  • Good video. Just one thing I noticed:

    When chest compressions start, we can listen to a metronome "tic-tac" at 100 x minute, but the guy doing the chest compressions goes faster than that (30 every 15 sec = 120 minute rate).

    As a certified instructor I know we should only look for 30 Chest C. in less than 23 sec, when doing CPR evaluation, but to be more precise, in the practice we should seek to accomplish 30 CC in between 17 and 22 seconds.

    Greetings

  • I have an observation. I believe people who have played musical instruments can keep time with the metronome, and those people who have no musical aptitude can't. It is just a theory.

  • The one thing I noticed is that you may not have visualized the chest while rescue breathing. I don't think it its incumbent that you do so. However, it helps you note adequate rise and fall of the chest. I couldn't see your eyes though. You may as well have been doing so.

  • Keith is at the head of the patient and every time he ventilates, he can see the rise. In addition, I can feel the chest wall expand as the air enters the lungs.

  • @MasterTrainInc HE SAID IT SO BLUNT!!!! my school they made us scream it

  • Wanna have a free AED (Automated External Defibrillator) go on Youtube and look for American Med Supply there giving away a Free AED. No purchase required, just register for the drawing.

  • The video is one of the better ones I have seen. I did notice the rapid compressions as previously mentioned. I also think it should be done on the floor since you wouldn't be doing it on a table.

  • Great video!  Excellent for someone who just needs a refresher!

  • I just got CPR/AED certified today. So every 30 compressions during AED, you allow 2 breaths into persona, then resume for 5 cycles, correct?

  • AHA ONLY recommends to ANALIZE HEART RHYTHM every 2 minutes when using an AED.

    If we do not have a AED, CPR must continue without pauses until ALS/AED arrives or victim starts moving.

    BLS HP Manual & 2005 Guidelines say so.

    Greetings

  • thank you! these vids are very helpful

  • AHA guidelines recommend reassess every 2 minutes.
