Incidentally, they usually tell you to check the carotid first, b/c if there's not carotid pulse there isn't going to be any other pulses either.
That's what I was taught, by a doctor of medicine. In paramedic school, they teach you all the pulse pressures of all the different pulse points. It's long and involved, and I had a hard time remembering it until Dr. Cook explained it to us one night.
He was better at explaining it than the person who taught us.
@wasssuppp08 You have to pay harder attention to it, but you can feel it. You also have to press a little harder. If they're unconscious it's not going to bother them to press just a LITTLE harder.
Shit in the 6th grade and knows CPR i'm the 10th grade and i donno how to do it and then he thinks he could have done more jheez boy give yourself a brake
LMAO. *Sees other teachers giving CPR to the teacher* "IS HE BREATHING"? Obviously he isnt breathing if he is getting Mouth to mouth. and He has that thing in his chest now to help his heart? FUCKING IRON MAN :D
@wasssuppp08: yes, you can feel the pulse. The latex glove (or the substitutes they use more commonly now, since latex allergies are on the rise) is very thin. The pulse pushes or vibrates on the fingertips, and I haven't noticed a difference in being able to find a weak pulse gloved or ungloved. It's mostly a matter of experience and training.
@wasssuppp08 I am an Emergency Medical Technician in North Texas and I assure that yes you can feel a pulse through gloves. When I teach, personal protective equipment (PPE) is the very first point I go over. I have never done CPR without my gloves.
My sister walked into the bathroom on the third day of school two years ago... I watched her walk in, but never saw her walk out. She was born with one of the top 5 worst hearts in the state. She had an arrhythmia, and just died on the spot. It was just like this, but with a sadder ending. I don't think I'll ever get over the fact that I saw her seconds before she died, and I never was able to hug her one last time, or even say goodbye.
I think it goes to show you that even small things like taking CPR classes, even if you think you may never ever have to use the knowledge, can actually save someone's life.
@wasssuppp08 absolutely yes. all EMTs and paramedics utilize gloves in order to protect themselves from a patient's bodily substances, and feeling a pulse through gloves is not a problem at all.
It's great when situations like ths have happy endings. Though sometimes it's not always like that. Just a couple of years ago, I found out that an English teacher from my old high school had died from a bad heart. Which made me feel sad, because he was the kind of teacher who never got mad at anyone and always made class fun to be in, and he happened to be my favourite teacher. R.I.P Mr. R, who'll always be in my thoughts.
@SerialJusticeAvenger he must be a joker if alot of the students thought he was joking around. Luckily, one kid new he was in serious trouble right away and jumped into action
they didn't have phones in their rooms? they could have rung into the office to have the office people call for help instead of the kids running to the office
I taught my little sister and her friends to do CPR after an episode of CSI we knew it was 2 breaths 30 compressions 100 per min. Then the next day we asked our local FD if we could have a tour and they let us practice on the CPR dummy. That kid did a great job.
My sister remembers an episode where a little boy chokes on a vegetable of some kind. She thinks that it was corn and I seem to remember it as well because after that episode my one younger didn't eat corn for a very long time. Was there an episode like this? And if so what was it called?
Yes, there is a corn choke segment. I don't know the official title, but basckit13 has it uploaded under the (incorrectly spelled) title "CORN CHOCKE KID".
@allgood2000 Not sure that was it - I remember a woman, and I remember her being fairly tall in my opinion at the time and she just straight out collapsed.
The only one I can think of with a tall woman collapsing is "Fancy Dancer". In that one, a woman had a sudden death heart attack after dancing with friends in a ballroom.
The only other one that comes to mind where a woman suddenly collapses is "911 Pregnant Tumbler", where a pregnant mom with a heart condition passes out while walking up the stairs. Another uploader posted that one under the title "RESCUE 911 MOM FALLS DOWN STAR'S"
Almost all of the cardiac procedures they do in 911 videos are no longer in practice, meaning they don't do stacked shocks anymore and they do CPR different from how they did it less than 5 years ago.
They only recently-very recently-stopped doing stacked shocks.
ok i listened 3 times, but how could a 40 year old have been a teacher for 18 years???? Seriously who becomes a teacher at 12 lol :) Can anyone shed some light?
4 years ago one of my teacherera had heart attack too. Unfortunately we had a complet power breakdown in school, so while I made CPR together with a friend, while someone elese ran to the nearest police station (just 300 meters away from school).
Since then we got an organized emergency-team at school, with 9 members.
Every time I see this episode because about a month ago I had to do the same exact thing with my teacher! She had a severe allergic reaction to shrimp she ate at lunch and ended up having a heart attack! I am addicted to Rescue 911 and I watched how to do CPR and I did it on her! I saved her life!
Way to go Ladibug0123! Alot of people have food allergies and I have heard of people having reactions to seafood! I always appreciated all the first aid stuff I learned in boy scouts and like you am addicted to Rescue 911. Before Rescue 911, I liked Emergency(Roy Desoto & John Gauge). I hope your teacher thanked you & gave you a big hug!
All people should be trained in CPR. If everyone was knowledgeable and given CPR to people who need it then we'll probably be saving a lot of lives right now
Dear allgood2000, here are the following episodes I'd like you or BeatleMoe to upload: Remarriage Rescue, Annie Fannie Dog Hero (the episode where the puppy falls into a storm drain), Pug Sewer Save, Lady's Not A Tramp, Jagged Edge Rescue, 911 Glass Cut Teen, and 911 Gotta Get To School.
Just think of what he had to go through just to be able to do CPR, you have al the kids screaming and crying in the backround plus he was scared and crying himslef bet he was able to pull it toghter and save a life...Very well done
This furthur proves that it is benefitial to know CPR. If any of you do not have a basic understanding of First Aid, please consider taking a First Aid course ASAP, so that you can help in saving a life if the time comes.
i think grade 6 students and grade 10 students should be tought CPR. it could save a life. and that guy looked like my old princible but i'm going to grade 10 now so thats a long time ago..............
A couple years ago I was in 4th grade and we were comng in from reces. I was the first in line. I couldn't find my teacher anywhere and then I looked on the ground and he looked exactaly like this guy here. I was the only one that could help. I also yelled at the other kids to shut up and go get other teachers. I am in 6th grade now though. I saw this and almost cried!
@Ladibug0123 well how brave of you to take control of the situation and you followed your guy I could never be brace like you you are a true hero and you followed your gut good for you
Spike354: Ive also known how to do CRP since age of 4, and when I turned 8 years old I learned how to do CPR on baby - it is really important to know I think!
the kid kept oxygen flowing through him until the paramedics arrived, had the child not done cpr instantly and constantly.. its almost certain that the electrical shocks would have been unsuccessful.
I am so proud of that kid!! About a month after i first watched this, i had to do 2 sets of back slaps on my own father because he choked on a pill! But it came out after the second cycle and he was perfectly fine!!!
Its amusing how the CPR rations have changed...watching them do the compressions slowly...when today we do them around 100 per min. Good thing the kid knew what he was doing.
cpr cannot restart the heart. The pumping continues to circulate the blood and helps to stop the brain from shutting down. Only a defibulator unit can restart the heart.
The kid save his life because when he fell if the boy just left him he would die because it was to long, and i trust the boy to save someones life when he is older and going to be a paramedic.... well done x
maggielovesgod2, as an EMS worker and firefighter, I have to agree with BeachBunny13. Considering the EARLY ACCESS of the CPR by the student, regardless of the quality, had he not acted the way he did, the outcome for the patient could have been totally different and fatal.
I used to teach 3rd grade and knocked myself unconscious when I slipped on some fluid that leaked out from the air conditioner. Apparently the kids ran out to get help for me. I don't teach anymore, but I'll never underestimate kids again.
the vid was in 1993. they did CPR with 2 rescue breaths, and 5 compressions. its 2009 now, im a newly qualified Lifeguard and we are tought to do CPR with 2 rescue breaths and 30 compressions (instead of 5).
Actually the kid did a great job. You do CPR because it keeps the blood circulating which give the victims a higher survival rate. The paddles are what starts the heart again. And the first few minutes are crucial. That kid did save his life by jumping to action so quickly. If he hadn't, it might have been too late.
so agree my mom is a nurse at the princess royol in telford shes has tought us all how to do cpr that lad was very brave a lucky to have parents that tought him those things he did save his life like you did say brave lad aint her
if it's a V-fib caused by a heart atack,the heart it's still working,but it is not effective (it's fibrillating) and the blood is not moving so the brain has no air (we usually have 4 to 6 minutes in this situation,after that the survival rate is not so high),so we use the paddles to makes the heart stop, and it's supposed to start again alone.If this not happens, the pacient need drugs for making it start again.The kid saved him life by making the blood flow the time the paramedics were coming.
In cardiac emergencies you have to respond within the first few minutes, b/c the time span for successful recovery is 8 min. There's a golden hour for other traumas, but cardiac emergencies need response within 8 minutes.
CPR gives 20% circulation, which is enough until medics arrive.
I know b/c I'm a paramedic and cardiology is my chosen area of expertise. I'm also an EKG technician and have been an EMT-D [D for defibrillation].
He reacted, tried to do CPR and got help with the other kids. Of course he's not a medical professional, but he deserves recognition for helping his teacher get medical help. Those kids did a great job!
First off the kid DID save his teachers life. If CPR isn't administered withing the first 4 to 6 minutes then usually there will be brain damage due to lack of oxygen. CPR keeps the heart pumping blood and the breaths give oxygen to the body. So think before you speak especially if you don't know what you are talking about.
The point of cpr isn't just to get the heart to start pumping again. It's also a manual heart pump. In other words it keeps the person alive long enough until emts get there and can use their equipment. So in a way he did save his life...
I remember when this happened since it was in a school district near my own. They had a big article in the paper about it. That student went above and beyond in helping his teacher! (I remember many kids who would sooner jeer at a teacher than try to help.) Thank you so much for posting these up. I really wish this show was still on the air.
I love happy endings. I have enough of tragedies! This boy is absolutely incredible! And the best thing, the teacher whose life the boy saved, is so grateful and happy to be well again and to be back with his beloved students. It brought tears to my eyes....
I agree. First aid should be taught in school. Super basic first aid in Elementary school, first aid and CPR in JHS, and more advanced first aid and CPR in SHS. Should be a part of PE or something.
i know our highschool did it.....taught CPR....it was in health, which was a mandatory class. I graduated from DCHS in 2007. I'm now in my 2nd year of College, training to become a Nurse. My Dad has been a Registered Nurse for 33 years. I'm a Certified Nurses Assitant. I have to renew my CPR license this summer of June 2009.
I decided to be a Paramedic after something similar happened to me. Instead of a teacher, it was my youngest sister who had the life-threatening emergency.
I never wanted to feel as helpless as felt that day, and I liked the way the EMTs calmed our fears.
I wanted to do that for other families, so I became a Paramedic.
Incidentally, they usually tell you to check the carotid first, b/c if there's not carotid pulse there isn't going to be any other pulses either.
That's what I was taught, by a doctor of medicine. In paramedic school, they teach you all the pulse pressures of all the different pulse points. It's long and involved, and I had a hard time remembering it until Dr. Cook explained it to us one night.

You don't "round down" just because the teacher says so... If the last number is 1-4, you round DOWN. If the last number is 5-9, you round UP.
Therefore, 495 is correctly rounded up to 500, not rounded down to 490 like he said in the re-enactment...

I couldn't find my teacher anywhere and then I looked on the ground and he looked exactaly like this guy here. I was the only one that could help. I also yelled at the other kids to shut up and go get other teachers. I am in 6th grade now though. I saw this and almost cried!

Spike354: Ive also known how to do CRP since age of 4, and when I turned 8 years old I learned how to do CPR on baby - it is really important to know I think!

the kid kept oxygen flowing through him until the paramedics arrived, had the child not done cpr instantly and constantly.. its almost certain that the electrical shocks would have been unsuccessful.

I am so proud of that kid!! About a month after i first watched this, i had to do 2 sets of back slaps on my own father because he choked on a pill! But it came out after the second cycle and he was perfectly fine!!!

Its amusing how the CPR rations have changed...watching them do the compressions slowly...when today we do them around 100 per min. Good thing the kid knew what he was doing.

cpr cannot restart the heart. The pumping continues to circulate the blood and helps to stop the brain from shutting down. Only a defibulator unit can restart the heart.

The kid save his life because when he fell if the boy just left him he would die because it was to long, and i trust the boy to save someones life when he is older and going to be a paramedic.... well done x

pizzalover85 2 years ago
maggielovesgod2, as an EMS worker and firefighter, I have to agree with BeachBunny13. Considering the EARLY ACCESS of the CPR by the student, regardless of the quality, had he not acted the way he did, the outcome for the patient could have been totally different and fatal.

I learned CPR before becasue I'm lifeguard......but in a real situation, performing CPR is different from practices.

I used to teach 3rd grade and knocked myself unconscious when I slipped on some fluid that leaked out from the air conditioner. Apparently the kids ran out to get help for me. I don't teach anymore, but I'll never underestimate kids again.

the vid was in 1993. they did CPR with 2 rescue breaths, and 5 compressions. its 2009 now, im a newly qualified Lifeguard and we are tought to do CPR with 2 rescue breaths and 30 compressions (instead of 5).

what did the kid do? No offense but the adults saved his life. His heart wasnt at all beating after the kid stopped.
This is only a big story because the kid did cpr.
BTW: again no offense not trying to be mean
maggielovesgod2 3 years ago
Actually the kid did a great job. You do CPR because it keeps the blood circulating which give the victims a higher survival rate. The paddles are what starts the heart again. And the first few minutes are crucial. That kid did save his life by jumping to action so quickly. If he hadn't, it might have been too late.

thanks for explaining that. I had NO IDEA. I thought he did nothing. My mistake.
sorry again

colaroberts1985 2 years ago
if it's a V-fib caused by a heart atack,the heart it's still working,but it is not effective (it's fibrillating) and the blood is not moving so the brain has no air (we usually have 4 to 6 minutes in this situation,after that the survival rate is not so high),so we use the paddles to makes the heart stop, and it's supposed to start again alone.If this not happens, the pacient need drugs for making it start again.The kid saved him life by making the blood flow the time the paramedics were coming.

In cardiac emergencies you have to respond within the first few minutes, b/c the time span for successful recovery is 8 min. There's a golden hour for other traumas, but cardiac emergencies need response within 8 minutes.
CPR gives 20% circulation, which is enough until medics arrive.
I know b/c I'm a paramedic and cardiology is my chosen area of expertise. I'm also an EKG technician and have been an EMT-D [D for defibrillation].

He reacted, tried to do CPR and got help with the other kids. Of course he's not a medical professional, but he deserves recognition for helping his teacher get medical help. Those kids did a great job!
NUlatino203 2 years ago
First off the kid DID save his teachers life. If CPR isn't administered withing the first 4 to 6 minutes then usually there will be brain damage due to lack of oxygen. CPR keeps the heart pumping blood and the breaths give oxygen to the body. So think before you speak especially if you don't know what you are talking about.

The point of cpr isn't just to get the heart to start pumping again. It's also a manual heart pump. In other words it keeps the person alive long enough until emts get there and can use their equipment. So in a way he did save his life...

jamin108 2 years ago
I remember when this happened since it was in a school district near my own. They had a big article in the paper about it. That student went above and beyond in helping his teacher! (I remember many kids who would sooner jeer at a teacher than try to help.) Thank you so much for posting these up. I really wish this show was still on the air.

I love happy endings. I have enough of tragedies! This boy is absolutely incredible! And the best thing, the teacher whose life the boy saved, is so grateful and happy to be well again and to be back with his beloved students. It brought tears to my eyes....

rlly thats an awesome skill to know... ive known since about 10. All students and workers should be rewuired to take basic CPR class

I agree. First aid should be taught in school. Super basic first aid in Elementary school, first aid and CPR in JHS, and more advanced first aid and CPR in SHS. Should be a part of PE or something.

i know our highschool did it.....taught CPR....it was in health, which was a mandatory class. I graduated from DCHS in 2007. I'm now in my 2nd year of College, training to become a Nurse. My Dad has been a Registered Nurse for 33 years. I'm a Certified Nurses Assitant. I have to renew my CPR license this summer of June 2009.

I decided to be a Paramedic after something similar happened to me. Instead of a teacher, it was my youngest sister who had the life-threatening emergency.
I never wanted to feel as helpless as felt that day, and I liked the way the EMTs calmed our fears.
I wanted to do that for other families, so I became a Paramedic.
