Two things every person should know: CPR and basic bleeding control. Together, these can save the majority of patients with survivable injury, and it takes only a few hours to learn both. Keep the blood inside a person, oxygenated, and moving through their veins, and they're much more likely to survive and much more likely to have a better clinical outcome.

[@paxundpeace9970]

And to know when you should call the ambulance.

[@MillionFoul]

@@paxundpeace9970 Well if you're doing either of those things it's probably not a bad idea.

[@prmperop]

CPR with an AED can save a patient's life. CPR without an AED can save their organs for donation.

[@MillionFoul]

@@prmperop Quality CPR without an AED can keep a patient's neurological function intact until a higher level of care, nearly indefinitely if it weren't for damage that'll eventually be done to the lungs and heart from being squished. Even a reduced blood supply of oxygen makes outcomes much better than a complete lack of it. Ideally, every person to recieve CPR could be given compressions by a LUCAS device and bagged with oxygen (not all arrhythmias are treatable with an AED), but basic compressions and rescue breaths are still very effective when applied quickly, well, and continuously.

[@NFMorley]

The bleeding control is an often overlooked one too - according to a friend who is an A&E doc most people just don't place makeshift tourniquets properly or tight enough to limit it, and it makes a massive difference keeping injured people conscious and responsive. Tbh, till he demonstrated on my arm, I didn't realise the proper technique either.

Learning CPR is one of the most important skill that one can learn which might some day help in saving someone's life. My father actually had a cardiac arrest about 6 years ago. None of us knew about the CPR and only tried to rush him to the hospital as fast as we could. It took about 10-15 minutes to take him to the hospital. There the doctors and the staff immediately gave him defibrillation after checking vital signs. After giving him defibrillation multiple times, his heart did recover, but he didn't come back conscious. He went in coma. The doctors later told us that in the time it took for us to get him to the hospital, he had suffered neurological damage because oxygen wasn't being sent to the brain by the heart, and that neurological damage has low chances of recovery. Thus, it was important for us to give him CPR while on the way to the hospital. About a month later, he suffered another cardiac arrest and this time he couldn't be revived. Now looking back at the time, if only I knew about the CPR and how to give it, maybe I wouldn't have lost him.

Thank you for your PSA about trying CPR. Recently a guy in my local area had a cardiac arrest in the street. He actually survived due to a bystander who knew what he was doing, and I believe made at least a decent recovery as he was interviewed about it afterwards. However it was disappointing to learn that while he was doing CPR on this man, a good amount of abuse was being hurled at him by other bystanders telling him to get off/ that he's going to hurt the guy. Where I grew up we all had to do CPR courses multiple times along with some basic other first aid, so it was completely baffling to me that some of these people didn't know what he was doing, and we're trying to discourage him.

The ambulance was already on its way when he stopped breathing (well, had agonal breathing which doesn't count). Immediate CPR and use of the defibrilator we had in the foyer made all the difference. Paramedics took over after the second shock had been administered and the casualty was chatting with them by the time he arrived at the hospital. Nearly two years later and he is still doing well.

@@BlackMamba-lt8oe You do realize heart failure is the leading cause of death virtually everywhere in the world, and has been for as long as we have been keeping records, right? And you must know that sudden heart failure is not uncommon among athletes: “Sudden cardiac deaths in competitive athletes continue to be highly visible, compelling emotional events with significant liability concerns. These catastrophes are frequently subjected to intense public scrutiny largely because of their occurrence in young otherwise healthy‐appearing individuals, including elite participants in collegiate and professional sports.” www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1994446/ You are a fountain of misinformation.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy patient as well as heart transplant recipient here, thanks for talking about this. People don't seem to realize how serious this disease is until I tell them that its the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest in young athletes. I was transplanted at 22 and can honestly say if this disease wasn't caught in me when I was extremely young, I probably would've become nothing more than a statistic. Many times athletes will feel chest pain or abnormal rhythms but push through it anyways, which often ends in situations like this. Thankfully in recent years there has been a lot of effort to get AED's put in so many different places which have saved countless lives, like Christians. Since I was young I have always kept a defibrillator in my car, even though I'm unlikely to need it with my new heart, you never know when it could save a life.

I also have Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and was scrolling through the comments to see if someone was sharing their experience having this condition. I had my diagnosis after "feeling strange" before a test to try and qualifying for playing on a football team when i was 12. My dream was to become an athlete. Never before that i have had any symptoms. The cardiologist that diagnosed me said that whatever kept me from doing the physical test that day might have saved my life and I had to stop doing physical activities immediately. A transplant was also considered a viable option in my case but because i was so young they did something called a septal ablation and i was implanted an ICD with satisfactory results. I am 24yo now and stable. It was very hard for me to accept the fact that i would never be able to play sports professionaly. Every time I see something like this happening to any athlete it really hits me and makes me think that i was actually very lucky.

I know a lot of people that passed away very young from cardiac arrest due to this disease. For me, I was never a candidate for an ablation due to where my thickening was, but I was stable my entire life. until I turned 21 and started going downhill, and couldn’t take it anymore just after my 22nd birthday. From the time I went into my cardiologist to tell him I think it’s time to talk about transplant, to the day I was transplanted, was exactly 125 days.

I'm a CFR (volunteer Community First Responder) for one of the NHS ambulance services in the UK and I'm glad to hear our training is exactly that. First check that is safe to approach, then check for catastrophic bleeding (until here you can do it as you approach the patient), then see if the patient responds to voice, pain (just pinching the earlobe is enough), then check breathing for 10 seconds and if it's not breathing while maintaining the airway clear, start chest compressions and get the AED ASAP. If you start chest compressions and use the AED within 2-3 minutes, 50-70% of people could survive. The normal outcome (the ambulance typically takes 5-10 minutes) is only 10%. So please, check if you would like to become a CFR on your area because you could be saving the life of people around you.
