WOW. So, they gave you Fentanyl, and Versed. What were the doses? GREAT TROOPER. YOU DID GREAT. So impressed. I know IT HURTS MORE THAN HURT CAN HURT.
@dreamsofmylove Honestly, I really don't remember everything because of the drugs they gave me to help me forget, but I do remember remembering the pain, sort of like a dream, and I remember the "shock" was like being hit in the chest really hard and hurt pretty bad...does that make sense? Again, they gave me meds to help me forget the pain because of how traumatic it could be.
@WillExposeYou My (now ex) wife at the time recorded it for me. It helped that I was being funny and keeping everyone laughing. That's how I am though.
Awh,he's so cute and funny!XD "I'm not clear!!!"(-I hope his mind really wasn't clear while this happened,because that means she was sedated enough...) Then:"More drugs please!!" :D
@L33tr30w - Thanks! I'm fine now and refuse to have the Ablasion. I'm now on a daily medicine regimen that has prevented A-fib incidents for over 2 years now.
Damn, brings back memories. I had a sudden cardiac arrest in February and once I was brought up they had to shock me 72 times. Before they put me under I felt the first 20 or so shocks. It was the old school paddles too. I could hear them say, ok, 300 joules and "clear" and bam! Hurt like hell. Like you say in there, like I got hit by a train.
@AIRXscapeMusic it is absolutely true. I have a picture my wife took from the notes the paramedics took. It is also documented in my official medical record. This was over a period of about 3 hours. I kept going into v-fib. Amio was the final thing that kept me stable. I was in a coma for 2 days after.
I've been in the situation where sometimes a huge amount of sedation just wont fully sedate someone and over sedating will cause more problems than the cardioversion itself. And we are only seeing a snippet of this guys experience, the doctors and nurses have probably built a rapport with this patient and so the laughter would have been built over knowing the patient. The comments from the EMT-B's in this thread are sad and reflects perhaps lack of knowledge or willingness to learn on their part
@MOI1234 actually they don't. with meds not working and risk of blood clots forming increasing every minute they did the right thing. Maybe you should go to med school before you comment...I'm just sayin...
@MOI1234 Well, I don't actually remember this happening. They sedated me enough and I don't remember it, so they did it right, I just don't completely go out when sedated. They gave me three times the normal dose for sedation and I was still responsive...
I just added annotations (recently found out I can do that). They may not be pretty, but now you can actually know what I'm saying in the ER that's making everyone laugh. Hopefully it makes you laugh...I'm the one in the bed, and I even laugh everytime I watch this vid!
I already know about manual and syncronised cardioversions. We have the life manuals on our units and I already know that u can cardio vert with manuals on a-fib. But I dnt know about you but I didn't see any manual paddles on his chest. Did u c any 1 put the green stuff on it apply to his chest, apply 25 lbs of pressure, a quarter turn and shock? I didn't. But either way it was funny.
But I will say it's a good vid. "I'm not clear". Lol hillarious. My emt instructor said that they were a bout to shock on a call one time in the back of an ambulance and they hit a bump and he fell on the patient as they were shocking. That must hurt like a bitch.
I already know about the clots and what not. But it is against protacol to shock in A-Fib. It won't happen. It won't do a thing. It's like shocking a flat line. It won't help
Ok...it's not procedure for an EMT to do it because it's a delicate procedure. Only a Cardiologist can perform an electro-cardioversion to correct a-fib if medicine wont work. Seriously, you aren't a doctor. Look up electro-cardioversion or talk to a cardiologist. Meds ARE the preferred method, but electro-cardioversions are necessary if the patient doesn't convert within 72 hours.
@TheDominoose I know this is late, but you have to remember, these are probably EMT-basics who don't know better or Paramedics where the protocols are very limited. In our books, Diltiazem is indicated for new onset of A-Fib. Shocking IS effective but almost always saved as last resort type thing, and no, it can't be done in the field normally, not unless it's life-threatening. Even then, most medics won't do it, because its huge liability. and lots of work. haha!
@djtrix003 That is very true...PLUS...A-fib in and of itself is NOT life threatening...it is almost ALWAYS done in the ER and completed by a cardiologist. The results AFTER the cardio-version can be dangerous, but that's why they give you blood thinners and watch you carefully for blood clots to cause strokes or DVT.
@EMSstation4 Indeed, he is correct. Electro-cardioversion is used to correct a irregular heart-rythme or heart-rate, after injections of a heart-restrarting chemical fails. He should of technically been unconcious but the Doctors and nurses weigh up the risks and benefits, and probably did not want risking other complications relating from the medication/drugs.

Sorry dude but u r such a liar. I work with a rescue squad as an EMT. Iv ran many calls for A-fib. Defbrilation won't help a-fib. Only meds. The only time u defib is in ventricular fibrilation. (botten half of heart). In fact if a Patient is in a-fib and u hook them on an AED it will NOT give a "SHOCK ADVISED".
Ok...first off, they did not use an aed to defrib me. Second off, i'm not lying, i've been shock back into rhythn 3 times now. The meds normally work for most people with time, however, my last three incidents, meds have not worked and they were forced to shock me back into rhythm to prevent blood clots from forming in the atrium (top part) which could possibly cause stroke or dvt. Look it up EMT.
I highly doubt your qualification as an EMT. There is such a thing as a MANUAL defibrillator and is an important tool in ALS, which you are not qualified to preform. This is what is used to cardiovert a patient when medicinal cardioversion is unsuccessful. An AED will not administer a shock for A- fib because AED's are currently only able to recognize two arrhythmias. The reason AED's do not shock A-fib is because it is not a deadly rhythm, so immediate medical intervention is not necessary.
EMSstation4- "I work with a rescue squad as an EMT". . . F****** stupid EMT!!! You get a few hours, not even, of lecture on heart rhythms and you think you know more than a cardiologist or paramedic. . . People get cardioverted from a-fib every day!!! some hospitals use cardioversion before medications if the onset was less than 48 hours. . . . this is because a synchronized cardioversion is much safer than converting with drugs if you dont have to worry about clots (<48 hours).
First off not that funny. Looks like somebody might have over-tweeked themselves. If such great measures were necessary to help you, then that must mean the situation was serious, so tell me this, why is that ignoramous in the background giggling it up like a schoolgirl. This video looks to me like some loser overdosed on some drugs and threw his heart off. Again, not funny, more sad than anything else.
Ok...it's funny because of how drugged up they made me and what i say. The condition a-fib is not that serious in and of itself, but it can causw other more serious problems if not converted back into normal rhythm. Listen carfully to what i say in the video. Everyone says clear thinking i'm under, and i say i'm not clear. i don't remember it, but it was funny after watching the video.
HAHAHA!!!!! I'm not clear.. I felt that one... poor guy!
