Good vid. AEDs are very straight forward, but still it is surprising still how many ppl are completely mindless and don't follow the voice prompt... or they place the pads in completely the wrong spot.

[@bunkman64]

If you don't know how fast to apply compressions, sing the Bee Gees song "Staying Alive" in your head and compress to the beat. Sounds like a joke but it works.

Lies again? Taco Madness Delicious Food

[@Timmysyt]

Its real​@@NazriB

[@srinivasan29]

When I was afraid, I was petrified.

[@maclac48]

Thank U for sharing. I have no idea why I searched this, but I’m glad that I did. 🙏🏿

[@chilling_at_pontiff]

Idk why i find it so cool that these exist. Just imagine you are unconscious and you come back with an intense burst of energy and pain and hear a robotic voice say "shock two delivered" . The fact we can manipulate that our bodies run on electricity is pretty wild.

[@julianadamico4702]

She said tap them on the shoulder and ask them if they're okay ..but she was supposed to say take their pulse and see if their heart is beating ;and check to see if they're breathing..

[@animalsareourangels93]

Thank you! What a great refresher! I have my CPR from the Canadian Red Cross! Thank you again!

[@hensleeworsham3174]

BEST VIDEO by Far!!

[@BigstickNick]

I've had first training via the Navy. ..had no idea how to use this. Are these seen as a last ditch effort?

[@zebaahmad3777]

Lost my brother to this ….. he was 52 , wish we knew how to do cpr

[@rozezeal]

It’s horrifying that cpr will commonly break ribs and that needs to happen to help them

[@minoena]

Better than dying

[@ro992]

Did you check for a pulse, initially ??

[@robmilne67]

A lot of agencies now don’t take a pulse check anymore. They did a study a found that about 45% of people couldn’t find one. She should have checked for breathing though.

[@notleks2411]

Imagine putting ads on a video that teaches you how to save someone's life.

[@manfredman5075]

Might want to check for pulse first and not just check for response. Would not be good to use a defibrillator if person is unconscious but has a pulse.

[@weeeeelp]

It's an AUTOMATED defibrillator, these will NOT apply a shock if it's not necessary. That's what the "Analyzing" part does. There is zero harm in using this even if the patient does not require it.

[@americanpaisareturns9051]

Very good.

[@user-bd3rp4zt7b]

what do you do if no aed is near by

[@charlottepaul4195]

While AED charging we have to save the precious time and continue chest compressions.only while analyzing rythm and while delivering shock we have to STAY CLEAR..

[@julianadamico4702]

She did the heart compressions too fast in the video. You're supposed to count them like this...... Mary 1 ,Mary 2, Mary 3, Mary 4..... continue
.

[@x2malandy]

Nice.

[@Dineeshdas87]

NO BREATH CHECKING ,NO PULSE CHECKING NO INFORMATION ABOUT HOW MANY COMPRESSSION AND BREATH

[@dannyplays2847]

Just to let u know that’s it 999 in English

[@julianadamico4702]

Danny ----- you mean in the English language ......or it's 999 in the UK ?

[@raptor8177]

Thank you . I hope I never have to use this on someone

[@Krishna-rm2hf]

Cuz

[@asifkhaled6198]

Not clearly stated

[@ujjaldutta6694]

No

[@chamaraamanda9148]

your cpr is very bad

[@FRANKSNAKE71]

Hand position was incorrect

[@robmilne67]

Yes, hand position in the wrong place and didn’t check for breathing

[@Joyj414]

She’s the wrong person to give these instructions 😅 they should have chosen someone else

[@wren6003]

push hard and fast uwu

[@evab100official]

wooo oh yeah 😏

[@jwizzo]

😳

[@user-ot6oc7mk1s]

[@bot_haydo5076]

[@ervingerebenes1345]

😂😂😂😂 you are so wrong😂😂😂😂

[@xguy592]

❌❌❌ As a 68 yo, I would prefer a bullet betwix my eyes while I'm unconscious❗️I've had a good ride and did a lot of pane ( windowpane ) in New Orleans. ✔️‼️✔️

[@xguy592]

RIP Tom Petty.... We be psychedelisized into infinity :-)

[@deboragetachew9688]
