[Goodie8486]

at 1:06 its the governator! SARA COONOR GET DOWN!!! COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!! GET IN THE CHOPPA!!!

its so sad that no one freaking helped this guy. people just walked past him...

[slimxjuicy]

did anybody noticed how he talked wen he told ha 2 call aht da beggining of da vid.

[mmandmcb14]

Who does his voice?

[mizwyn]

you know people who wear casual clothes were more reliable than those who wear suits

[animeflowergurl]

wtf ppl pass him like 'oh that's an odd place to have a nap. oh well i'll just walk around him' OMG those kind of people make me sick

[Hannah2454]

Even though I know stuff like this happens every day, it's still scary to watch a show about it happening at the hospital closest to my family!

[bleachatchatpark]

i live 5 mintues away from central dupage hospital

[zombieholic]

What's frusterating is the fact that people just walk by with no care for another human being! it's sickening to see people just have the nerve to just stand there watching like huh whatever and keep on going, I'd be there to help the guy even if it's a stranger! what have we become?? does noone care anymore?

[Gcheer12171]

that guy was death

[StuckInTheStargate]

OMG how could you not run and help! What is wrong with people!!!!!!!

[Superdogsrule101]

I can't believe no one came to help him!!!

[meganandmandy1600]

what happened to him??

[meganandmandy1600]

are you supposed to do 5, or 30? in swimming class (we do lifegaurd stuff too) we were taught todo 30, but in this they only do 5

[styx4ever1963]

What a amazing job those ladies did God bless everybody who helped

[vickiormindyb]

I used to be an EKG Technician and performed several cardiology tests all day every day.

Once I responded to a code blue on a guy who went into major cardiac arrest and died. Doctors had discharged him; he was waiting for his family to arrive when he coded.

He had all the instruments of modern medicine within a minute of his collapse and he still died.

I can't figure out why people think they save cardiac patients when certain cases should make it obvious that it's not true.

[sn1pe352]

omg AN EKG TECHNICIAN? NO WAY A REAL ONE?

So that means youre a master at hodgkins cable theory and electrophysiology/hemodynamici­sim?

And are you a master at understanding biology-chemistry-physics from micro to macro on an intelligent designer/"Universal God" Level?

It's god complex's and blind faith in science/indifference-ignorance like you that keeps people DOA when there really truly are chances

I know of people falling 140 stories and living, and babies falling 7 stories still alive

[tehlinebeginstoblur]

Cardiac arrest =/= death. Are you saying that when this man's heart stopped while in the hospital, no one tried to perform defibrillation or other measures and restart his heart? Unless this man had a signed, legal DNR, then those in the hospital that day and whatever supervising doctor told the nurses and everyone NOT to take action is guilty of manslaughter.

[CoastalCaldwell]

@vickiormindyb Doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

[LovinMyPrincess911]

i mean this man has a wife and 3 young kids for crying out loud. How would these people feel if it was their husband or dad that no one was helping???

[tjoshuas]

Well i found ot that there is a law which states that if someone tries to do CPR On you, and they do it wrong or they fail, you family or you can take the person to court- even though they were trying to help you. maybe the people were aware of this law and didn't want to risk going to court. Personally i think that the law is pointless and silly, but is still exists.

[jsnzk]

@tjoshuas all 50 states has a Good Samaritan Act. In most cases first aiders are covered unless they were stupidly negligent. Any one can file a suit, no matter what laws and acts are on the books. But it doesn't mean that the first aider will charged. Jim RN, Legal Nurse Consultant.

[NKOWlifelight]

@tjoshuas has this law ever been enforced?

[RayeMcGarrett]

tjoshuas,not necessarily. you're forgetting that the Good Samartian law protects them. As long as they were well intentioned they cannot be charged as long as they were trying to help.

[CoastalCaldwell]

@tjoshuas There is a law called "the Good Samaritan Law" which protects you if you are trying to help someone in an emergency.

[KatieJean1985]

@tjoshuas That's why the 'Good Samaritan' law was passed so that if someone attempts to help another in need, regardless of if they help or injure in the attempt, the person they tried to help can NOT bring a lawsuit or charges against them.

[LovinMyPrincess911]

Its so nice to see all those people just standing around doing NOTHING or walking on by when there is nothing being done to help him.

[jediskunk67]

this guy is deaf!

[LovinMyPrincess911]

Yeah he's deaf. Is there something wrong with that?

[vickiormindyb]

IDK what I was thinking when I said we "rarely" do CPR, but I didn't mean we as the ambulance. Someone always does CPR, but I myself haven't been the one doing it lately.

So people can disregard my statement, especially the word "we."

My brain was thinking "I" and my mouth said "we," which was incorrect. I apologize for that blunder.

[seymour7ramdin]

it was really really sad to see people just walking by like nothing happened for the what i would call a long period of time before toni and mary was able to be there to start CPR for him

[animeflowergurl]

"Oh look at that guy lying on the floor. Oh well let's all just walk around him. It's not a big deal." Geeze people can be so ignorant! i was really impressed when i saw the hard of hearing man telling part of the story. i speak a little Sign Language myself

[Kingvenom7]

listen to the man's voice at 1:08 he sounds kind of arnold schwarzenegger from a momment

[travelplus1]

How did the woman call 911 without the call going through in the reenactment. How do they set this up in other shows too when we see them call 911? You hear the call going through on the callers end

[Adrenaline7]

An IV must be initiated, but in any cardiac arrest, the airway is the most important, so while someone is doing CPR, an ALS person, whether it be an Intermediate or Paramedic, must intubate the pt and control their airway for them. EMT-Basics can put in a Combitube, it isn't the best airway, but it is better than no airway. Now you can establish an IV and determine which medication to administer, which is most often 1mg/10mL Epinephrine 1:10000.

[Adrenaline7]

If you didn't see the person fall into cardiac arrest, then you must initiate CPR for 2 minutes before you can defibrillate them. If you seen the person fall into cardiac arrest, then you can defibrillate them immediately, but immediately after you defibrillate them, you must initiate CPR for 2 minutes before you even assess for a pulse.

[LovinMyPrincess911]

oh great, lets pump chest on someone for 2 minutes when then have a normal rhythm. Smooth. ALWAYS assess for a pulse after defibrillation. 5 cycles in 2 minutes? Which CPR class did you take? The one 4 years ago?

[Itsnick85]

@LovinMyPrincess911 What CPR class did you take? The one 1 year ago? Theres no ratio anymore just strictly compressions. Good point about checking pulse after defib.

[lookyouabigailkriby]

wot CPR

[vickiormindyb]

It's sad when you lose a patient, but that increases a hundredfold when the victim's family members are still blaming you for failing to save the patient.

We lost a patient on 3/25/09. Someone in her family still blames us for it. He even launched legal action, which I hope he drops but doubt he will.

It's common for people to begin legal action upon the death of a loved one then drop it after they've realized that we really did do everything we could to save her.

[triezen007]

geez all these stupid people doing nothing, just let the guy lay there and die.

[vickiormindyb]

I wonder if the heart rhythm the Paramedic refers to at 5:08 is Pulseless Sinus Rhythm (PSR).

That's a condition in which the heart has electrical activity but the patient has no pulse.

It sounds like PSR.

[myactseb]

2:38 that woman looks like someone I work with

[tinmanlover1994]

that was a relly happy eading

[mmmfloorpie]

Must have been pretty emotional for him to see the reenactment...

[queenofpeace1]

Those two women were awesome and heros for that man. Beautiful story..

[vickiormindyb]

The people who walked around him probably didn't want to find out if he was dead.

I'm hoping that's what it was, b/c I would hate to think someone KNEW he was alive and hurt, but still didn't help.

I'm a Paramedic. I've come to several scenes where I've heard people say they didn't want to find out the patient was dead, so they didn't help.

They're either afraid to do anything or they refuse to let go of helping when we arrive.

I haven't met many who lie between the two extremes.

[travelplus1]

how did she call 911 without the call going through did she omit the 9 before 911?

[skiljathegirl]

And it´s always the same: people just walk by until someone stops to help and then the rest just stop to watch...

[starcraftguy1]

what was he name?

very touching!!!

[ASSEMblerEX]

The people who stepped over him should be shot

[hicknumber1]

I totally agree. This is like the one where no one would help a woman pull an unconscious man from a burning car.

[allgood2000]

This one was even worse, because they wouldn't have even been in any danger if they tried to help him.

[PredatorBrendan]

Yeah, I agree. I don't know CPR, but this I won't ask for. That would not be cool if the man died and his family would be lost because of a lot of people, expert for those two, not helping. You know?

[meganandmandy1600]

@hicknumber1 which one is that??

[billybassman21]

It's pretty sad that the two people doing anything to help are women. Those college graduate office guys are some weak men.

[AED1staid]

You don't leave someone alone during a heart attack. Why wasn't anyone around to start CPR!? those fuckers!

[TurgeonFan77132]

Is there a similarity betweend Sudden Death Syndrome and SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome)?

[yordan78giordan]

kool im deaf and sign language and im understand sign language

[Rescue911Trooper]

I am deaf too. I was so excited to see this segment. Out of all seasons, we only had 3 segments that feature deaf characters.

[StickyCheese2000]

That's surprising that he still could live normally despite more than 30 minutes of not having a pulse.

It was a good thing that the medical team did not give up on him at that time.

[MidNightLullibys]

if u want to learn cpr, take a lifeguard course, they teach it alot better, and will also teach u first aid, so if there is a problem u really can help.

[WCD73]

I WANT TO LEARN CPR THIS YEAR!!!

[snakinapen]

If you go to your local hospital they possibly have a course to take to learn CPR. You can also go to your local American Red Cross. They may also have a program.

[longlivethewtc]

That's why everyone should take CPR. They came to our middle school, and to our high school health classes. Save lives. But make sure someone calls 911 as soon as possible. Great job helping that man, ladies. And good job doctors and EMTs as well for continuing to try to save him.

[kewlkatty]

How can a human leave a human in that condition. Even if you dont know how to do compressions at least check him and breathe for him. Better to keep oxygen moving in his system.

[Myderion]

There's a proper way to do it. You don't just throw you mouth on his and push air. If you were a First Repsonder you'd know.

[Loodirros]

If you don't know how to do it properly you're just going to move air in and out of his stomach which does nothing. You're better off going to look for someone who knows what to do.

[eaxt]

Even with mouth to mouth you can deliver about 14% of oxygen.. still better than nothing. I agree with you. Happened twice that I wasn't on service and I don't really carry oxygen units with me so... yeah mouth to mouth... do it if you have to...

[Jovan14606]

Yes, gald to see it was an happy ending. It sucks that it took so long for someone to help. If they were scared because they are not trained in CPR, thats understandable but the least anyone can do is call 911. Don't just turn a blind eye to a man lying on the ground!

[happy7117]

This may be a mean thought, but I am almost wishing that those people who chose NOT to help him would have collapsed themselves.

If I saw that guy, I would be scared sure, but I would definately call 911 or run to get help for him.

[happy7117]

If that man who went down were a passer-bye in the parking lot, I am hoping he would help anyone who may go down.

I am betting that guy who went down would help anyone who needed it.

I am hoping that guy who no doubt is well today comes across a person down, and helps save their life.

[Unslovedaudio]

go to tvshowsondvd,com and vote on rescue 911 to come out on dvd, rescue 911 has 435 votes please vote

[happy7117]

I can't believe people were walking around him. What if one of those passer-byes went down, and others walked around them? Not helping a person who goes down like that might mean they are contributing to the person's death. Or it could mean a passer-bye who sees a person down and does not help does not care if they die or not.

[JediSCUME]

Tells you one thing. People don't care now uh days. But i would risk my life to save that man.

[happy7117]

People that are heartless like that need to have a fatal accident to see if passer-byes will stop to help them when they go down.

Heartless people who do not help people like that gent in the parking lot need to get a dose of how it feels not to be helped in the time when they may need to be helped the most.

[sanhelmi]

i feel awful 'bout the fact that noone else came to help him or even check up on him while on the ground, some precious time was wasted, bless him he's alive:)

[kurfew1100]

his eyes r open he not dead!

[MetalSanke]

you idiot you can be dead with your eyes open!

[Myderion]

I love how fake these things are. 5 compresstions...1 breathe!? its 30-2...roflat rate of 100 per min

[allgood2000]

This was filmed in 1995, that's how it was taught back then.  I took a CPR class in 2002, and they still taught us to do five compressions for one breath or twelve for every two breaths.

[Myderion]

Not anymore. I updated my CPR a few months ago. 30:2

[allgood2000]

I know it has changed now, but that was how it was done at the time this episode was made.

[Myderion]

I no.

[timberland1108]

@Myderion ur right and a kid is 15:2

[allgood2000]

I knew about the change in steps (I get a lot of comments about it). I was think about putting up annotations on CPR episodes that say the CPR steps are outdated, but since they're constantly changing, I was wondering if there was a website I could cite that would have the latest 'official' CPR information.

[vickiormindyb]

I got my information from a web site for professional rescuers. The information was from 2008.

Every 3 years, professionals have to update their education. I have to do mine this year, which is why I was looking for web sites with current knowledge.

I don't know where Community CPR web sites are, but I'm going to guess starting with the Red Cross or American Heart Association.

[Adrenaline7]

vickiormindyb, I'm not sure what state you are in or the ways that you are taught, but I am an EMT-Intermediate and currently in EMT-P school, and even EMT-Basics know that you must ALWAYS initiate CPR in someone UNLESS it is a witnessed arrest by emergency personnel. If the person falls into cardiac arrest and no emergency personnel witness it, you must initiate CPR for 2 minutes (5 cycles), and if you are a Paramedic you wouldn't be using the AED, you would do manual defibrillation.

[Almandiro]

@allgood2000 Just remember that it's 30 compressions to 2 breaths for adults and 15 compressions to 2 breaths for children and infants.

[seymour7ramdin]

@allgood2000 It was only yesterday I was reading an article on my local newspapers where the American Heart Association (AHA) endorses the new CPR which is now known as CCC (Continuous Chest Compressions). From studies they've concluded that fast compressions of 100 times per minute & at least 2 inches deeper in adults is all that is needed to revive a victim.There is no longer the need to breathe into the person.Go to AHA website & there's all the info & a video showing the new 2010 guidelines

[QM183]

I am highly considering becoming an emt - medic once I'm out of the navy. My brothers a medic in Kansas City and he says that they are doing CPR at 200 chest compresions at a rate of 50:2 and that they do 2 rounds of 200 chest compresions before they even start IV's, intubate or shock the pt. Since going to this new way of cpr K.C. has one of the highest cardiac arrest survival rates (like 40-45%) second only to seattle, don't know if everyone does it like that but thought I'd share it.

[QM183]

Also, I was under the impression that paramedics used cardiac monitors and the AED's were for lay people, and basic first responders like the fire department (could be wrong though), what is the difference between an AED and a "monitor" and is one better than the other? You said that paramedics rarely do CPR does that mean that you direct others to do it for you while you give drugs or is CPR not that important once your giving drugs??

[FFEMT152]

your obviously not a Paramedic. To say "we" rarely do CPR is complete and TOTAL garbage. You are an idiot if your a paramedic and dont do chest compressions or breathe for the patient. The AED is just as important as chest compressions, but its incorporated into the CPR standards. IV and drug use is usually allways the last thing preformed. ABC's, secure airway, breathing, and compressions are BLS, and BLS allways comes before ALS...

[kewlkatty]

Back in the 80 and 90's it was 15 compressions to 2 breaths. It is only recently it it 30:2. They were doing what they were trained to do.

[Myderion]

I know...

[Itsnick85]

@Myderion Not anymore. But since your comment was 3 years ago im sure you already know that there is no longer a ratio. Its strictly compressions now.

[mantarays1991]

@Myderion

back then it was only five. Its changed often

[christy19802660123]

i LIVE IN IL I KNOW WHERE THE PLACE IS WHERE HE HAD HIS HEART ATTACK

[Myderion]

good for u

[chase251]

Never mind I re-watched the tape and saw the hearing aid.

[chase251]

Uhm deaf people have driver's licences?

[richard4195]

omg yes duh what people that cant here doesnt mean that they cant drive my brothers friend is deaf he drives

[19061986]

just an excuss to get out of work :-S

[P2000Camaro]

EVERYONE was gathered around with concerned looks on their faces. And the lady came up and grabbed his wallet and read his name, then drifted back into the crowd, like she somehow contributed to saving his life. I wonder if she told people afterward that she assisted in saving someones life.. wow, i just rambled a whole lot.. This clip made me very angry. Thats seriously how cold hearted people really are.. fucked up huh?

[P2000Camaro]

Dammit, half of this got erased

[Bluegirl285]

Actually, the woman who read his wallet was the one who did the mouth-to-mouth part of the CPR on him; I recognized her outfit and earrings. So she did help in saving his life. I agree with you on the "fucked up" part, everyone else with the exception of the deaf man walked around or over him like he was garbage.

[gregorkrause]

there's an earlier segment related to this, Ballroom Sudden death where an elderly woman collapses at a dance.

[happy7117]

I so want so see that, but that's a Season 2 segment.

[Bluegirl285]

I hope that anyone from that day who choose to ignore that poor man rather than try to help him lives with the guilt the rest of their lives.

[MetalSanke]

I heard that now its literally a crime to ignore someone in need of help.

[mimigymgirl]

I think it's a crime if you don't try to help him, while your life ain't in any danger.But when you're life is in danger you should tried but if it comes to dangerous, tried to call for some help from people around you.

Sorry for my english, i'm french !

[raymondlee3327]

I love Rescue 911!! Please keep uploading these videos!

[qaaaaasasdasdsdfasfa]

clear

[metsfan1108]

Who would just leave him there, they didn't even call 4 help. That's just cold.

[goreds03]

yea it is who ever dose that has no heart

[kaykaycoolieo]

those people were cold hearted to just leave that practically dead man there...

[KinakoIshiyama]

Yes, that is sad...

[Donutej]

not to be mean,but whats wrong with the guys talk

[allgood2000]

He's deaf, so he can't hear himself talking.

[thecybercat]

Thanks for sharing again! You're very much appreciated!

[garthfan1]

keep posting these videos
