Air Ambulance ER: Helping a Golfer in Cardiac Arrest | Medical Documentary | Reel Truth Science 

A US hockey player survived longer CPR-neuro intact. However, sepsis resulted in a BKA. His fiancée & mom were in attendance. Save a life/learn CPR-infant through adult.

Saw a video yesterday of a guy who was fine after 108 minutes of CPR

Me too!!!

same.. I would have bet my life savings on him not making it. I am so happy that he did. That is a testament to modern medicine. He shouldn't have made it, and yet he is still around to tell the tale. I am so happy for him!

@@jonbird6566 a testament to determination by the medical team.

@@jogrant3851 No doubt!

And i can't believe golfman is survive wow.....

All the best, you'll get there.

Yes.

Yep, in the US it’s called a “LUCAS”

Yes. My dad was put on one. His heart kept stopping.

Yes. I have an autopulse on every unit of mine just like this video.

What is really cool about the LUCAS is that it sits further up on the chest and the patients hands can be attached to it. It kind of looks like they are hugging it.

Brain fart!

I was lucky enough to get a glimpse of him. I was in the Marine Corps and we went to El Centro to do some training and it just so happened that the unit that Prince Harry was in was training there too. I wish that I got the chance to actually meet him, but I was honored enough to be in his presence. I wouldn't bat an eye for a celebrity, but a member of a royal family of an entire nation who has dedicated his time to military service.. That was impressive. Much respect to that man. It was a little weird seeing the British guys riding all over base on bicycles though lmao. Must be a thing in Britian. It was unusual here haha.

Why would they have to be?

UK fire engines don't routinely carry paramedic-level trained crews like the US and Canada does. They are trained as first responders, but not as 'proper' paramedics.

@@trottergraeme Fire stations are far more numerous than ambulance stations and EVERYONE knows that early access to care has a huge effect on survival rates.

@@ForeverLumoz You cannot be serious when you ask that question.

​@@lindanwfirefighter4973Not sure where you are from but ambulance and firefighter response times are about the same here in Germany.

Its the same for truck drivers.. they have a set amount of hours that they can do in a day. It's done to prevent accidents caused by fatigue. Its not a bad idea. Some people will push themselves to the point where their bodies are literally not able to keep up. Then disasters happen. Its a good thing in my opinion.

@@jonbird6566 But isn't that the conditions under which doctors work in hospitals? They can be extremely fatigued from long shifts, and expected to keep going. How is that safe for anyone?

@@jogrant3851 I agree with you. In a perfect world, they too would be restricted to work only a set number of hours before they had to clock out and get some rest, but the difference between that and transportation, is that there is a much higher potential for loss of life due to a pilot or truck driver falling asleep at the controls, than there is for a doctor sitting on a chair and falling asleep. (you aren't going to fall asleep walking around and assessing patients, and if you do, someone will notice that you passed out) The unfortunate reality is that the medical systems (at least in the US) are painfully understaffed, and the health ramifications of overworked hospital staff is limited to the individuals themselves, and not to others around them. An argument could be made for fatigue and mistakes made, but that's very hard to prove in correlation whereas an accident happening because a driver fell asleep at the wheel is much easier to prove correlation with fatigue.

@@jonbird6566 That makes a lot of good sense when shown that way. I didn't really think that big. Thanks.

@@jogrant3851 Thanks for the open dialogue! We need more of it in our world, and less close-minded arguments. I'm happy to hear other points of view on things and talk things through! Good talking to you 😄

I think so

Who gave him the heart attack?

No, the air ambulance team is the almighty physician!!

If there is such a thing as a god he is an awful designer and an evil and cruel being.

@@jogrant3851They’re very good but to say they’re the almighty physician is blasphemous and a gross overstatement

@@freedomofchoice3606If you believe that you’ve never read the Bible

Hey there Very much depends, nightflight regulations are quite strict - in germany most MedEvacs arent allowed to fly at night.

@@jwhymjonas6863 I work at a trauma center and we get flights in at night. So definitely a little different. But just interesting to hear how things are different in different areas.

Many patients, without 'them' would die before they reach ER, so any delays to stabilse are crucial.
