Rescue 911 - Episode 116 - "De-Fib Phone"

A heart attack victim is shocked through the phone lines using a special defibrillator. This segment was taken from Episode 116 which aired on January 9, 1990 on CBS. This particular version of the segment was taken from a 30-minute syndicated episode, so small parts of it may have been cut out to make room for commercials.

woudn't the man had to poen her shirt when they shock her

[allgood2000]

@pogo506 He probably did in real life, but I doubt they would show that in a re-enactment.

Just out of curiosity Dave, when it comes to the various Rescue 911 episodes that you have, how do you know which segments are taken from syndicated episodes, which ones are from the Family Channel, and which ones are original Cbs ones?

[allgood2000]

I can tell FAM from CBS because FAM usually has their channel logo on the bottom of the screen (plus if the tape still has the commercials, that makes it pretty obvious). In later episodes, CBS has their logo at the bottom of the screen when the show returns from a commercial. Syndicated episodes are usually pretty obvious because the segments aren't paired with the segments they were originally paired with. I know this one is syndicated because it doesn't end with a preview for "Amtrak".

Doing CPR on a bed is ineffective as the bed will absorb the compression.

@pogo506 You can shock through a thin shirt but you will likely have trouble - i.e. a fire.
