Woman in blue was a complete muppet, needs to go back and retake a CPR course, who the hell teaches CPR that fast, no-one in my part of south east england, surprised she was allowed near a patient, i would have move her back into the crowd when i turned up!!!
I guess they perform CPR different in the UK than they do here in the states. 30 compressions/2 breaths would have been more effective than a few compressions and assessments like those performing CPR were doing. I'm glad he pulled through...
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 and the famous Bondi one 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
The woman in the blue is going way too fast and not going with enough thrusts... They could have gotten him back a lot quicker if they had done 30 thrusts then 2 breaths... But thanks the Lord that he lived... AEDs save lives if used right with CPR!
Rescue breaths are far less important than compressions, I dont think lay persons are even taught them any more in most classes. Even trained providers would be reluctant to give breaths on a stranger with no barrier, most would probably just do compressions.
No the first person doing compressions wasnt doing them perfectly, but I have seen worse. Also, to the one asking why they didnt intubate. why would the medics delay transport intubating the pt if he is breathing and his o2 stats are ok?
Why does everyone have to be a monday morning Quarterback? Sure some things could have been done better, particularly by the first responders, but rarely do these types of things go perfectly. Many of the critiquers here would be doing things incorrectly in a real situation. Its not like doing it on a mannequin in a classroom. The outcome speaks for itself, the man lived and seems to have recovered.
Seeing these comments like what happened to 100 compressions a minute, in the UK the procedure is 30 compressions then use the BVM Resuscitator or "kiss of life" if a BVM isn't available then start 30 compressions again and keep repeating this procedure until a time comes where either the patient starts breathing, paramedics arrive or there is no hope left for the patient
God video and job. I'm an instructor of C.P.R. and DEFIBRILLATION, I'm a Nurse and an E.M.T. of Italian Rescue and Emergency Department, only a question...why they don't move away the victim from that unconfortable and insafe place...under metal arches...I suppose it was enought only 2 meters and they can work more better and confortble.
@SwingNurse here can you tell the losangelesweedsmoker (below you below you that aed's aren't designed to only give one shock ( im a lifeguard so i know but that thick won't belive me )
I got trained to only give one shock... and then give up and stick to CPR... the machine is re-programmed to ONLY deliver one shock.. then bullshit instructions, no second shock capability. Lame fucking training.
@thewastedguitarist Good god you are fucking stupid,new 2011 Red Cross standards is ONE shock to AED machines, all have been converted to only deliver ONE shock. This is what happens when people who aren't certified try to input theories vs facts.
@LosAngelesWeedSmoker i don't know where you got trained but in ireland ( btw i have distinction with the rlss ) we are trained to administer 7 shocks and cpr until the EMS arrives. in my experence i have resusitated 12 people, and 8 of them needed 2 or more shocks ( one even needed 5 ), so this 1 shock thing seems outragous to me.our aed on the beach was manufactured in augest 2011, and it is still made to adminster more than one shock. if aed's are only made to give one shock, ppl are gona die
@LosAngelesWeedSmoker you can say what you want, but facts are facts and can't be changed. if you want to insult me by saying i didn't save 12 lives so be it. i've had people die while i was doing cpr on them, inculding one of my best freinds. that tore me up badly, but i focused on the lifes i have narrowly saved. then a boy in college slagged me about it, and i broke down in front of a whole college assembly.
@limeybollocks It has changed to between 100-120bpm. The problem was that certain First Aid societies (as well as the public) were taking it too seriously and thinking that if they do 98, or 102 compressions in a minute, it won't benefit the patient. Generally, as long as you are pushing in the right place and pushing enough, you will be pumping oxygenated blood around the body - speed isn't regarded as a major factor. Too quick is better than too slow.
I got my Standard First Aid and CPR - Level HCP (healthcare provide) today. The girl who is giving chest compression is doing it WRONG! Absolutely wrong! she should be charge for doing something wrong. when you give compressions, you have to press it soo hard it has to go down 2/3 of width of body. yes its ok to break ribs while doing this. its the law. broken ribs or working heart? stupid blonde girl
@TamilEelamTigers2009 also...did you see the difference in chest compression..vs the first blonde who gave it and the paramadeic girl who gave? there are a lot of diff
I volunteer as a Community First Responder in London and have done training to respond to cardiac arrest calls - but I haven't been called to a real one yet. This video is so useful as it shows how the professionals do it in real life. It could make all the difference in my first real call. Excellent work, you guys.
@dwestlake09 It wasn't a bad representation, in fact it was a much better example than some, but you need to know not to stop compressions unless absolutely necessary. In the beginning, the lady in the blue shirt kept stopping compressions, that was incorrect. Also- huge kudos to the Police officers for helping out. Unfortunately, here in the US that is fairly rare, for some reason or another.
This shows doctors are not the only ones who save peoples lives. Lets remember that sometimes it is the paramedics or EMT who gives the individuals most chance of survival to reach the hospital. Lets thank those who are in the front line, you guys seriously save lives and are hardly thanked. You guys deserve a lot more recognition. As an ED nurse, I thank you.
@diguafuren and from us Medics to all ED staff we thank you! for you kind words and the fact that we know that once we deliver our patient to you, you will do all you can for them.
@diguafuren ED Nurses do a lot more than recognized as well. People think that they are ignoring patients or just sitting around and doing nothing but people do not realize nurses can have trauma PTs come in that are priority over let's say a back pain PT. They put up with a lot and us EMTs appreciate all they do too!
im a paramedic student being trained by a leading member of the Resuscitation Council UK, the council guidelines state that for the most effective CPR, commpression to breath ratio is to be 30:2 at a rate of 100 compressions per minute- im not sure what ratio the lady in blue is using as it doesnt appear to be this but this just goes to show that early compressions and defibrilation are the most effective way to get the greatest chance of the return of spontaneous circulation.
@carlarideout1 I'm an SJA First Aider, the latest rate of compressions is 100-120 beats per minute (In the 9th Edition Revised F.A. manual), so she must have doing two compressions per second.
I'm hopefully going to be where you are in 2 years time!
Do you mind me asking what's the hardest part about the Paramedic Science course?
the chick in the blue is doing it completely wrong wtf is this ....10 chest compressions and no rescue breaths? if the patient is not receiving rescue breaths the cpr is useless because the blood is not getting any oxygen throughout the body...im an emt
@TutorialThis Thanks you for taking the time to comment and raise awareness of the current changes in CPR standards of care. For many reason that are far too complicated to discuss on this page the new standards of CPR (as recommended by AHA and other leaders around the world) is that HARD AND FAST COMPRESSIONS on the center of the chest saves lives. Oxygen is being transported into the lungs by way of the compressing actions, and the oxygen is getting throughout the body very effectively.
@emtinthearctic Please research no ventalation CPR such as is protocol in Tucson, AZ. Amazing stuff that is being replicated in other areas of the country, in AHA standards, and in other countries. Changing what we have been taught for years will not be easy, but we owe it to our patients to change our practices as the emergency medical community changes and improves.
@TutorialThis Compressions are the most important part of CPR. If the down time is short, the pt's blood will still be carrying lots of oxygen, and compressing the chest moves air in and out of the lungs. (admittedly not like rescue breathing but still better than you'd think) it is more important to provide minimally interrupted chest compressions than it is to provide rescue breaths. Rescue breaths w/o an ETT tube are partly wasted anyway, with much of the air entering the GI tract.
it is pretty much standard practice to have a 2nd vehicle to assist with cardiac arrests regardless of skill mix on the 1st vehicle.... cpr was pretty crap by the bystanders but better than none at all... and no need to tube him why faff around when your getting an effective airway with an opi and BVM. The Zoll would of been more ideal to use but the AED was just as effective in this case... Scope of practice is not low at all over in the UK but drugs are not as good as quality compressions
@Crashdude975 No one is arguing that they did a good job and saved the guy. The big question is why is their scope of practice is so low? To paramedics who work in countries like USA canada and other with very high and broad scopes of practice seeing paramedics working a cardiac arrest with just an AED and a BVM is a bit disturbing. Im sure these guys did everything they were trained to and they did a great. But why are they only allowed to practice BLS.
@firefighterE134 ...which would be no different if it was in the US and being run by 2 EMTs. Also effective CPR and defibrillation are the only things that matter. Airway devices are nice for post arrest if there is no spontaneous ventilations and IV/IO access are nice for therapeutic hypothermia, but unless the patient is in PEA, the rest are really just for show. The only thing that would have been nice would be a manual defib for rhythm and quicker defibs.
A few things I noticed from the comments. Why intubate; the patient had a patent airway with basic adjuncts, sorted. As far as ALS, ok, maybe an adrenaline before the third shock, then again the editing is all over the shop so we don't know for sure. An AED does exactly the same as a manual and the ones british trucks carry can be overridden by paramedics to shock pulse less VT, other wise the AED is great as it acts as a time keeper on the arrest so things are done at the right time.
That "no shock advised" can be such a good sound! I'm a little curious as to why the first lady doing CPR would stop randomly from time to time though.
@52milehigh80 Or it could mean that you're gonna be doing compressions all the way to the hospital... (PEA, Asystole) lol The last 2 cardiac arrests that I've worked, we never shocked. Just CPR and Epi every 3-5 (Both got ROSC and had decent rhythms before we had our truck cleaned up and back in service.(-: )
Also, someone left a comment about they never seen the ambulance crew giving a breath? ambulance crews dont give mouth to mouth for their own hygiene and safety, they use ambu bags. On the whole, v good job and good team effort
I hate it when people leave negative comments on videos like this, ok patient was in between railings so yeah i guess they could have dealt with that and perhaps there are other little things that in hindsight they may have done differently but at the end of the day all the important stuff was done compressions, bagging, defibrillation and the patient made a full recovery. i just seen a comment say that the officer failed? Sorry? Someone surviving sudden cardiac arrest in the street is failing?
@fuckhacap as of 18th of October, its 100-120 BPM with emphasis on the speed of compressions to rescue breaths back to compressions again. Good CPR make the Defib redundant. Incredible work, I have had the displeasure of doing CPR, regaining a sinus rhythm, then arresting again and not get them back. No one on this page should be so hypothetically critical about this incident, as most of you have no clue what happens in real life.
This is the best live CPR video I can find. I need to show this to some medical students who are taking one of my English classes. "Medical English" I am only a paramedic level, but I am studying to be a doctor. Right now, I make my money teaching English =) Thanks again!!
@krassersmudda Paddles are so fucking american. Defribrillator is done via pads, and you've just said to the world your a dumbass with no experience of pre-hospital care.
@krassersmudda Not required if there is a patent airway with basic maneuvers, stepwise airway management, like drugs titrate to effect. Plus effective and safe intubation can only be carried out when there is more than just the crew, you need 1 to intubate, 1 to assist and 1 to continue BLS whilst intubation is performed.
There is no difference, and pads are safer. The AED is useful as it provides timing for the arrest that a manual doesn't. Timing is often the first to go wrong in prehosp.
ALS Adavanced Life Support, in ireland they are advanced paramedics but the training standard is higher in the uk so not sure what their called over there,
Rescue breaths were being given through the BVM (Bag Mask Valve) that the person at the head had, I know it cruel but if you dont have a barrier device to seperate you from the patient you are taugh to only do chest compressions and to avoid direct contact
Never once in this video did I see anyone in the 1st responders taking care of breathing, fair enough Jill did a great job with circulation and that luckily was enough to keep this man alive, surely police are trained in basic first aid? Officer Daniel failed as far as I can see
@bels10 just to let you know, you can give EAR by mouth to mouth if you want but it is not advised due to transmittable diseases. he did a fine job... that man is still alive
rock on! i share the same name with one of those medics (alyssa).
and doing CPR wrong is better than standing back and doing nothing at all. a broken sternum from improper compressions is better than asystole! even as a lowly EMT student I can see things that could've been handled better but c'mon. the guy is alive and well.
'prockchiq16' I think you need to have a word with yourself... if your are a nurse, it makes me wonder.. why the chip on your shoulder? I'm sure if the camera's followed you around for a day, you'd make lots of mistakes (like talking!! lol).
I have a sneeking suspicion your not a nurse, but a wan-a-be
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
OK, first of all, you medics are retarded. the blonde never had gloves on in the first place.... you leave him laying there right in the middle of two metal poles while your trying to defib him? and guy who was doing compressions, wat is wrong with u? you are bending your elbows while compressing. you all are pathetic and should be fired. but its a good thing the man was able to live with your shitty performances. btw, im a nurse.
@tobyrat23 Anal impalement? I've actually treated that before so don't joke about it!!! :P Just kidding go ahead joke about it. I still do among my colleagues...
@prockchiq16 Oh! you're a nurse?! I guess us lowly EMT's and Paramedics aren't as qualified as you Guess what? When you don't have a nice, clean hospital to work in, you do the best you can. I bet you think good CPR can be done on a hospital bed with no backboard.You would have probably been the one running around the scene like your hair was on fire getting in the way of the real professionals. I can't tell you the number of idiot nurses I've seen that couldn't spell CPR, much less perform it.
Wow! Thanks so much for posting this up! It was so hard to find a video with live CPR. This was a great teaching video! I'm so glad it had a happy ending.

@firefighterE134 Probably a double technician crew mate which is why they were backed up by a second crew which would have had a paramedic onboard

@firefighterE134 ...which would be no different if it was in the US and being run by 2 EMTs. Also effective CPR and defibrillation are the only things that matter. Airway devices are nice for post arrest if there is no spontaneous ventilations and IV/IO access are nice for therapeutic hypothermia, but unless the patient is in PEA, the rest are really just for show. The only thing that would have been nice would be a manual defib for rhythm and quicker defibs.

A few things I noticed from the comments. Why intubate; the patient had a patent airway with basic adjuncts, sorted. As far as ALS, ok, maybe an adrenaline before the third shock, then again the editing is all over the shop so we don't know for sure. An AED does exactly the same as a manual and the ones british trucks carry can be overridden by paramedics to shock pulse less VT, other wise the AED is great as it acts as a time keeper on the arrest so things are done at the right time.
stparamedic86 1 year ago
That "no shock advised" can be such a good sound! I'm a little curious as to why the first lady doing CPR would stop randomly from time to time though.

@52milehigh80 Or it could mean that you're gonna be doing compressions all the way to the hospital... (PEA, Asystole) lol The last 2 cardiac arrests that I've worked, we never shocked. Just CPR and Epi every 3-5 (Both got ROSC and had decent rhythms before we had our truck cleaned up and back in service.(-: )

I hate it when people leave negative comments on videos like this, ok patient was in between railings so yeah i guess they could have dealt with that and perhaps there are other little things that in hindsight they may have done differently but at the end of the day all the important stuff was done compressions, bagging, defibrillation and the patient made a full recovery. i just seen a comment say that the officer failed? Sorry? Someone surviving sudden cardiac arrest in the street is failing?

@fuckhacap as of 18th of October, its 100-120 BPM with emphasis on the speed of compressions to rescue breaths back to compressions again. Good CPR make the Defib redundant. Incredible work, I have had the displeasure of doing CPR, regaining a sinus rhythm, then arresting again and not get them back. No one on this page should be so hypothetically critical about this incident, as most of you have no clue what happens in real life.

@stealthbeast Paramedic is ALS. Tech is BLS.
The paramedic wasn't too great. Compressions too fast, no one thought of the DANGER - big metal rails + defib don't mix well. No ALS etc.

@krassersmudda Paddles are so fucking american. Defribrillator is done via pads, and you've just said to the world your a dumbass with no experience of pre-hospital care.
helenaustinfan 1 year ago
@krassersmudda Not required if there is a patent airway with basic maneuvers, stepwise airway management, like drugs titrate to effect. Plus effective and safe intubation can only be carried out when there is more than just the crew, you need 1 to intubate, 1 to assist and 1 to continue BLS whilst intubation is performed.
There is no difference, and pads are safer. The AED is useful as it provides timing for the arrest that a manual doesn't. Timing is often the first to go wrong in prehosp.

ALS Adavanced Life Support, in ireland they are advanced paramedics but the training standard is higher in the uk so not sure what their called over there,
Rescue breaths were being given through the BVM (Bag Mask Valve) that the person at the head had, I know it cruel but if you dont have a barrier device to seperate you from the patient you are taugh to only do chest compressions and to avoid direct contact

Never once in this video did I see anyone in the 1st responders taking care of breathing, fair enough Jill did a great job with circulation and that luckily was enough to keep this man alive, surely police are trained in basic first aid? Officer Daniel failed as far as I can see

rock on! i share the same name with one of those medics (alyssa).
and doing CPR wrong is better than standing back and doing nothing at all. a broken sternum from improper compressions is better than asystole! even as a lowly EMT student I can see things that could've been handled better but c'mon. the guy is alive and well.

'prockchiq16' I think you need to have a word with yourself... if your are a nurse, it makes me wonder.. why the chip on your shoulder? I'm sure if the camera's followed you around for a day, you'd make lots of mistakes (like talking!! lol).
I have a sneeking suspicion your not a nurse, but a wan-a-be

OK, first of all, you medics are retarded. the blonde never had gloves on in the first place.... you leave him laying there right in the middle of two metal poles while your trying to defib him? and guy who was doing compressions, wat is wrong with u? you are bending your elbows while compressing. you all are pathetic and should be fired. but its a good thing the man was able to live with your shitty performances. btw, im a nurse.

I can't tell you the number of idiot nurses I've seen that couldn't spell CPR, much less perform it.
