How to use an AED 

This is very true... Except for the times the AED explicitly tells you to stop/take hands off. The only times this happens would be either when it's analyzing the rhythm (it won't be able to if you're doing compressions) and if/when it gives the "shock advised" instructions. At all other points, including when the pads are being applied if at all possible, you should absolutely be doing high quality chest compressions

​@@ryanc473do the pads have to be touching the skin... do you have to take the shirt off

@@dannysmith9009 yes. It is mandatory that the pads touch the skin. Shirts and bras must be removed

@@colestooksbury ok thanks

Very important precautions to note

The device itself literally gives you instructions lol you do not need this video

@@triple7marc english is not my native languague so listening a tiny speaker like that make me feel unsure if i could understand it clearly but yeah the machine helps

It’s not RU-vid. It’s the content provider deciding to monetize their video

No clean and put back in box. The pads need to be disposed of and replaced, but not the machine. These machines last for years and are expensive.

All AED's are applied to the chest, there is no AED that needs to be applied to the right arm.

There are 2 pads. One goes centre of chest, other goes to left side of rib cage ( below armpit) so that the electric goes through the heart. Nothing goes on right arm.

This explains why I now see AEDs everywhere.

Isn't recommended to do mouth to mouth anymore. We breath out mainly carbon dioxide, not pure oxygen. Plus the small amount of oxygen we expel, isnt sufficiently pushed into the lungs, so research states it doesnt add much, if any real benefit. We already have about 8 to 10 minutes oxygen still stored in the body which is sufficient.

It's actually because they're pretty useful devices lol. And not every medical professional has one like that... Surgeons often don't, though will if they forsee a need for one (i.e. they're checking on post-op patients). A lot of nurses don't have one constantly on them, but I've seen quite a few that do as well. Stethoscopes are just insanely useful. You can hear heart murmurs, breath sounds/wheezing, bowel sounds, etc. Oh, and a lot of respiratory therapists (if not all of them) have one as well, both because, well, breath sounds, and because you can (roughly) tell whether or not someone is properly intubated using a stethoscope. While it's often confirmed with an x-ray, the stethoscope alone can often give a pretty accurate idea of how successful the intubation attempt was if you know what to listen for... It's basically just an all around excellent tool for listening to all the noises the body makes. That's why so many medical professionals wear one around their necks (it's really not a tell as to the level of expertise someone has, given that staff of multiple different training/license/practice levels all use them. Heck, even a medical assistant (which is a fairly bare bones level license) can use one to take a manual blood pressure)

@@ryanc473 Excellent, but lengthy treatise, however that still doesn't explain the wearing of that 'status item' while doing interviews, etc. Watch for it in news broadcasts & movies, etc, and you may see what I mean.
