THAT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS.
Melanie: SO IF SOMEONE YOU
KNOW HAD A HEART ATTACK RIGHT
THIS MOMENT.
WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO TO
SAVE THEIR LIFE?
CPR AN DRAMATICALLY INCREASE THE
CHANCES OF SURVIVAL, ESPECIALLY
WHEN THERE IS AN AED AVAILABLE.
CPR IS SO IMPORTANT IT IS THE
FIRST STEP.
BUT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE YOU
CAN DO TO HELP.
JOINING ME NOW, Dr. EDWARD
PERAEERA AND HAD TO RECENTLY
SAVE SOMEONE IN THE AIRPORT.
AND ELIZABETH AND KATHERINE,
THEY'RE TRAINED ON USING ALL
THESE LIFE-SAVING TECHNIQUES,
LEADING UP TO OUR TAKE IT TO
HEART DAY WHERE WE BRING
ATTENTION TO HEART AWARENESSWARENESS AND
HEARTH ATTACKS, YOU WERE IN THE
AIRPORT AND THIS HAPPENED TO YOU
AND THE KEY IS THAT IF THERE IS
AN AED IN THE BUILDING WHERE
YOU'RE AT, YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW
WHERE IT IS OR BE ABLE TO TALK
WITH SOMEONE WHO CAN GET IT.
CORRECT.
SO THE RECENT EPISODE WAS A
LAYOVER AT NASH VIFL AIRPORT AND
WAITING TO FLY BACK TO
JACKSONVILLE AND AN ELDERLY MAN
COMING AWE OF THE A PLANE WHO
HAD CARDIAC ARREST IN THE
TERMINAL.
AND SO I RAN AROUND THE CORNER
AND THEY HAD ALREADY ACTIVEVATED
THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM.
THE EARLY RESPONDERS WERE THERE
ARE ASSESSING THE PATIENT AND
OBVIOUSLY HE HAD NO PULSE ASK
WAS UNRESPONSIVE.
I INSTRUCTED THEM TO START CPR
AND IMMEDIATELY ASKED FOR AN AED
BECAUSE I KNEW THAT THE
LIKELIHOOD OF THIS BEING A
SERIOUS HEART RITHIM PROBLEM
THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED
RIGHT AWAY.
SO THE PERSON STANDING NEXT TO
ME ALREADY HAD THE AED IN THEIR
HANDS.
AND SO WHILE THEY WERE DOING THE
CHEST COMPRESSION I INSTRUCTED
THEM AND HELPED THEM TO GET THE
AE DE SET UP.
AND THE DEVICE DID RECOMMEND A
SHOCK AND WE WENT THROUGH THREE
CYCLES OF SHOCKS.
THE PATIENT DID REGAIN A PULSE
AS FIRE RESCUE ARRIVED AND TOOK
HIM TO THE HOSPITAL.
IT WAS GREAT YOU WERE THERE
BUT THAT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE.
IT IS NICE SOMEONE IN THE
BUILDING IS TRAINED TO USE ONE
OF THESE, BUT THANK YOU THAT
ISN'T THE CASE IT IS VERY EASY
TO USE VERY SELF-EXPLANATORY.
ELIZABETH, SHOW US THESE CHEST
COMPRESSIONS THRK IS SOMETHING
THAT EVERYBODY CAN DO.
AND EVEN IF YOU HAVE AN AED
CLOSE BY YOU STILL NEED TO START
THIS FIRST.
EXACTLY.
YOU WANT TO CALL FOR HELP.
YOU WANT TO SAY YOU CALL 911.
GO GET ME AN AED IF THERE IS ONE
AVAILABLE.
AND WHILE THAT PERSON IS GOING
TO GET THE ED.
YOU'RE GOING THE EXPOSE THE
CHEST AFTER YOU DETERMINE THAT
THIS IS AN ADULT THAT IS
UNUNCONSCIOUS AND YOU'RE GOING
THE FIND LOWER HALF OF THE
STERNUM AND START DOING CHEST
COMPRESSIONS THAT ARE EDEEP AND
RAPID AS WELL AS FULLY RELEASING
THE CHEST SO THAT AIR CAN GET
IN.
REMEMBER, WE'RE TALKING NOW
ABOUT.
IT IS EASY.
IT IS A LOT OF WORK, TOO
NICES TO HAVE STWHAWNLS YOU CAN
TRADE OFF WITH IF YOU DON'T HAVE
ACCESS.
IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE
THAT YOU DO NO LONGER HAVE TO
PUT YOUR MOUTH ON ANOTHER
PERSON'S MOUTH.
THAT AIR WILL GO IN TO THE LUNGS
IF YOU RELEASE COMPRESSIONS
FULLY.
LET'S GET YOU GOING.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE JUST PUMPING
AND WE CALLED IN KATHERINE WHO
HAS ACTUALLY THE AED.
YOU WANT TO WALK US THROUGH, YOU
KNOW THIS PROCESS.
SO THE DEVICE ACTUALLY WILL
INSTRUCT YOU HOW TO START THE
PROCESS AND GIVES YOU
INSTRUCTIONS INITIALLY GETTING
THE PADS OUT AND INSTRUCTS YOU
TO ATTACH THE PADS TO THE CHEST.
IMMEDIATELY ATTACH THE PADS TO
THE RIGHT AN TERRIER OF THE
CHEST WALL.
I'M GOING TO HOLD THIS SO
PEOPLE CAN HEAR IT.
SAYS DO NOT TOUCH THE
EXPWREENT SHOCK ADVISED.
CHARGES.
STAND CLEAR OF PATIENT JO THE
THING ABOUT THIS AND WHY WE WANT
TO SHOW IT IS YOU SEE HOW QUICK
LIP IT IS GIVING THOSE
INSTRUCTIONS.
SHOCK DELIVERED.
AND TELL ME, THE PLACES YOU PUT
THE PADS AND ACTUALLY A DIAGRAM
ON THERE.
THERE IS A DIAGRAM AND THE
ONE PAD IS ON THE RIGHT AN
TERRIER CHESTWALL U WALL THE
OTHER IS ON THE LEFT SIDE AND IT
IS SET UP SO THAT THE ENERGY IS
THE WAYWARD ACROSS THE HEART.
IT WILL TELL YOU TO SHOCK
AND THAT IS SIMPLY THE BUTTON.
THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE DEVICE
TO USE.
IT DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY ABILITY
TO INTERPRET THE RHYTHM ON THE
OPERATE OR, IT THE MACHINE DOES
IT IT SELF AND WILL RECOMMEND A
SHOCK OR NOT RECOMMEND A SHOCK.
IT IS A LITTLE INTIMIDATING
I WOULD IMAGINE ESPECIALLY IF
YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TRAINED OR
HAD TO ADMINISTER IT AGAIN.
THIS WILL IS WHAT WILL SAVE A
LIFE.
IF YOU DO NOTHING THIS PERSON
COULD LAY THERE AND DIE WHEN ALL
YOU HAD TO DO WAS GET DOWN THERE
AND DO CHEST COMPRESSIONS.
FOR EVERY ONE MINUTE THAT
GOES BY BEFORE CPR OR
DEFIBRILLATION OCCURS THERE IS
ABOUT APPROXIMATELY A 7 TO 10%
REDUCTION.
AFTER 10 MINUTES THERE IS ALMOST
NO CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.
SO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO GET
CHEST COMPRESSIONS STARTED AND
GET AED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
YOU ALSO POINTED OUT THAT IF
YOU KNOW YOU HAVE SOMEONE AT
RISK IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD THE THIS
IS ACTUALLY A GOOD DEVICE TO
HAVE IN YOUR HOME.
CORRECT, IT IS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I MEAN IT MAY SOUND LIKE A LOT
BUT SITTING HERE AND DOING IT
THE TWO MINUTES SHOWS IT IS
SOMETHING THAT ANY AND EVERYBODY
WHO CAN READ WILL FOLLOW
DIRECTIONS CAN DO.
