call 911? that would be weird if they were at the hospital already.

same video I saw in my CPR/AED class today....

First off did not use proper head tilt chin lift. Not look, listen, feeling chest to rise. Most importantly did not find xyphoid process- just setting up on the chest can cause more damage to the victim. Lastly in parts the main CPR lady was using the wrong hands- head hand(1 that's closet to head) is always the dominant hand on the chest. Good video but techniques need work.

This video was taken in an OR I believe the guy is standing by an anesthesia machine and an N-200 pulse oximeter. The anesthesia machine is a an Aestiva from datex ohmeda

@GreatKnight1000 No an AED checks the rhythm and after it's done checking then it tells you it is safe to touch the victim

Hey it's the voice of the old PHILIPS Laerdal FR2.

@amazonwarlord sorry for the double post .. it looked like my first comment did not go through. Ooops.

@5013John That is not always true .. depends on the hospital maybe even state you're in.

[amazonwarlord]

@nickster102559 that could easily be a doctor's office or nursing home as well.

@nickster102559 maybe it was a nursing home....

@sungod1019 They have CPR barrier devices, a bag valve mask, and an AED. Looks pretty good to me. Not all doctors know how to use the ACLS medications on a crash cart or how to do manual cardioversion with a defibrillator like a LIFEPAK 15, 12, or 20E or a Welch Allyn PIC 30, 40, or 50. Those are way out of scope for any doctor not ACLS certified.

@nickster102559 It looks like a doctor's office or other clinic, not a hospital. If it was a hospital they would call the code team (doctors/nurses trained in advanced cardiac life support) and get the crash cart (defibrillators and ACLS medication)
