As a retired Army nurse of many years, I've never heard this expressed so beautifully! Thank you for your wisdom, expert knowledge and clinical skills, most of all, your compassion and generosity of spirit.Outstanding ♥️
Thank you for this. I had this happen to me last week. I tried to save a woman from drowning. I did cpr with rescue breaths for over 30 minutes until the paramedics arrived, sadly she died. I felt I had failed and have had flashbacks and thoughts of what if I had done this or that. Your video has moved me very much.
What an amazing speaker. I was recently certified in First Aid and Basic Life Support, and I think that the message in this video is definitely something that should be emphasized in ALL relevant training programs.
Thanks for making this. I worked in an ER and had to deal with expectant patients, none of whom survived after CPR. The one time I used it on a somewhat healthy person, my dad, he recovered. Thanks for explaining this.
"Their last experience was that of love..... That is the greatest gift one human being could give another." Beautiful, just beautiful. Love to you and your kind words, From A Grieving Momma.
I am one of these people. I am a healthcare worker and given my dad cpr when he had an arrest. the deed didn't save him though and there's this unexplained emotion I felt up to this day. this message is really consoling. thank you
Thank you. I'll never forget the day I did CPR on my team member when he had a terrible accident. I felt so sad he died, and so sad for his family. I also knew there was nothing more we could have done, but at least we tried.
Thank you for your service, and for this message. It meant a lot to me. If you’ve given CPR and are struggling, and you haven’t sought professional help, I encourage you to do that as soon as you can. For some people, it doesn’t get much easier if you try to just “push through it,” or if you feel like those around you can’t understand. The message this man gave is so accurate, and I didn’t realize it for a long time. You did something amazing, and you have strength and courage. Thank you again.
Thank you.. watching this after i gave CPR while the paramedic came..The stanger died , i tried my best... been having bad flashbacks... came here for comfort.. thank you
Gts from Australia, i had to reach out to you as i have experienced the same. Do not be afraid to speak to a professional. You put yourself out there to help a total stranger. You gave them the best chance of survival however , the outcome is out of our control . You are not alone & I hope you find peace and comfort soon , sending you love &compassion
@@alanreynolds8843 Thank you so much, flash backs are not so regular and i spoke to a colleague, she had been nursing for over 30 years, she sat with me and we had a debrief, I am a second year nursing student in the UK, i used the experience to reflect apon and The stranger definitely has helped me to grow.
Thank you so much for theses videos. I am watching them all. unfortunately I was at an auto accident, there was 2 young girls in one car and i woman and a passenger in another suv. The car was t boned trying to make a left turn at an intersection. There was no breaks applied it was full force at probably speed limit 40 MPH. Enough force to move both vehicles completely out of the intersection. No matter what we did or did not do its was just to bad of an accident and one of the girls died at the hospital an hour after she arrived. I keep thinking maybe I should have done better, So i went out and bought all the tools to do better and here i am learning off you and I am going to the local fire department to see if i can get more training. I am AED/CPR certified but the more knowledge and more abilities the better. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I have been dealing with this very subject. I work in the medical field, and have never been taught this. After my father collapsed from chemo, i vowed to never do CPR again, since I couldn’t save him. As my BLS certification has come due once more, I have found myself in therapy for PTSD since it has put me in fear of saving others. But this video has shown a new light on the subject, and I am grateful to ponder a different view. I wish they would teach us all about CPR after effects, and what you have explained in this video, as part of our training.
Holy mackeral ...I came looking to catchup on my CPR.........I ended up instead in tears.... Thank you very much, I now have a better perspective of CPR and any life I may try to save.
Thank you, it feels horrible when someone dies in your arms, Your reasoning is very logical and sawn, It's about giving another chance and you try your best to help . Best regards...
You gave me confidence in saving people I'm not certified nor I had classes I watch videos and study read because I really want to save lives and your videos seem to be most helpful and motivating ones thank you really much
Thank you for this post. It has only been a few days since I had to perform cpr on a complete stranger who collapsed in front of me. Luckily another person joined me and we performed CPR for roughly 15 minutes before help arrived. Unfortunately he did not make it. I cannot help but wonder if I did everything that could be done. Were the compressions started quickly enough, was the rescue breaths enough, did I go fast enough. In the end, I have to accept that at that moment we were the best chance that the gentleman had to survive. We were there and trying to the best of our abilities.
Thank you so much for this video. Two of us performed cpr for 15 mins on an individual who expired. Paramedics came and after they brought him back to life. His family was able to come visit him. He passed away a day or two after that. It hit me so hard that I’m on stress leave currently. Thank-you again and keep up the good work. I will always give someone the best chance of survival until they have proven me wrong.
Thank you so much for thoses words of encouragement. I've have lost 2 patience while trying to save their life. One was a family member and when that happened I've felt like giving up in the medical field. Someone told me to always appreciate and be grateful for the people you help to survived...
I actually had to perform CPR on my neighbor 5 hours ago and they have been my neighbor since I was 6 years old and ow i`m 49, his son just knocked n my door 30 minutes and thanked me for trying to save his dads life but he passed away with a heart attack. As soon as he told me my heart dropped and felt like I failed them, the guilt feeling I didn`t do enough or try hard enough. Thank you so much for this video, i`m glad I found it and you have explained a lot that makes me feel much better about what I did and I am glad I was around to do what I can the best I could. Thank You!!! Be safe and always take care!!!
Yesterday aftrernoon I was doing CPR to my brother-in-law with the help of his mother till EMS arrived. We failed. It's just heartbreaking. Sorry for my poor English.
Sorry for your loss . Same thing happened to me 2 years ago . I do feel your pain . Be kind to yourselves. You did not fail. The success is in the attempt but the outcome is out of your control. I hope you find peace
It didn’t click until just now that even though The base of your palm is placed in a sort of soft spot. You’re still using the sternum to pump their heart. I’m not an auditory learner, and I know you get this a lot but wowy zowy that makes you a fantastic educator! You’ve got a real talent!
Incredible video. Thank you for sharing. Here I am taking your excellent BLS class when this tear jerker comes onto my screen. All quality and class! Sincerely.
As someone who was clinically dead for a little over a min due to an overdose, I'm glad someone knew what they were doing. Still remember being taken into the ambulance, my then gf crying her eyes out thinking i was already a gonner. Great times lol
06:40 i really apprecirte this video. will be linking this to all my students. ive failed first relation family member and i think it got better over the last three years. i hope the next 3 yrs will ease the pain further 🙏🙏
I lost my wife last year. She had a biventricular ICD pacemaker put in 7 months prior to her death, she had several cyanotic and shaking episodes but no cause found. I am a former public safety and medic. Took Paramedics over 10 minutes to get here and I was going back and forth from my wife to door every minute. At 10th minute, she was not responsive and I started CPR and Rescue breaths (that's how I am trained). Turned out after all of that and paramedics arrived did get a heartbeat going but when I go to hospital she was brain dead. They also found a subarachnoid Hemorrhage at autopsy. I have been struggling with what I did or did not do soon enough. I was told they could not see hemorrhage on CT, that it must have occurred after death, which makes no sense to me. I am clearly still struggling with this, trying to logically explain this so I can accept it. I am still not sure I did enough soon enough but this video helps me a little bit to find some peace with myself. I now understand that CPR at clinical death only slows down biological death, which may have been occuring at the same time as the hemorrhage that was going on. The doctors said that I should not blame myself that they would have been in the same position without all the drugs and the defibrillator to stimulate the heart. In time I will try to find peace with this but this does help me a bit and I hope it helps others too. They don't teach this in CPR/AED, EMS, Paramedic school but they should.
Happened with my dog, just plopped over. Tried to do compressions but it was too late. I was confused because i thought i could save her but this explained a lot. I was just buying time. We think she had a heart attack or stroke. Great pup. It was just her time. Thanks for the videos.
It is that moment when you have been pumping away for what seems like an age with the relative looking on that you simply must stop & look across at the relative because the situation is at an end...
Excuse me, ProCPR, please answer this question: What does CPR stand for? Also, I have to say something about you. It’s for you. Just for you. You are the best medical RUclips channel ever. The way you teach us about our lives, medical conditions and when to call the ambulance with the phone number 911 is just wonderful, it’s so helpful. You’re a great RUclips channel to us. We love you. Could you please pin me?
A month ago to this day I lost my brother (34) to whom I grew up with and have been living with my whole life (I'm 28)..I feel so guilty it's doing my head in..I rushed to his room to see him asking for help, I tried to perform CPR while on call with the ambulance but sadly I failed him 😭 I find abit of comfort in this video but I still feel guilty.. this will take time to get over
That's not actually what I was asking. I was asking when as in do I perform CPR if they were in the water possibly drowned. Or what if they were hit by a car. Or what if they were shot?
This happened to me today. He had no pulse, but the emts showed up shortly after I started and put the aed pads on him. He was blue and his tounge was white. He was a coworker of mine. Found out he died at the hospital an hour or two later
I accept this, I was taught correctly In class's, but not as much as what he said, but underlying he's true, the person can die from doing cpr its a 50/50 % chance ,godbless whoever it is whoever saves your life, but thank-you
i believe so, bc once you have it you have a chance of getting another (if you don't take your heart medications). kinda like ankle sprains; once you get it, you become prone to it (if you don't strengthen it after being immobilized for awhile lol).
CPR works in what percentage of cases when done by a paramedic? I saw a study showing that only 2% of patients survived 30 day or more after a heart attack. Also most MDs provide medical directives not to conduct CPR in case of heart attack. Great video
As a retired Army nurse of many years, I've never heard this expressed so beautifully! Thank you for your wisdom, expert knowledge and clinical skills, most of all, your compassion and generosity of spirit.Outstanding ♥️

A sensitive, yet compelling, statement of a complex problem.
I was close to death and I could hear the paramedic trying to wake me up until I was unconscious. I am so greatful❤
What happened to you?
I'm glad you made this video. Doesn't get talked a lot outside of the stuff medical community (physicians, at least). Thank you.

So true. Thanks man. Much easier now. I started old lady when she stopped in ICU and was so happy. And later that day she still died.
Mr. Roy! What a gift for all of Us in the world! To know your professional look at CPR in general especialy for trainers! Thank you very much!
7:24 so beautiful because i felt like i failed my dad doing cpr because i actually did it wrong
Can you tell us what you did wrong so we can learn?
Great words! Now I know that I will do my best to try to over come my fear of doing something wrong and give a person the chance to live one more time
It is the most beautiful video I have ever seen. I'm starting my life as a Firefighter/EMT and this is a very very motivational video.
As someone who was clinically dead for a little over a min due to an overdose, I'm glad someone knew what they were doing. Still remember being taken into the ambulance, my then gf crying her eyes out thinking i was already a gonner. Great times lol
Glad you’re still with us

Sorry for your loss, hope God will give you peace and comfort during this difficult time
Sorry for your loss ❤️
I bet it's hard to watch a infant in cardiac arrest especially if you can't save them.
Bryanna Gates I've been through that, and It sucks to see an infant die of sca
Worst of worst. Elder people deaths are less traumatic. (((
That's not actually what I was asking. I was asking when as in do I perform CPR if they were in the water possibly drowned. Or what if they were hit by a car. Or what if they were shot?
This happened to me today. He had no pulse, but the emts showed up shortly after I started and put the aed pads on him. He was blue and his tounge was white. He was a coworker of mine. Found out he died at the hospital an hour or two later

By the person I meant person who is doing cpr on a person who needs it
Why is it that when the emt's came they didnt do cpr why? No defribelator either?
a possible explanation is obvious signs of death
Is it true that cardiac arrest reduces your life expectancy, like A LOT?
i believe so, bc once you have it you have a chance of getting another (if you don't take your heart medications). kinda like ankle sprains; once you get it, you become prone to it (if you don't strengthen it after being immobilized for awhile lol).
True it can hurt ur ribs but my great grandma was in age...
CPR did not work on my mom because they could not get air into her because her lungs were filled with fluid
I’m so sorry for your loss..
I’m sorry for your loss

so we dont do CPR if person is having heart attack? Can u explain more please?
