For a man's heart to have to be shocked that many times and still survive is absolutely a miracle!

[@jadebirrd]

Wow. The longest CPR I saw a patient survive was just over 60 minutes. He had a significant brain injury from lack of oxygen and left hospital in a wheelchair after a 3 month icu stay. I've never seen or heard of a patient who survived being in arrest for that long, been shocked over 20 times, and lived. The fact that he got to go home, with minor if any disabilities, is a miracle. Great work from the team. Damn

[@debbie6712]

WOW, I thought Tim passed away? I'm happy for him and his family that he survived thanks to the Air Ambulance team for not giving up.

[@HeatherfromAmerica]

The Hungarian doctor is excellent. Love from America. That cardiac arrest save was a miracle.

[@davidcarp1034]

that's a true friend right there - getting the close up shot of the dismembered foot for his buddy when he wakes up in hospital

[@jogrant3851]

Air ambulance teams are just amazing, so much pressure and responsibility, and they keep on doing it, saving so many people who would have died without them getting there. And yes, kudos to the Hungarian doctor for his determination, I hope he never changes. Love seeing the teams in action and it really puts life into perspective.

Wow....the stuff they show is borderline gory but i cant get enough.lol What a great surprise that tim survived and instead of calling 911 he text his wife to say "i think im dying but i love you"!!! Happy new years everyone

[@missd369]

My friend had a similar injury from a bad landing on a motorbike jump. He didn't crash and even rode the bike over to the medical tent. The full impact of the landing went into his foot, turning everything from mid-shin down into dozens of pieces of bone shrapnel. They should have amputated, but tried some stupid heroic surgery. He was left in constant pain and never walked on it again.

[@shaz_66]

It's incredible that Tim survived! What dedicated people to have persevered with the shocking and chest compressions. Heros!

[@lisamarieashby2523]

It was that automatic chest compressor that kept Tim alive. It is not likely that the group would have kept trying for so long if they had to keep doing manual chest compressions. I am not criticizing anyone or how they did their job! But to keep CPR going for over an hour, by hand, would be utterly exhausting. I have never seen an auto chest compressor before. I am in USA. Do we have those here?

[@sandrajhall2242]

Yes.

[@allfortheebchildren6561]

Yep, in the US it’s called a “LUCAS”

[@pamosb7940]

Yes. My dad was put on one. His heart kept stopping.

[@awilson72]

Yes. I have an autopulse on every unit of mine just like this video.

[@Axelsmom]

What is really cool about the LUCAS is that it sits further up on the chest and the patients hands can be attached to it. It kind of looks like they are hugging it.

[@jonbird6566]

I really appreciate that they don't censor much. I understand that the average person is squeamish about seeing this, but there are plenty of people, just like the first responders, who aren't and can appreciate the visual context. I don't seek gore, but it's a part of reality, and it is something that we have become too sensitive about as a society. I appreciate that this show is the first that I have seen to include that context. It is real. It is genuine. I don't find it off-putting at all. It is real life and something that any one of us could experience in our day to day lives. Why hide it?

[@bluewolf993]

“Is Prince William driving?”! OMG! I bout died! Seriously tho I wouldn’t doubt they’ve have people fake seizures or break their own leg just to say they’d been air lifted by His Highness. Lol

[@jonbird6566]

I was lucky enough to get a glimpse of him. I was in the Marine Corps and we went to El Centro to do some training and it just so happened that the unit that Prince Harry was in was training there too. I wish that I got the chance to actually meet him, but I was honored enough to be in his presence. I wouldn't bat an eye for a celebrity, but a member of a royal family of an entire nation who has dedicated his time to military service.. That was impressive. Much respect to that man. It was a little weird seeing the British guys riding all over base on bicycles though lmao. Must be a thing in Britian. It was unusual here haha.

[@suem6004]

While I appreciate what they can do, I wonder if they are delaying transport and thereby getting to the needed cath lab sooner. Patient needs to get to ER much quicker to start invasive procedures.

[@jogrant3851]

Many patients, without 'them' would die before they reach ER, so any delays to stabilse are crucial.

Don't understand the restriction on night flying. Here in Australia we fly 24/7 and at least half of our calls out are at night. We have just as dense urban areas with the same sorts of obstacles as there...wires, poles, other air traffic, low visibility. So why?

[@jonbird6566]

Its the same for truck drivers.. they have a set amount of hours that they can do in a day. It's done to prevent accidents caused by fatigue. Its not a bad idea. Some people will push themselves to the point where their bodies are literally not able to keep up. Then disasters happen. Its a good thing in my opinion.

[@jogrant3851]

@@jonbird6566 But isn't that the conditions under which doctors work in hospitals? They can be extremely fatigued from long shifts, and expected to keep going. How is that safe for anyone?

[@jonbird6566]

@@jogrant3851 I agree with you. In a perfect world, they too would be restricted to work only a set number of hours before they had to clock out and get some rest, but the difference between that and transportation, is that there is a much higher potential for loss of life due to a pilot or truck driver falling asleep at the controls, than there is for a doctor sitting on a chair and falling asleep. (you aren't going to fall asleep walking around and assessing patients, and if you do, someone will notice that you passed out) The unfortunate reality is that the medical systems (at least in the US) are painfully understaffed, and the health ramifications of overworked hospital staff is limited to the individuals themselves, and not to others around them. An argument could be made for fatigue and mistakes made, but that's very hard to prove in correlation whereas an accident happening because a driver fell asleep at the wheel is much easier to prove correlation with fatigue.
