Doctors Resuscitate Man After Sudden Cardiac Arrest | Inside The Ambulance | Real Responders

A man suffers a sudden cardiac arrest while driving. At the scene of the crash, paramedics perform CPR to resuscitate the patient. Medics shock his heart back into rhythm and rush him to the emergency room. An elderly husband is the sole carer for his wife with dementia and is concerned she may be suffering an infection. A new mom is suffering in pain from large gall stones.
For the very first time, an ambulance has been rigged with cameras that provide a unique perspective on what it's like to respond to emergency calls. 'Inside The Ambulance' follows paramedics from the West Midlands Ambulance Service in England as they take us right into the heart of the action. We see heroism at work in the actions of these first responders. We also enter the lives of people in crisis and learn their unique stories.

And I believe every traumatic eventevery story or I hate to call it a story because it's not a story it's a man's life that's not what I meant, what I meant was I believe that any time someone or anyone witnesses something like this, a traumatic event, I feel you need to have you seen the beginning in the middle you need to at least know the ending regardless of the outcome 1:32 simply so that one can get closure or attempt to

There’s a high chance he coded again when they got him to ICU after “stabilizing” him in the ER/A&E. Post Code patients are very unstable for the first 24 hours after ROSC especially being down for a while before getting to hospital.

[@denisepope8599]

I have done CPR several times. The most taxing was when I was doing HH nursing out in the country and I had to do it on a man 30 minutes before a volunteer firefighter got there to assist with an ambu bag. Another 15-20 minutes before the ambulance got there. The patient didn’t make it even though they tried at the ER also. I gave it my all when I got to the house, so did the ambulance crew.

[@vagirl19]

It’s EXHAUSTING when done correctly!! The fact that you were able to do it that long without another person to swap out is amazing!!

Sam and Mary made me cry.

[@debrakleid5752]

Not sure I heard this exactly but when they said that they shocked him 10 minutes prior DOESN’T mean that his heart was beating and CPR is continued because the heart is so weak. His heart was in V-Fib and those always get shocked as well as they get medication to try to get it out of V-Fib. When the heart is in V-Fib it’s not actually beating but it’s actually quivering. Blood doesn’t circulate when it’s in V-Fib and shocking the patient doesn’t always get the person out of V-Fib and into a regular rhythm. In many cases it may remain in V-Fib or even change to an asystole which is a flat line and those can’t be shocked at all

Always better to go in when you get concerned. In 2021, I knew I had gallstones (proven by scan) but ignored the pain due to having a large amount of projects with quick deadlines at work. I passed out at work, was taken by ambulance to hospital and had to have emergency surgery for sepsis.

Here in the u.s we have very similar protocols though it very states to state .

I am surprised they moved the guy in arrest. Here in the US we only move the PT once we achieve ROSC. Every scenario is different but we like to work the codes where they are found to minimize interuptions in compressions. But all went well thats a clinical save

[@debrakleid5752]

I’ve seen a lot of cardiac arrests and very few survive and I mean very few. The ones that do survive is because many are already hospitalized and someone is watching the heart monitors and would have seen the patient go into cardiac arrest or the ones that survive in the field is usually because there were other people there who started CPR right away. I’ve done CPR probably 20 times or more and that’s usually when I wasn’t running the code. Many times I was the only medic on scene so I was in charge of the entire code and I also had to do the advanced skills because EMT-B can’t intubate, start an IV or IO, administer medications as well knowing when to shock a patient so my partner was usually doing all of the CPR unless there was another crew (we usually were on our own with first responders or we had no help) or first responders on scene

[@darcyjeanske821]

With the addition of AED's in most public places in the US, the survival rate in cardiac arrest is well over 50% now. Being an RN over 22 years and working in the medical field 26 years, the biggest concern I had with the way this cardiac arrest was run is that they didn't take his airway into consideration. He was in a car accident. Although the accident appeared minor, never assume that there is no injury to the neck. They shouldn't have bent his neck back to insert his airway. They should've done a jaw-thrust maneuver to insert his airway. The team is very efficient with their communication, and the bystanders are a gift from heaven. I'm very relieved to find that the man survived.

[@gnosiqday5387]

@@darcyjeanske821 The 50% figure refers to those admitted following out of hospital cardiac arrest, not general survival rate. Most out of hospital cardiac arrests are terminated on scene or in the ER.

if i remember usually for bystanders who use AED scattered around yes, as it doesnt show the rhythm, whereas paramedics because of the Zoll and defib pads, they can see the rhythm, and its q distinguishable between a cardiac arrest rhythm or rhythm with possible pulse

Its so crazy to see the difference in culture. We got ppl in their 50s here in the usa permanently in nursing homes. The UK people in their 90s home alone with no help. Wild.

[@PaddyPawsRescue]

The UK has a very good support system for the elderly. IF they choose to use it. It's much like the assistance available to homeless people in the US. Often the help is available but people choose not to take advantage of it often due to mental illness.

[@eliz_scubavn]

@@PaddyPawsRescueI’d also say that sometimes people don’t know what help or funding is available. My grandmother was an occupational therapist so spent a lot of direct contact time with elderly people and she spent a LOT of time helping people to get both the welfare benefits and the help they needed from local council and other services. In a lot of cases people simply didn’t know that this benefit or this grant existed or that they could get help with something.

[@aaronquevedo9099]

That's a damn lie lol. There's people in their 50s that do live independently without a nursing home.

[@vagirl19]

⁠@@aaronquevedo9099they didn’t say EVERY person in their 50s lives permanently in a nursing home, they said the US has people in their 50s in nursing homes. Which is a TRUE statement. Nursing homes have skilled units for rehabilitation services specifically and short term patients recovering from surgeries or long hospital stays, who may be significantly younger. Their homes are not suitable for their recovery, making it unsafe the recovery to happen in the home. Source-I’ve worked in more than one nursing home.

[@robinhammond581]

I've seen plenty of people here in the US who "should" be in nursing homes. Their families are at their wit's end, but there are either no homes in their region, they are totally unaffordable, etc.

[@debrakleid5752]

@@missg.5940I don’t think the medics in the UK have more training and can do a lot more procedures than medics in the states. I’ve watched a lot of these shows and the skills are usually about the same except we didn’t have a doctor on scene. There may be a couple of cities in the US where they do but those are the bigger cities. Off duty docs have helped us before but they can’t take over patient care as a doctor in the field unless they ride to the ER with the patient. Chest tubes can only be done with a doctor and I have seen them on this show insert them but they are not medics doing it. We also can’t put them in but we can do a needle decompression which is the next best thing to a chest tube. US medics can intubate, insert IO’s, administer a wide variety of meds including Morphine or Fentanyl, sedation like Versed and where I worked we could sedate and paralyze the patient before we intubate and more.
