How to Use a Defibrillator (AED) - First Aid Training - St John Ambulance 

This video couldn’t have come at a better time in my recommendations. A week after watching this video, a man in the bar I work part time in had a cardiac arrest, while doing CPR, I followed all the instructions, I asked someone to get me an AED, everyone looked at me strange, as I am only young, 16, and they didn’t think I’d know how to do it, I got my co worker to continue the CPR as I placed on the pads to shock him, a few seconds later the ambulance arrived and took over. The man survived, and the ambulance crew was surprised at how young I was, telling me that what I did probably saved that mans life. I still see him at the bar from time to time.

Imagine freaking out and trying to administer an AED and you need to sit through a 30 second Spotify premium commercial

I am a living example CPR and AEDs work

Watching this after what happened to Eriksen. My thoughts and prayers are with him right now🙏🏾

Professor Pantridge from Co.Down, Northern Ireland, invented the mobile defibrillator and his invention has saved countless lives all over the world. His work continues to save lives to this day and yet he does not get the credit, appreciation and acknowledgement he deserves. He was a true hero. ❤

This is an example of how important the internet can be. Thanks for the post!

Every supermarket Every gym Every stadium Every mall Should have a machine Fitted as standard This should be the law imo And also at least two members of staff trained to use these machines

We have several of these in my town on Sweden, but everyone think they work like paddles in movies. Thanks, this video made it a bit more clear.

This needs to be shorter and televised at primetime tv ie during xfactor eastenders

just got cpr certified and scheduling a skill test. this helps reinforce the knowledge

I love all your educational videos. Very informative. Easy to follow. Keep going👏

Thank you for making this video

This lesson can save a life

Thank you for your videos. They are very useful for the average small business person.

Please do NOT feel that you are pressing to hard as you are not if ribs crack this just means it is correct and that they can be repaired once casualty is in hospital

As someone who had a cardiac arrest while driving right in front of an ambulance, everyone should be taught how to use these live saving devices. Equally important, these AED's should be widely available within larger shops, supermarkets etc. I was in a coma for 2.5 weeks and that was with the ambulance right in front of me when I died. These devices will save lives, we just need them readily available. Maybe a sign in the Windows of premises which have them etc would help save some lives. Speed is essential to both help save the live, and as important, minimise lack of oxygen to the brain so brain damage is minimal. You will have a degree of brain damage with a cardiac arrest, it's called cerebral hypoxia, impossible not to because the heart has stopped pumping blood and oxygen but fast CPR or AED use will minimise damage. Also note there is a big difference between a heart attack and a cardiac arrest. A cardiac arrest is simple, your dead within seconds. A heart attack means your heart has a critical problem but is working in some form. Learning CPR and using AEDs should be mandatory in secondary education.

Thanks for making this video.

Good presentation, nicely done.

Nice video, I was scanning my sensor before with reader. For the last few months, I have been using Nightrider cgm with my Libre which helps me to monitor glucose readings on phone screen without needing to scan. it's great!

Thanks for this tutorial video.

Thankyou St John's !

Good instruction

I did learn how to use it during my First Aid Class.

This is improving my roblox paramedic shift

it’s so simple 🙇🏻‍♀️💕

Excellent Video.

Excellent video

this is very helpful infact am writing my assignment concerning this... atleast i have an idea thanks alot

Thank you so much sir

Clear and concise instruction. And for the thumbs down to this tutorial I hope you or someone you know never has to go though this.....Just think on that.

This is so helpful 🌎

Best lecture!

Thank you.

Understanding our medical conditions and those of our loved ones as well as the foreknowledge of necessary first aid treatment or response required for understood medical conditions is important and life saving.

Technological advances is impressive ❤

I have never seen an AED outside of its box. I have no idea what it looks like or what it contains. I would have liked this video to show more of the device and make it more familiar. The less familiar we are with things the more frightening and apprehensive people will be about using them. I would have liked the video to show to AED sooner and explain what it actually does and therefore adds logic to the situation. However, all in all, a good video and still informative.

Awesome video

this is a great video

I watched this video as I was worried for a friend I’m always around who has a heart condition and had a minor heart attack yesterday and recovered very fast

I loved your video I never used a defibrillator before and I want to learn how to use a defibrillator because what if a deaf person is in cardiac arrest then I have use a defibrillator for that reason

Thank you

Thank You so much!!

Thank you! ♥️

I feel Videos like that should not have ads in beforehand...

very useful thank u

Why not give demos in shopping malls, or outside sports events.

Good video

Wow 🤩 very smart

Thank u bro, u saved me from getting fired. 🙏

Why doesn't the AED call the ambulance? it has a battery. It has speakers. Why not add a sim card, make it autodial 999 when it decides the patient needs an ambulance and then on loudspeaker whilst you are delivering first aid, you can be on the phone hands free.

🙏🏻 thank you

Nice sir

Excelente

Great news and brill

Thankyou sir

جزاك الله خيرا

it worked!

I am watching this after Christian eriksen incident . My prays for his perfect recovery

I would put a razor in the box with the AED in case casualty has a particulalrly hairy chest.

I had an operation and would need to use one arm/hand doing chest compressions. it there a technique for this. thankyou

this is important

Great

Bravooo brodhers love you tebrikler

StOp COmpReSsing SUSAN, STAND bACk!?!

Imagine you try to save someone's life and you have to watch how to use that life saver thing and do no mistakes and as soon as you found what you need (this video) you get an 20 seconds unskipable AD about how to get rich by investing in brawl-stars LMAO. I hate RU-vid Ads!

nice

I find it grotesque that VAT is charged on the devices.

Nice to hear a familiar bajan voice

AED Saves Lives. ❤

My highschool has real aed and training ones also for students to practice on a mannequin

Had to do cpr once on an older guy. It's absolutely horrible to see a dead person on the floor.

Out of curiosity for if such a situation requires an AED what would be possible locations that should have them on hand for emergencies.

Any low shock therapies to resync an arrhythmia?

This is helping my ROBLOX career, thanks!

Is it okay if we take some screenshots from these tutorials for our app dev ?

Can we address how glorious his accent is

Also, how long can this process go on for? I’ve unfortunately been under one and was shocked to hear that the we’re trying stabilise my heart for 20+ minutes before they could even think about moving me

and medics on buses, train,planes ,submarines light rail, boats ships, ferry rides on boats and space stations and anywhere portablely? Good idea?

This is a great video but are we all gonna ignore the fact that this video had an ad

Lateral pad is poorly placed. Attention to detail is important with pad placement. Should be placed on he mid auxillary line, not the anterior auxillary line as this was.

Imagine the person going into cardiac arrest has a family member or loved one in the ambulance, and the EMTs start watching this video.

15,000 VOLTS, CLEARRRRR!

Can the AED be used if the asi batery indicator is flashing red. We have the lufeline aed.

Did you save him? 😢

♥️

Best

What if you are alone with the person having a cardiac arest just using cpr without aed?

With AED Defibrillator in space stations, submarines, on buses,trains, planes and boat ferrys light rail? In any public places world wide? And renting devices if you cannot buy them would that be a good idea or not? See you later next month nov 2021? Can that work?

Does it matter what pad is placed where? Of course I’m on casualty’s upper right chest and lower left. But out of curiosity, would polarity of shock make a difference?

Awful CPR, really St Johns, her weight is not over the casualty and 5 - 6 cm is not achieved. Great defib demo though.

I was in exam and I can't used an AED because I don't know how to used. Can you advice me how to used it

If you put an extremely well trained paramedic or what have you, with a manual defribulator and an eeg, up against just attaching someone to that bot... which is better?

My wife has a internal defibrillator i have a question if she was in town and no one knew she had one implanted and someone used a defibrillator on her what would happen.

How did you get the AED asap?

Legit got an ad. Imagine looking up a tutorial to save a life only for that to happen

my practical is tomorrow kinda nervous >

if your doing CPR without mouth to mouth and meaning hands on only and doing 100 compressions per minute as adviced i think it was then u attached a AED and the AED says after the shock to continue with compression and administer a breath can u just continue doing hands on like you have been doing until the next shock or pemedics arrive. Or do you have to do compressions and give a breath .i just want to get all the full knowledge of this

Ive always wondered the difference between 999 and 112

Watching this after Christian Eriksen’s cardiac arrest. Praying for him

I would like become an instructor buy dont have conditions to pay for the course
