young teenage male in cardiac arrest

[maxconti80]

[continue]

3) So he takes an orange pipe, longer than the previous one, and put it in his mouth without any effort and avoiding the suggested maneuver for the insertion. Unfortunately we can't see the real length of this pipe

4) The third paramedic is compressing the chest but the ECG monitor in the background doesn't show any compression as it should. Very very strange. And why the patient has just the ecg small pads and no defibrillation pads?

So many questions...

Fake or very bad paramedics!

[maxconti80]

Few facts about this fake video:

1) When the video starts, the paramedic are finishing the intubation. Strangely I cannot see any laryngoscope.

2) The patient already has an IV access that, according to any procedure, always comes after the airway management. Anyway, despite of the IV access, he has nothing running through it. No medicines nor liquids. Quite weird.

3) The male paramedic tries to insert a yellow Guedel pipe but he can't because of its length. [to be continued...]

[nephoraful]

probably faked guys. those are soft compressions and badly done.

[gezzurhh]

did he survive?

[weatherfreak123]

Stop Fliming Him And Walk Away

[pumpchest]

i wanna ask u...

what he is died ?

and who is he ?

[SouliaBoy]

those are compressions? really?

[tierlieb]

@SouliaBoy

i´m wondering too

[fonsecafh]

...do a better compression...this way is very poor!!!!!

[bloodyduttmilk]

hipaa?

[vhluke]

piss poor effort on the compressions, should be approx 1/3 chest depth and faster. Having said that they are trying to revive someone from trauma arrest who is in asytole, pretty much some of the hardest conditions to recover from.

[Stugio]

HIPPA Oo

[Akshayphadke]

he prolly saw something paranormal

[shutupjonae69]

Did he survive ):

[OMGitzBruce]

thats how my friend died

[sora412zx]

i had readed a magazine at denmark (I live in denmark) that someone had used CPR on a 17 year old!

[Jimthemedic]

The OPA prevents that the teeth damage the ET tube.

[andrewshka]

here's my question: if the pt is already intubated, why is the medic in the front trying to size him for an opa?

[TheIrishbassist]

Can anyone say patient privacy act?

[westangle]

i hope he's okay right now. even thou this vid is last year

[TheLostintranslation]

@saide09, I'm a former paramedic and a vascular nurse and just to correct your misinformation, if a patient has a pulse less than 40 and is unconscious CPR is indicated! Pea or pulseless electrical activity ever at an electrical rate of 60 to 100 defib, precordial thump and CPR is indicated! Tools like you cost lives with misinformation to the general public! Hope you have a incident where someone who takes your word steps over you thinking they'll do harm and you meet your maker

[Ligierthegreensun]

@TheLostintranslation If you're a former paramedic then you should know spreading misinformation like the idea that all treatments are the same is ridiculous. People go by their PROTOCOLS. Stop telling people what is and isn't indicated. Also, I'm reading the AHA guidelines right now and it says that defibrillation IS NOT indicated for asystole or PEA. But hey, you must know more than doctors.

[kalkoenietje]

@Ligierthegreensun

You're absolutely right! I hate it when so called professionals tell the big truth whilst being completely wrong themselves... Besides, Lostintranslation, i don't think people walk around with defibrillators in their pockets, so no harm will be done there...

[mendonfire11981]

@TheLostintranslation Precordial thump!!! just for mentioning that I'm guessing you watch too much tv or received sub-par paramedic training...and IF you're a "vascular" nurse I'm wondering what they would say at the hospital if you told them that they should add a precordial thump to their Rapid Response Protocols. Seriously, precordial thump? I can't believe as a medical professional who wants to be taken seriously you would mention that as an option.

[JustaWyomingGirl]

@mendonfire11981 I know, right?!? Isn't the precordial thump stone age?!?

[luricious]

@mendonfire11981

Agreed. Looks as if someone needs to read up on current ACLS guidelines...

[refrath]

It must be a exercise,otherwise the Paramedic would kick the Camera man's ass

[yellowwitch1]

this looks more like an exercise...

[OggieBoogie1718]

Damn! He looks so young. I doubt he survived, looks like asystole on the monitor and he looks really pale, So sad )=

[AndyRSC]

@OggieBoogie1718 It's a fake video, nitwit. The very fact that there is a perfect asystole with so many people pawing at him and doing fake compressions should suggest this.

[Xjreme18]

Poor guy..

:l

[marahanah]

wonder if he survived

[KJT922010T]

@marahanah I doubt it, looks like my dad did when his heart stoped and my dad didn't make it

[sky9878]

saide09 CPR does nothing for the electrical impule, a shock box will.

[hamlinfan07]

Poor kid! I hope his assailants were brought to justice and doing serious time!

[thefactorycat]

Salde. Your comments are completely wrong I think you've been watching too much tv

[ourmormonmafia]

When you do CPR, you are building pressure in the chest not smashing the heart against the spine like many people think. By creating this pressure it circulates the blood. This is why the compression to ventilation rate can be as high as 30 compressions to 2 breaths when not intubated.

It is possible to die from incorrect CPR because your ribs can break so don't be doing it on someone who doesn't need it.

[saide09]

one can die if given CPR, though it is not asystole (pulseless) yet. meaning, if a person is alive, and then given CPR, he can die because first of all, the compressions have pressure, and if that pressure is strong, it can break the ribs, and puncture the lungs, which will cause atelectasis, or lung collapse. CPR is intended to somehow pump and correct the electrical impulse of the heart to pump again. epinephrine is given to bring back the heart's electrical impulses.

[bexteck]

@saide09

You have no idea what you are talking about.

[saide09]

@bexteck. de wag. kaw na nag-aral. epal ka. everyone is entitled to their own opinions. can't you at least analyze the comment and let others share their ideas based form their experiences? you're not only the one from the medical field, mister.

[Pentdad]

Is it true that you can die if somone pretends to give you compressions? Like if you were filming a movie?

[emilyzach1130]

JMM.... I would have to disagree with your %. I have worked codes before in the field and in ER setting.... That's not an accurate number at all.. The compressions were ok. lol just ok. i worked a code with a careflight (ohio, dayton) medic and it was smooth. Just like that. We run alot of codes where i work so it's sort of like the common CP call.

[JustyneVampire]

Wow I really need to learn more from u guys.

[Suki278]

Wow, those were pretty weak CPR compressions... If you're notnearly breaking ribs, you're not doing them hard enough.

[Zygrin]

This was more like for practice for ALS competition...those compressions wouldn't have any effect, the ET tube wasn't tied.

[kodythepimp01]

@Zygrin the last thing the guy closest to the camera was doing was tieing the tube down!

[jazzam2007]

@Zygrin i wouldnt even call that CPR, if that was a real case, that should be up for review!

[wormwoodvids]

Compressions are sub par, looks like they are hyperventilating the patient at first... no need to criticize the calmness of the crew.. that's how a code should be run. Get a few rounds of CPR in, an IV/ET tube, push epi and load on the stretcher. You got 5 minutes before you can push epi again so that's a good timeframe to get into the ambulance. If you get a workable rhythm be prepared to work that rhythm, as you might only have it for a few seconds and it's gone.

[speedy2528]

r u o doc or paramedic cause tht is like so correct i talk to a bunch of docs abd thts true

[emsblitz]

OK. Any other Paramedics out there yelling at the screen " LOAD AND GO!!!", I mean, holy shit. I am one of the calmest medics I know, but these guys are just, eh, oh well. Looks like asystole, but if he was beaten in the chest, could be tension pneumo, hemo or tampanode.

[brad342342]

No he was not breathing. The guys with the bag are breathing for him. And the chest compressions are too slow and too weak; probably were doing very little for his circulation.

[Apink420]

he was breathing...right?

[TRIXSTER03]

no he wasn't

[kiddy2012]

yea. did he survive?

[jmm121884]

99% of the time your heart stops it doesnt start.

[stefanblbl]

so fucking wrong

[marahanah]

did he survive?

[lechenamantalaga2]

the kid looks strong to me, he probably lived.

[frompdiggity]

Those compressions look weak as shit.

[ashton324]

it compressed the chest so they were ok but they cud have been abit stronger

[frompdiggity]

If you've ever seen an actual code being run, trust me.....THAT isn't it.

[ashton324]

ive done cpr before and seen the code been run yes the compressions are weak and could have been stronger

[lolwut1039]

Were they able to bring him back?

[Mr123lmJc]

did tha b@#$ surviv

[Jimthemedic]

Judging from the mechanism of injury, this victim had a blunt trauma cardiac arrest... He probably died, since pre-hospital traumatic arrests have a survival-rate of less than 2%

[amandatwilight20]

I think when He was hit, His heart was between contractionswhen ,the baseball bat hit it.its called Comotio Cordis. google it

[MrCaldwell93]

did he survive

[kiddy2012]

seriously did he?
