Wife saves husband's life with CPR ❤️ | Ambulance - BBC 

I am a First Aid Instructor. I tell my participants to not worry if they break a rib doing CPR. If the patient comes back to you later complains about you breaking their ribs, just tell them "You're Welcome".

My god yes. The old lady must have been so strong and determined!😮 They say if the patients ribs havent been broken ..then the cpr likely wasnt done right ... Thats how hard you press .. Put your whole upper body weight on the patients chest Take in turns with someone else as its hard work ..even if its a stranger ..get help ... My late father survived one heart attack He told me he felt like he had been run over by a bus !😮 He was in alot of chest pain after ... ..but at least paramedics saved his life .

​@Morgan-yl3ou It's a load of rubbish when people say well if you have not broken a rib while doing CPR then you not doing it properly. You can do very good CPR without breaking a rib, and it all depends on the age of the patient if your doing CPR on someone over 70 and it's a woman your more than likely will break a rib. One because of her age and two because of her bones being a lot weaker than some fit 50-year-old men whose bones are a lot denser. So please stop spreading this crap I have done well over 30 Cardiac arrests and I can tell you just how many of them I felt the ribs go and it's not a nice feeling or sound it's horrible but your there to do a job at the end of the day. It's hard enough to get people to step up and do CPR in the 1st place without people putting them off even move with this rib crap. Am glad your late father survived a heart attack, just one thing a heart attack and a cardiac arrest are two very different things.

God bless you, I can relate with being disabled. My sister is my caregiver and she was a rock when dad had his last heart attack. There was no way I could have gotten on the floor to help him. I dont like being alone for long periods of time with my mother. She's elderly and I'm afraid if something happened I would be totally helpless to do anything for her. She is a strong lady and still very active. She has been through so much the last few years. I love her so very much 💓

@@ThepPixel - Did they have a TV crew at home???

They’re not slow; you just can’t panic in a situation like that. Panicking is worse

@@JAB2010 i know what do u mean, but just check the drivers of the ambulance

​​@@LKESBOtwo things here. The ambulance is a 5 ton van and despite what you may think they don't actually go very fast (and don't handle well enough to be driven fast even if they did). Also, good emergency driving seldom looks truly fast - they get there faster because they are good at planning ahead and reading the road meaning they can keep a constant, but still safe, speed through traffic, instead of hooning about everywhere. Lastly, the response cars are the quick ones, and often arrive a good few minutes before the ambulance does. Don't be fooled by it looking slow, they are exceptional drivers. Just very calm and smooth even under pressure.

Youre taught never to run, if you fall it could be VERY bad.

That's a horrible thing to say, Im sure that was the last thing on her mind

Yeah that's horrible
