00:11.675 --> 00:15.425
(slow electric guitar music)

00:25.969 --> 00:29.410
- I went for a pulse on
his wrist, had nothing.

00:29.410 --> 00:32.130
His chest wasn't moving,
so there was no airflow.

00:32.130 --> 00:34.800
Couldn't hear anything
in his mouth and then

00:34.800 --> 00:37.890
checked his throat for a pulse as well

00:37.890 --> 00:39.760
and there was nothing going on there.

00:39.760 --> 00:42.247
So my first thought was, "Oh, this guy

00:42.247 --> 00:44.367
"is in a pretty bad way."

00:46.650 --> 00:50.090
I went ahead and I did, it's
called just a sternum rub.

00:50.090 --> 00:51.270
You just use your knuckles and you just

00:51.270 --> 00:53.090
rub real hard on the chest and you try

00:53.090 --> 00:55.340
to get a vagal response from them.

00:55.340 --> 00:57.437
Got nothing there either, so I was like,

00:57.437 --> 00:59.000
"I guess it's time to go to work,"

00:59.000 --> 01:02.133
and started running
compressions on his chest.

01:04.380 --> 01:06.490
Got through about 30 compressions

01:06.490 --> 01:08.470
and pretty much broke all of his ribs,

01:08.470 --> 01:11.083
which is really unfortunate for him.

01:12.530 --> 01:15.530
Still no pulse, still no respiration.

01:15.530 --> 01:16.850
And I was like, "Dang, I'm gonna have

01:16.850 --> 01:18.350
to give this guy mouth-to-mouth."

01:18.350 --> 01:20.080
That's not technically
part of our curriculum,

01:20.080 --> 01:21.317
but in my mind set, I'm like,

01:21.317 --> 01:22.977
"This guy doesn't have any oxygen flow.

01:22.977 --> 01:25.927
"If his heart's beating,
he's still gonna be

01:25.927 --> 01:28.177
"worse for wear if he
does come back around."

01:29.690 --> 01:33.080
As I was adjusting to go
ahead for mouth-to-mouth,

01:33.080 --> 01:35.150
I saw his neck just twitch
out of the corner of my eye

01:35.150 --> 01:37.850
and I was like, "Oh shoot," somewhat

01:37.850 --> 01:39.550
and I felt for a pulse and I got

01:39.550 --> 01:41.240
two really faint beats, so I just

01:41.240 --> 01:42.210
kept up with the respirations,

01:42.210 --> 01:43.900
I could hear the ambulance coming, sirens,

01:43.900 --> 01:46.210
so kept up for another about 45 seconds

01:46.210 --> 01:47.880
and they got there.

01:47.880 --> 01:50.490
Put the guy on the AED, the defibrillator

01:50.490 --> 01:52.390
and it read that he had a pulse again.

02:02.089 --> 02:04.014
(applause)
