Learn Sarver Heart Center’s Continuous Chest Compression CPR
Sarver Heart Center’s newest video makes it easy to learn Continuous Chest Compression CPR. Every three days, more Americans die from sudden cardiac arrest than the number who died in the 9-11 attacks. You can lessen this recurring loss by learning this hands-only CPR method that doubles a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. Watch physician researchers Gordon A. Ewy, MD, and Karl Kern, MD, demonstrate the easy, life-saving method that they developed at the University of Arizona College of Medicine.

Alright, I can see how this works but my problem is that they said you don't check for a pulse or clear the airway. If you have a pulse you don't need chest compression, you need oxygen. And for me to get oxygen to you, chest compressions or not, you need a clear airway.

The creators of this method also hope to stop people from deciding if someone is alive (and thus worth starting CPR) or not by just automatically starting chest compression. An estimated 10% of people who have a heart attack that can be saved by CPR are declared dead on the scene by people who are not trained to declare someone dead. Basically innocent bystanders kill 10% of savable heart attack victims. Another 20% of people are killed because potential lifesavers don't want to lock lips with a disgusting looking or smelling individual, so they let someone die because their personal hygienic or appearance are less than perfect. Removing the possibility of bodily fluid transfer increases the amount of people who are willing to attempt CPR immensely. Moral of the story: a shit load of people die needlessly because other folks are too stupid or vein to help, and this is designed to increase the number of people who survive a heart attack by increasing the number of attempts at CPR, while sacrificing a much smaller number of people who become brain damaged because of oxygen starvation to the brain. |
I've always started with chest compressions. Most people I've seen start with compressions despite that in many states you were suppose to do ABC (airway, breathing, circulation). As in make sure the airway is clear, get the preson breathing, and then get hte blood moving. To do that in real life I feel wastes time.
Of course, half the time I show up to an arrest the person basically died a long time ago becuase people are just standing around (even in nursing homes). If they do come back (very rare) they may live for a few days. I did have a full save that I did off duty. Best song that I was taught to was "another bites the dust". Perfect rhythem. |
Thanks for posting this!

I always wear a condom when doing CPR.
This needs to be taught in school. Even if Chardonnay doesn't learn her math, at least she may be able to save a life. http://www.demotivation.us/media/dem...0667230646.jpg |

The other thing that helps now is the availability of AED's. what usualy kills a person who has an MI is a fatal arrhythmia (ie ventricular tachycardia) if they have a shockable rhythm the aed may be able to get you back to a normal sinus rhythm and at least buy some time beofre paramedics arrive.
