Um...aren't you supposed to check his breathing and pulse BEFORE you fry him?!

[KPSKS]

Actually, you are not. Checking pulse is obsolete for laymen, regarding the latest ERC guidelines of 2005. But checking pulse is still up to date, third step after talking to the person and asking for help of onlookers.

@KPSKS ABC Open airway, look listen feel, if pt is not breathing give 2 breathes one second in duration to avoid gastric destintion, check pulse, 5 no longer than 10 seconds. Unless pt is hypothermic then its 30 no longer than 45, no pulse, start compressions 30/2 5 cycles attach aed let it analyse, aed's only shock in vtact and vfib. why would attach the aed first what if the pt does have a pulse? and if he doesnt you just wasted time hooking up the aed.

[KPSKS]

Sorry, but you're wrong. Giving breathe first and checking pulse is NOT in the actual guidelines by the ERC and therefor obsolete. Checking pulse is even not recommended for docs and paramedics, bc there are studies that you can't always determine whether there is a pulse or not.

AED is not bad for laymen, bc it informs them about what to do.

Btw, I meant "checkig breathing" not "checking pulse"...

[KPSKS]

Actually, I meant checking BREATHING ;-)

@jenscripter

Not when your tits are hanging out! It's resuscitation law!

[TraumaTeam4ever]

AED need about 10 second to diagnose the rhythm, so there are no way it shock that fast

and according Wikipedia:

AED, like all defibrillators, are not designed to shock asystole ("flat line') as this will not have a positive clinical outcome. The asystolic patient only has a chance of survival if, through a combination of CPR and cardiac stimulant drugs, one of the shockable rhythms can be established, which makes it imperative for CPR to be carried out prior to the arrival of a defibrillator.

American Med Supply is giving away a free AED... All you have to do is enter the drawing, it's that easy. Plus, we are giving away a bunch of other great gifts and prizes all year long. Look up American Med Supply on YouTube for all the details. No purchase required, and it's free to sign up.

Unless you got the fantastic car you might be making a mistake , if you got a fantastic car then just do what he say

[macthefireman]

The German dialogue on screen correctly critiques the CPR and defibrillation pointing out which parts are "Korrekt" and which parts wrong. In the English dialogue, the discussion about recharge times is simply wrong and the AED will not deliver a shock until after it has analysed AND found a shockable rhythm such as VF or VT. Even then it won't shock without pressing the button. Basically what you see here is dramatic rubbish. Do a course and don't waste time looking for a pulse!

mmm yumi nipples

[joelgreatguy]

@jenscripter an aed wont shock someone if they dont have a shockable rhythm. but you are suposed to check pulse and breathing

[Nikifuj908]

Oh and there's no need to rip open the shirt either.

[Nikifuj908]

You don't shock a flatline, woman. You give adrenalin and atropine.
