can anyone give me exciting scenarios for when CPR is needed, such as 11 year old male falling off treehouse, unconsious assumed spinal injury, as many as possible please, esspecialy personal stories from experience. Thanks
Answer:
:
Scenario 1:
About 10 years ago my neighbour rang me to tell me he was worried about his wife and could I visit (it was about 1am). I arrived to find her unconscious in her bed. She was on her back vomting - he thought she may have taken something to try to commit suicide. She had also have 2 big glasses of overproof cooking spirits. She started to vomit and was choking - we rolled her on to her side and she vomited repeatedly.
We had called an ambulance by this time.
While waiting for the ambulance she stopped breathing.
We lay her on the floor (needed a hard surface) and couldnt find a pulse in her neck. He was a pilot so he had done first aid.
We started compressions on her chest and he did the breathing part (I wasnt going to breathe into her mouth after she has puked!). This went on for a little while and she started to wake up just as the ambulance arrived. She had a major reaction to the alcohol and this had caused her to stsop breathing and after her heart stopped.
She was taken to hospital and placed on a ventilator. She ended up being fine.
Scenario 2:
Was working in the hospital - pt complained of being dizzy and feeling breathless - I got her some oxygen and grabbed a doctor. She said she needed to do a poop but as she sat up she had diarrhoea which was full of blood.
Her blood clotting ability wasnt working and she was having a major bleed into her bowel and stomach.
She was vomiting blood and the blood dairrhoea continued.
She became unconscious very quickly - we started CPR but she was losing blood too quickly to replace. We gave her lots of transfusions and fluids into her veins but it made no difference. She died from exsanguation (lost all her blood). No point doing CPR if there is no blood to pump around the body.
Scenario 3:
I was at an outdoor market when an old man fell down on the ground unconscious. Another person (a bystander) and I did CPR untiul the ambulance arrived but he died at the hospital.
His heart had a rythym problem and it became so bad that it finally went into a rythym that killed him.
knew a girl who drowned once and was saved by CPR.

heart attack...
It was about 3am and I was driving home from a bar in Hollywood and there was an accident on the freeway that just happened like 5 minutes ago. All the lanes were blocked and we were all forced to drive on the right emergency lane. As soon as I passed by the wreck there was this small two door sports car flipped over and the driver laying on the floor unconscious with another person who I think was involved in the accident giving him CPR. That was probably one of the creepiest things I've ever seen.
A mother's little girl (possibly 3 or 4 years old) was supposedly following her while they were walking on a pool deck. The mother kept on walking, not knowing that something has happened to her daughter. She turned around to pick up her daughter, and realized that she wasn't there. Her daughter had fallen into the pool just near the wall, but she hadn't seen her. No one had seen what happened, so it was as if nothing happened. The mother searched frantically and eventually found her daughter just under the surface of the water at the side of the wall. She pulled her daughter out, she wasn't breathing, so she called the life guard. CPR saved her life.
*True story
lol once me and my friend made fun of a guy in a house while in P.E. and then he puled out a sniper rifle and me and my friend ran behind a classroomand went to see if he put the sniper away and he did then he thretened me and my friend about killing us lol its kinda funny thinking about it and it was a loaded gun while he was talking to us he was taking out the amo
CPR is a skill not a thrill ride
I was coaching Level 1 swim lessons at the pool one day a few years back, when a 3-year old somehow managed to swim away into the deeper end of the pool without my assistant and I noticing. When we realized she was missing, we found her in the 8 feet splashing around and obviously drowning. We immediately got the other children out of the pool and went to get her. We got her out of the pool and she wasn't breathing. We used CPR on her (the way you should for younger children), and after I breathed int her mouth twice, she coughed up the water and for the most part was fine after that.
