Re: Woman Was Run Over After Losing Balance and Falling From Car
The people in the video say she wasn't run over. It looks to me like she fell upside down and broke her neck.

Look at the video uploaded by kellyhound (post #18). You can see the black vehicle running her over.

Re: Woman Was Run Over After Losing Balance and Falling From Car
EMT here. Agonal breathing like we see here doesn't necessarily mean a patient is beyond help, but it does mean they're circling the drain. Generally speaking, the effectiveness of chest compressions alone would depend on the cause and severity of trauma the patient sustained. In this case, it may have bought her some time, but she needed to be stabilized and intubated as well. If you focus in on her breastplate you can tell her chest cavity is nearly completely caved in, which would limit the usefulness of chest compressions. It looks like the black car drove right over her left shoulder, dislocating it and likely crushing and forcefully rearranging anything in that general area (heart, lungs, major arteries, etc.) If she were an organ donor, CPR could be used to give doctors time to figure out if anything is viable for transplant though. |
