Would like to thank the makers of these ProTraining videos and the actors/actress in them. They are very helpful for review on Standard First Aid CPR and AED. There accurate, quick, and understandable. Thanks
Went into shock last week after an overdose the ambulance tried everything lifted my legs and lowered my head done nothing could barely stay awake was turning grey was rushed in and treated straight away they said I was really lucky to be alive
When I came through a CERT refresher course with Oceanside CERT for treating shock, they gave us a simple rule: "If pale, then lift the tail. If red, elevate the head." Glad to be watching videos like this again. Hope I can use it somewhere without fear of being arrested. Some places even in the U.S. lack "Good Samaritan" legal protections for rescuers & a rescuer often faces stiffer penalties for helping out than those who cause the emergency!
This video taught me a lot. It also showed me that I am in the wrong EMT school. Took my instructor 2 lectures to explain shock in the human body. This guy does it almost 6 min. 🙁
very good video, thank you. Using it tonight for our boy scout meeting. And for the other person who commented, it is an emergency blanket, not a space blanket. Buy at walmart for about a dollar, put in your first aid kit
We do not "Warm the Body" if we did it would cause the blood vessels to dilate and worsen the condition. We do however cover the body to prevent it from loosing additional heat because as heat is lost so is the ability for blood to clot but we don't want to warm the body.
@MrQuackism You squeeze the fingernails, (test it on yourself) They will go white as blood is forced out. When you remove pressure, then the red colour should rush back into them (with the blood). If the blood takes a long time to refill (capillary refill) ie. The red doesnt return, or the nailbeds are blue/grey. Those are the symptoms of shock.
If the shock is cause by a condition they have would you treat it the same way? For example, Addison's disease. My teacher has it, if she were it go in to shock and I was around, would I do the same thing?
The real hero of all these videos is the guy in the plaid shirt.
Lol

Very useful, thanks
Sorry, how does one knows if that injured person is having slow capillary refill? By looking at the colour of the nails?

I had a ski accident and I’m still shaking
listen to the guy every time he says shock
It sounds like he's saying shack
Welcome to the Chicago/midwestern accent. I'd bet a million dollars this guy's from that area.
Excellent!
I'd love to do a course in First Aid and become qualified!
You don't elevate the legs anymore because it puts pressure on the diaphragm and causes difficulty breathing
