Trying to Resuscitate a Young Man Who Drowned Saving His Girlfriend
On the afternoon of 11th May 2019 in Consuelo (Dominican Republic), 23 year old F.S. drowned. 'F' had tried to save his girlfriend from drowning. He had gone into the river, despite not being able to swim, to save the girl he loved. Medics tried to resuscitate him but it was in vain, 'F' had been in the water for an hour.

Brave boy, but not too smart. He demonstrates the power of love.

Re: Trying to Resuscitate a Young Man Who Drowned Saving His Girlfriend
Well, at least they tried. Those compressions look rough, but that’s the correct way to do it if you want to save someone.  |

Re: Trying to Resuscitate a Young Man Who Drowned Saving His Girlfriend
[QUOTE=Zeeta;6360538]Those were some mighty enthusiastic compressions.[/QUOTE This is exactly how you should perform chest compressions. Even though it looks brutal, you NEED to get >5cm to have any real chance at saving a victim...even if it's minuscule, some chance is better than none. I won't lie, performing CPR IRL is not like what you see on TV, and as I've told my grad students when going over basic first aid (I require it for all the staff and students I take), do not stop compressions unless you can feel a pulse. You may feel something give in the victim's chest. Yes, you probably broke one of their ribs, get over it, and keep performing CPR. In a hospital setting, I am not joking that, if you're there long enough, you will see a gurney being sprinted through the halls by a team, with one member literally straddling the patient and performing chest compressions. Don't know how to perform CPR? Stack your hands about 0.7-1.5 hand widths up from the end of the sternum, lock your elbows and use your body weight to compress the chest, and start playing "Satyin' Alive" in your head. It's tempo is about 104 bpm, which is within the range of compressions per minute you should be applying. If someone with proper training arrives, hand things over to them, but stay to help. If no one with training is on scene, step up and take control. While performing compressions, look for an individual who seems physically fit, and in no uncertain terms, tell them to place themselves across from you, and make them watch. CPR is exhausting, but you do not stop. Even if you have no experience prior to this, you'll already have more experience than the person you just voluntold. The sad truth is that, the public has an unrealistic belief about the number of people who walk out of the hospital after an event where the heart stops (asystolic). A study done a few years ago showed that most people thought that the victim recovers around 75% of the time. ...the real number is about 10%...if that. Some chance is better than none though. |
