bondi Lifeguards!

  • 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!

  • i have done it many times. i can assure u it is real

  • he isnt doing CPR well. you are supposed to push fast and deep

  • @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.

  • @CountryDirtRoads alot faster*

  • @fastbreakr approximately a rate of 100 compression per minute and 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep for an adult.

  • @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?

  • @fastbreakr This was a couple of years ago. the rules has been changes sinds then. bud it hase worked, didn't it.

  • Brilliant

  • This is obviously a fake.

  • @brendanbutterworth Hate to say it, but its actually real

  • 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

  • @BlackMistProduction To be fair that's  just one beach. Not all lifeguards are like that. Some would risk their lives to save someone.

  • 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 as soon as the defribillator arrives you should use it because the chances of survival are better with it than just CPR :)

  • @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??

  • That's amazing!!

  • Excellent well done lads Good Days Work.

  • Why does everyone feel the need to stand in a huge circle around someone when they're dying?

  • where did the get the mask ??

  • @Bigg130 I would rather have my rib broken and still be alive. Wouldn't you?

  • Do medical equipment, not military

  • Great work Bondi.

  • why didn't they remove the metal jewelry? he had a necklace on.

  • @chattychar Win

    

  • @chattychar The electricity passes between the pads. So it isn't a main concern to remove the jewelry.

  • imagine how scared he would have been when he regained consciousness!

  • you think that is something check out this vid. copy and paste 

    海で溺れた女性を見物人が蘇生 グロ注意

  • Cpr usually breaks your ribs in half :/

  • @bigg130 What would you prefer? A couple of broken ribs or death? Jussayin...

  • I don't understand something. It seems that he was consicious before the first shock. It is real or not? Can you be awake if you have not pulse?

  • @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

  • YEAH Australian Lifeguards! Job well done.

  • good work? more than good work! AMAZING work!

  • omg look at the lifegards

  • 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.

  • amazingly good work by the lifeguards. this video got me crying, I've been in sydney and bondi. but however; I life far away from there :)

  • That was breathtaking to see him come back to life! Thanks for keeping the beaches safe down under!

  • Cant with words describe how much respect I have for these guys. To matter this much is really something special.

  • amazing

  • youtube: CPR (Black Family Reunion 2011)

  • Comment removed

  • They saved his life. Great job!

  • this video made me cry :'(

  • does anyone know if takahiro suffered any spinal injury or brain damage from lack of oxygen?

  • @ilovenick1234567890 He was perfectly ok, he came back and gave them a bottle of wine, if i remember the episode correctly.

  • 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.

    As they say in Australia: Top Blokes.

  • 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.

  • Good thing it was not a female photo shoot or this bloke would be a gonner.

  • @flylikeIdo1

    That's a bit sexist? Women make just as good lifeguards as men.

    You wouldn't be saying that if they saved your life one day.

  • Lol "Photoshoot"..... Coz they are all hot!!! xD

  • this video.. is really great.

    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!

  • @ice678

    Did you get caught in a rip tide?

  • @CodyJaneKoala

    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

  • @ice678

    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.

  • @CodyJaneKoala

    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.)

  • @grandpiano11 Thanks for answering my question!! I appreciate it!

  • 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.

  • learnt alot

  • 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

  • hi every one i am taka i recovered and am doing well just wanted to update all of the viewers

  • @slyrader1 no ur dickhead with a cat

  • @piggemz god give me a break

  • wow cpr then really wasn't too efficent

  • This is humanity at it's best.... Wars are humanity at it's worst

  • this is probably the best save ive seen them do Takahiro is one lucky person

  • Just because he had no pulse, doesn't mean he was dead. But a few more minutes and he really would be dead: Lack of oxygen would kill his brain.

  • @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.

  • Ask that boy how heaven/hell looks like.....?

  • *clapping* GOOD JOB ! ! ! : D

  • not out of danger yet..END

  • And some random stranger come by n shot him END :P

  • again what is wrong with those asian ? if u can't swim don't go to the water.

  • 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.

  • that's one of the most incredible things i've seen in my 21 years.

  • thats absolutely incredible

  • 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.

    my comments are just for the 2011 standards of ems

  • @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

  • @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.

  • wow.....great job! Makes me apriciate life even more!

  • @Shggy2dopalas you should know it was only 80 bpm back then. We now know it was way too slow.

  • @ianfilz No pulse checks for lay persons!

  • Wow! Would this person actually know he is on youtube?

  • 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.

  • I'm CPR level c I have my sfa and aed provider on my way to lifegaurd

  • great job fellas

  • 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 am glad you said that because i was wondering why he was moving

    

  • @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

  • Like for having to watch this video for bronze medallion

  • @Den26juli spasm

  • They did a great job!

    But how is the almost dead persons mouth moves? :o

  • how is it that some of the bystanders are able to smile?

  • @thecomfortisnow go fuck yourself you little teat people like you should be imprisoned

  • :) 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.....

  • that kid is a good actor.

  • 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?

  • I'm starting Surf Lifesaving this year, Proud to be.

  • sitf =[

  • Im a lifeguard and the feeling you feel when you save someones life is so hysteria!!!

  • Don't forget this was shot in 2007; that means old standards.

  • some how they can do what God want

  • this is frightening video.

  • 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

  • how weird is it for this kid to watch this video?

  • @Djalohr it is weird. I AM A KID

  • @alexandrooona13579 I think he was talking about the kid who had almost drowned...

  • @Djalohr Not at all weird. I think anyone of any age should watch this and see how real CPR is performed.

  • @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...

  • The standard of this CPR is very low!

  • @CeeWal are they not properly trained?? ta

  • Yes, this man is clinically dead, but there's a difference between clinical and biological death.

  • Question, how is this person dead if he is moving even before they use the defiblirator on him?

  • @MtaBus5102 Answer, he's not moving before they use the AED.

  • @wwil1231 trust me he is dead. i am lifeguard. That was typical "moves". Good work.It's pretty nice to save someone's life. Trust me

  • how can you dislike this ? i am training to be a lifeguard do you know how hard that is?

  • Being a lifeguard the craziest thing I saw was a 7 year old having a seizure in the water with his face extremely blue

  • I don't think he was dead. It looked like his mouth, arms, and body were moving.

  • @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.

  • @wwil1231 agonal breathing, his diaphragm was still contracting but when your heart isnt beating and youre not breathing you are clinically dead.

  • i'm a lifeguard too. This lifeguards are really good people. it's an hard work!

  • Great job. I'm gonna start my lifeguarding job tomorrow. This is my third year and so far nothing major happen, thank god. Wish me luck =]

  • Nice job guys. ARC Lifeguard, firefighter, and EMT here.

  • this was what I watched at my First Aid course. Thank god I can do CPR now!

  • amazing!!!!!

  • amazing!!!!!

  • this is what i want to do! im training for an emt....good work boys!

  • 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.

  • @peterchao221 how can you say that? they saved his life. Unless you are a doctor you can't say your opinion... Talk about facts.

  • @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

  • @peterchao221 yeah shush up, if they tried to resuscitate too hard they could break his sternum or cause him internal damage.

  • @Shaftsus you are an idiot

  • @peterchao221 fuck off! You ever taken a CPR class!?? These guys are experts in it and would school you in a CPR showdown if here was such a thing...

  • @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
