Incredible story and a lesson for awareness. Thankful for your health and you are doing good. I think everyone should know CPR and CPR should be taught in schools
If only the devices were even smaller and lighter like 2.2 lbs is still heavy, should have made them weight 1 lb and 1 set of pads that can be used for adults and pediatric/children and have much smaller pads as well maybe only be the size of some ecg/ekg electrode size pads or 2 inches by 2 inches or even 1.5 inches in diameter with a center 360 degree rotatable clip/ wire plug in. But with pads that doesn’t matter where they’re placed on body and are a solid color with no writing or pictures on them. Wish the aed had a manual only mode as well with adjustable charge amounts from 25 Jules up to 150 in increments like 25,50,75,100,125,150. With 150 being max and 25 minimum with a button to press for a manual shock and able to push it as many times as possible to give unlimited shocks when needed. Also need the aed to be more affordable and not cost as much as a brand new iPhone 15 pro max for $1500. Like for average people $1500 is a lot of money but $500 would be a lot more affordable
Portability is the way to go! At 2.1 lbs., our AEDs are getting into more places than ever before. Most importantly, they are arriving at the side of patients as quickly as possible. Our pads are universal and can be used on adults and children. They feature graphics to guide easy placement. Our AED is fully-automatic to make the rescue as easy as possible for the everyday person. Fewer steps = less hesitation and time saved! We offer an annual lease option. Thanks so much for your interest. Feel free to give us a call to learn more! 1 (800) 489-4428
I had nearly the exact experience with my now ex husband in the early 1990ies. Very traumatic, to say the least. I recommend to have him checked for long QT syndrome and do a tilt table test. It took years for him to be diagnosed, but a pacemaker, now defibrilator have kept him going...
Wow! Thank you for sharing, and for being a life saver. Kristin Flanary, Will's wife, has done a tremendous amount of advocacy for life savers such as yourself to help people better understand what a traumatic and life changing experience this is for the entire family. We wish you the best.
You should be checked for channelopathies. There are some that can cause seizures followed by cardiac arrhythmias. The episode at night very suggestive for epileptic seizure followed by cardiac arrhythmia. Talk to neurophysiologist about this.
If there’s no aed, does cpr still helps? My father has an aneurysm and I’m worried and want to be prepared in case something happens. Thanks for this video.
Was there an underlying condition that was found to have caused it? Obviously this is super rare but it doest make one a bit anxious that it can happen to a young healthy individual.
Thank you for watching. In this case, an underlying cause was not ever discovered. It is scary and we wish Sudden Cardiac Arrest were more rare. The reality is that SCA can happen to people of all ages, including children and teens, and even people who appear to be in good health. The best things we can all do to be prepared are learn CPR, how to use an AED, and make sure we have access to AEDs. Learn more about SCA here: avive.life/facts/
Thank you for caring for others in so many ways! You are awesome doc! I enjoy you so much please keep going with the humor, but most of all take care of yourself. Who am I to say this you are the doctor!! God bless you for all you do for others!
God bless you, Dr. Flanary! You are a miracle, intended to be here to share your genius and humor with the world. May you live 100+ years!!! As for your wife, she is one amazing woman! 💯❤
Our friends at the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation have created an amazing group to assist anyone touched by cardiac arrest: www.sca-aware.org/sca-network Everyone at Avive wishes you the very best in your recovery.
Our goal is certainly to make AEDs more accessible to people everywhere. To help in this effort we do have a subscription plan called the LIFESaver Plan. Also, depending upon where you live, you may be eligible to join one of our CARE Teams. Give us a call to talk about it! 1(800) 489-4428
As an Orthopaedic surgeon I feel more than qualified to say that you are one really funny physician. Your wife, on the other hand, is absolutely the real deal!!!!
I like the lessons in this video, but c'mon, the paramedics in the BBC clip are doing fake CPR, not even bad CPR. Is this a reenactment? Seems disingenuous to call it a "real video."
Hi there! Thanks for watching and asking the question. This is actually not a reenactment. Here is a link to view Chris' full story: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gPdlCUTMpcA.html
My Dad had cardiac arrest in front of me and went right in to agonal breathing. Luckily I have been trained and unfortunately done CPR many times. I called 911 and told them I was already doing CPR. I didn’t stop until I heard him scream and he came to. I was beyond words shocked. I know the survival rate is so low. By some absolute grace of god he came back and only has mild cognitive decline. Doctors were absolutely stunned and to this date every new doctor that reads his file calls him a miracle and tells me how amazing I am. It’s still tough day to day but CPR really does save lives. I encourage everyone to learn.
That is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your save story with us. Stories like yours are what motivates our team! We agree with you that everyone should learn CPR and know where the closest AED is at all times. You just never know when Sudden Cardiac Arrest will strike. We wish you and your Dad both the very best.
Thank you for this question! We recommend you discuss this with your doctor. AEDs can treat hearts in two of four irregular rhythms, Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) or Ventricular Fibrillation (VF). Learn more about shockable rhythms here: avive.life/blog/shockable-vs-non-shockable-heart-rhythms/ Generally speaking, Avive strives to normalize having AEDs in the home because 70% of cardiac arrests happen at home. Personal defibrillators at home are ideal for individuals with known heart problems or a family history of cardiac disease.

Great interview....love Dr Glaucomflecken ! ....but I could do without the dramatic background music. After about the first minute it became annoying....lol "Awesome" wife btw ! Great job Mrs Glaucomflecken ! 😎👍
I have a genuine question here and im not a doctor or anything but im genuinely curious. She said he was making a loud snoring sound. If his heart had stopped AKA cardiact arrest. Wouldnt he not be breathing at all? Dont you only perforrm CPR when someone isnt breathing at all? Again genuine question. Thank you.
This is a really great question! When a person goes into Sudden Cardiac Arrest sometimes they exhibit what is called agonal breathing for seconds or minutes after their heart stops beating. It is not normal breathing. It sounds like snoring, snorting, gasping, or labored breathing. The person will appear to be choking or having an involuntary gasp reflex. Agonal breathing indicates that someone is likely dying. Acting quickly can save a life! Learn more about agonal breathing here: avive.life/guides/agonal-breathing-everything-you-need-to-know/#:~:text=Agonal%20Breathing%20Definition,having%20an%20involuntary%20gasp%20reflex.
So I dont live in a 4 minute city. Does that mean that the dispatcher won't look for an aed nearby during cardiac arrest? Or does that only happen in 4 minute cities
Great question! You are correct. Our partnership with RapidSOS allows 911 telecommunicators in participating 4 Minute City Programs to “dispatch” nearby Avive Connect AEDs to patients in need and receive valuable data from the AED during a rescue. 911 centers do need to opt in. If you're interested in bringing Avive to your community please reach out to us learn more: avive.life/4-minute-city/
Should be free though. Should be placed at bus stops as well, should be given to people for free at a disruption at a certain distance from populated areas. Should be placed at all apartment leasing and lounge front doors, should be given to landlords for free.
We look forward to the day when AEDs are as commonplace in our society as cell phones and fire extinguishers! Avive Connect AEDs are strategically distributed to hundreds of volunteer CARE Team members in our 4 Minute Cities, getting more AEDs into more places for quicker response times.
Will's Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) occurred before the vaccine was available. SCA has been a leading cause of death across all ages for decades, unfortunately. We're hoping to change that!
Provided the woman gave me consent then I would assist. Opp's if she is unconscious then she cannot give consent or she may have been drinking. So Consent it CONSENT. I wonder how many women have actually died because a Man followed feminists advice about consent in these situations.
A person in Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) will be unconscious AND not breathing normally. A person who is responsive is not in SCA. Learn more here: avive.life/blog/cpr-on-women-gender-differences/
@@avivesolutions British irony doesn't pan out well in text across cultural lines. In short and to the nub of it. As a Man the risk is too great to get involved. It may be that the woman is unconscious but in the middle of carrying out CPR she comes round as it was not a heart attack or stoke at all, and CPR was not necessary at that time. The Man who thought he was doing the right thing now finds himself in a situation where the Woman may decide she was touched inappropriately. As a Man I can avoid that whole scenario by crossing the street and letting a strong independent woman be the good Samaritan.
@@FHIPrincePeter At the end of the day women prefer life over death. Bystanders stepping up to take quick action, implementing "Call Push Shock" when SCA strikes are key to improving survival outcomes for both men and women.
Yaay the "Glaucomfleckens" 😄. Lovely to see them thive! A side note for either the team who made or edited this, but there's too much blue light/filter and it looks a tad strange that the white of their eyes is kinda blue-ish, amongst other stuff. You may wanna tune down on that for future productions if you hadn't yet!
It's pretty startling, isn't it? Its not unheard of for people with no warning signs or family history of heart disease to experience Sudden Cardiac Arrest. As far as we know, he still isn’t sure why it happened. This is why its a good idea to be prepared by knowing how to perform CPR and use an AED. We're working hard to make AEDs more accessible and affordable so that they are available when and where they're needed. We're grateful to Dr. Flanary for sharing his story to raise awareness about how CPR and AEDs saves lives.
