Picture yourself at the mall or a family gathering and someone collapses . . What do you do?
This 2 minute video will explain a new way to save lives developed by doctors at the Mayo Clinic. It is easier to do and you don't need to blow in someones mouth. You really should watch this video.
Continuous Chest Compressions
This was a very good video. When I worked in the emergency room, we would do this. There was of course one person for each thing that needed to be done, so it was a lot easier. It is amazing to watch the monitors as you do the chest compressions. You can tell that it is working and you don't want to stop until then can do it on their own. This is something that would be great for everyone to watch and know.
ReplyDeleteThe video contained some great information as to why continuous chest compression works better than regular CPR. If it were me I would blow into the patients mouth as the regular CPR suggests. I really enjoyed learning this new method.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of Continuous Chest Compression CPR but after watching the video it makes a lot of sense. I can see how getting continuous blood flow to the brain can save someones life and I am glad I watched this video and am interested in learning more about Continous Chest Compression.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great video to watch. I know I've taken CPR classes, but it's still easy to forget the ratio for breaths and chest compressions; this is definitely a good method especially when you're freaking out and can't remember that ratio. Better to know that you're still helping just by giving chest compressions, then to think you aren't helping at all trying to remember the standard form of CPR.
ReplyDeleteI watched this one just because you never know when someone can collapse. It'd be a great feeling to actually save someone’s life.
ReplyDeleteI've also taken CPR classes and this is so much more simple. Good to know I really don't need to do mouth to mouth. I guess it's a germ fetish I have. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteI've actually heard of this kind of CPR before. When I took CPR in high school my teacher predicted that they would change CPR to this in the future, and told us not to worry about remebering rates or counting compressions but to push and blow. It is interesting to see how the medical community is simplifying CPR to the general public, because it does make people feel more at ease and comfortable performing CPR in an emergency.
ReplyDeleteMy sister actually told me about CCR about a year or so ago. She works for the U of U hospital and they have already undergone training for this. The doctors that she works with said like the video did that it is more important to get blood flow to the brain and throughout the body, so there is no brain damage. I am a CNA and have had a lot of CPR training, and for those who aren't trained I agree with the posts above that it will be easier for the general public to remember to just do chest compressions.
ReplyDeleteI'd learned the regular CPR a couple years ago and because of lack of use and complexity, I'd forgotten how to do it. This video easily explained what to do and how it is more beneficial to do the continuous chest compression than the regular CPR in most cases. The way the movie explained the benefits of Continuous Chest Compression make sense and is easy to remember.
ReplyDeleteThis is something very new to me. I have known for CPR for a few years and this is something I have never before heard. It makes a lot of sense to keep the pressure of the blood high and the blood continuously flowing to the brain. Smart!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an important thing for people to know. You never know when you will be faced with a life or deat situation, so you always need to be prepared to face it!
