When my seven-year-old drowned we were all trying to do CPR and I don’t think any of us knew how. I was giving breaths but I didn’t realize that chest compressions were much more important if the person is also in cardiac arrest. If you don’t keep the blood circulating anoxic brain injury happens in MINUTES, so even if the child’s life is saved you now have brain injury on your hands which is a torturous painful experience for the child (see neurostorming). I was told 2 breaths to 30 compressions (!) if you’re alone doing cpr on a child. My son is ok but still recovering months later . I’m one of the rare lucky ones.
Just a little tip: 2 rescuer cpr on a pediatric is actually a 15:2 ratio of compressions to breaths as breaths are slightly more important on pediatrics than adults.
I miss my friend Bhasker who was just 17 when he drowned unfortunately none of us in our group knew what to do we called for ambulance and waited for them to come it took 15-20 mins but it was too late he was gone! Now I know about CPR and hopefully someday it will help someone.
We had to learn this in high school back in the late 80's in Health Class.Then I learned again in my journeyman apprenticeship program for work.Thought I'd never need to use it.Just last summer I used it on a drowned child at a motel pool.He was in the pool alone.Drowning happens so quickly.Had I not stepped outside for a smoke and not learned this the child would be dead.Never think you wont need to know this.You never know until it happens.
My niece almost died at the pools her hair got caught in a filter so she was stuck underwater so it made me realize how knowing this makes the difference
I will learn and apply this, thank you. Me and two of my friends almost died from drowning days ago, one of us is still in the hospital. We went to the ocean for a swim knowing it is very very windy, and the weather is clearly not nice. Thank God, we were saved from the men playing basketball near the ocean.
This helped me a lot because my sister suffers from Anxiety and Depression and was dying her hair and almost put her head in a sink full of water so I wanted to learn this just in case anything like this were to actually happen but this, of course, will help other people, thankyou
Last summer at the beach I witnessed many drownings and even a death. He started to vomit a white bubbly fluid and I wanted to help him but I was unsure about my skills and did not want to accidentally make it worse but now I will try. Thank you for sharing this with the internet. 🙏
🥺wish I knew this a year or 2 ago. Especially the part where we turn them over. My older brother saved a random teen from the beach & unfortunately not alot of people on that big beach knew how to do the proper CPR 😭 the ones who stepped in tried their best to till EMS arrived but it was one of those unfortunate outcomes🥺 God bless her soul.
Just a curious question. When I was younger and CPR was first becoming something more widely known to the public as a rescue option, I recall that in the cases of people drowning, the first step was to turn them on their side and push on the back to get the water out of their lungs. Is this no longer a thing???
I noticed those chest compressions were very quick. a while ago I seen somewhere else that the chest compressions must be done to a steady beat. to be exact, they must be done to the beat of staying alive by the bee gees. was this information I saw a while ago incorrect or has the CPR procedure just changed since then?
@@tpwk6861 it’s 100-120 compressions a minute. At the end of the day compressions are compressions. The depth varies by adult and children but the speed of compressions are all the same.
Thank you. I hope I will never have to apply this knowledge. But before going on a beach vacation I fell it is necessary to learn about what to do in the worst case scenario
Your awesome man thanks for this video, I've never had to do this, hopefully will never have too. Wish they had affordable simulator with real water inside where you could practice until you succeed.
I want to learn how to do CPR just in case I'll be put in a situation, I just don't want to stand up and do nothing while someone is in a need of help, thus, I want to have knowledge on how to do it.
This is a pretty accurate video, but I see that the chest compressions are fast. In my lifeguarding training, I was taught to say "1 and 2 and 3 (etc, only when we reach 11 we stop saying the word "and")", "1" being the push onto the chest & the word "and(or the "teen" as in thirteen)" pulling it back. When trying to count the compressions it just felt way too fast for me, I do know that it has to be faster than 1 compression per second but still. Please tell me if I am wrong in any way.
Classic CPR is about the tempo of stayin alive - bee gees. You want to ensure proper rate and depth of compressions because you want oxygenated blood to circulate. I don’t know if this man’s compression rate is just for demonstrating purposes or because cpr is used differently on a drowning victim, but my guess would be to stick with 100-120 compressions per minute
@@OrtizIndustries I totally agree with you on how you want to give time to for the oxygenated blood to circulate. I feel that the demonstration would be very misleading, especially on a help video of how to do cpr on a drowning victim.
Hi Sir, just want to clarify, what do you mean by giving two breath? are you supplying air to the drowned person or suctioning the air from the mouth of the drowned person to help the water comes out? just a clarification😊 #respectcomment
Hi Mike! To perform the breaths, tilt the individuals head, lift their chin, and plug their nose. You then put two breaths in before moving to compressions.
Just saw a video of a drowned girl who survived from CPR and having her head tilted to the side and a bunch of water came out multiple times. Not sure if it was from the lungs or not but seems kind of dumb to have their head facing up. Then again I'm not a doctor 🤷
For every imbecile out there filming TikTok and selfies there are plenty of us that care try to learn and make a positive impact. We just get bombarded with non important stuff.
Why didn't he show the breathing into the mouth part ? Showing chest compressions on a rubber dummy is one thing, doing it on a real person with chest bones is another. Often ribs are broken.
Breaths are not as Important as chest compressionS.. especially due to COVID. the most important thing is to keep the blood flowing by doing chest compressions, it can can still be successful without breaths. 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep for adults 1 1/2 for kids and 1 inch feel for infant's.
Never lay them face down. Lay them on their side. Always perform M2M first as they are in need of oxygen. Putting them on their side allows them to vomit
Need to check if airway is clear first before m2m starts or you can make things worse if there is an object restricting the airway the object ends up going further down the throat if it is all clear then you start m2m
@@nzfalcon8698 sir, if we are giving respiratory support by mouth to the victim, are we giving the victim oxygen or carbondioxide ? Or do we have to take air by mouth first then straight to give him airblow immediately.
Imagine someone came here in emergency because their child is in a life or death situation....only to go through your initial 1:30 minutes of nicely groomed, politically correct blah, blah blah....
