Ken Jeong AHA Hands-Only CPR video

Ken Jeong suits up in new Stayin' Alive video to promote Hands-Only CPR.

[@Frefighter17]

But most of all, Dont forget to check for a PULSE before beginning CPR........

[@olintofcbj2]

It's no necessary anymore, the important thing is CPR.

[@Frefighter17]

If you do CPR on a living person you aint doing no good.. They must have no pulse or a very faint one. Trust me, I am an EMT and Ive done it plenty of time

[@anarus17]

34JuniorFF The new training for bystanders is don't check for a pulse, too often they either couldn't find it anyway, or mistake a-fib for a pulse. As an untrained or even basic trained bystander, only check for breathing. No breathing --> call 911 --> start CPR

[@shelleyinthecity]

Danny Tucker The current BLS algorithm clearly states to check a pulse for 10 seconds and if no pulse to begin CPR. Don't take more than 10 seconds. If there is a pulse, but no breathing, to give rescue breaths at a rate of one every 5-6 seconds. If you don't believe me, then you can Google it or refer to any BLS text and see.

[@Angeles7823]

If you don`t check for PULSE and you start CPR anyway, you could kill the person, because of the impact. Also the person could be unconscious, that doesn`t means she/he is dead. I have been researching CPR all this year for a CPR training proyect .

[@nachobear5100]

Dying has never been so funky. 10/10 would die again.

[@pixelman1234]

What's funny is Ken Jeong used to be a doctor. He is still licensed, just decided to go for his acting career.

[@danivee8572]

Never thought I'd see Señor Chang tell me how to perform CPR

[@ToddOutLoud]

Coincidentally, "Stayin Alive" and "Another One Bites the Dust" are both 103 BPM.

[@alexdouglasmenachomendieta9738]

Siempre confundo las dos canciones. XD

[@BrutticusForce]

So is the imperial march. I actually had a really clean save with that one

[@formidablefriend8228]

Yeah, but... I'd rather not be thinking "another one bites the dust" while trying to save someone.

[@yasminafarih3681]

@@formidablefriend8228 No, because if you fail the song prepares you for it. Plus, you can laugh about it later.

[@faliakuna8162]

Actually, "Another One Bites the Dust" is 110 bpm. But it's all good too since 100 to 120 compresions per minute are needed for CPR.

[@karamacdonald4398]

I actually did this 3 weeks ago and just found out the man survived! I was at the airport when I saw a man on the ground unconcious and gasping. I pulse checked for 10 seconds and had someone get an AED. I started compressions while singing this in my head until I could get the pads on him. Shocked him a total of 3 times in between compressions until emts arrived. No clue who this man was, but it's my dream to give him a hug someday.

[@musicaldramaqueen]

Good on you! Wow! Wonderful.

[@TSSTtime]

Senior Chang: saving lives and plotting world domination.

[@timetopanda]

TSSTtime Ken Jeong is CHANGing the course of our life's with this safety CPR video

[@Travelingwithtyler]

The British one with Vinnie Jones actually SHOWED you how to do it. In this one he only told you, not as usual. but still funny.

[@nilgaming2022]

Tyler Horton we only need compressions

[@dhimmidan8469]

Little do folks know: Ken Jeong studied medicine. So he's a little qualified for this stuff. Great vid! Heart attack victim rises up! That was freaking funny!

[@nilgaming2022]

You confused heart attack and cardiac arrest

[@CB563]

"Another One Bites The Dust" also had the right tempo, even the lyrics are a bit inappropriate...

[@gablineztony]

DISCO CAN SAVE LIVES - The beat of "Staying Alive" song is the perfect timing for CPR Chest compression, (as seen in the heart monitor) according to the AHA Guideline 2012 update.

[@riverfoster7404]

Ok so to recap what we learned today, if someone has a heart attack, start dancing. BRILLIANT!

[@rico300zx]

that suit is awesome!

[@BikerChickNisey]

This is a great video. The technique really works. We prefer Staying Alive over Another One Bites the Dust in our cardiology practice. Disco can save lives. Yes, Disco! Love it!

[@brandyandrew3772]

For Basic CPR this is the way to go for most people. I have been teaching the knew steps sense April 2011. My students love this new fast act for those who know nothing or freeze in high stress. In my 10 years of having to do CPR and being an instructor we have made it less stress for all.I am going to use this video in my training classes.

[@TheRaiden316]

If anyone cares, the movie title was the crow. Also, ofcourse the steps had to be across the t-shirts of two pretty blond women. Because 'Murica! That's why. Adendum: when will the Motley Crew be in one of these, using the tempo of kickstart my heart?

[@lellbelle]

I'm at university in my final year of a bachelor of nursing and when we were taught cpr we were told to do it to the beat of stayin alive.. i like it, it's poetic and useful at the same time.

[@cuttervlogs2885]

At first I was afraid I was petrified

[@rogerlimoseth4790]

ya but did you survive?

[@rafaelnavarrete5217]

he has no arms and no legs. I mean, do we even bother ressurecting someone like that?

[@judyatpalmetto]

love it and I love him...Seriously.

[@CoastGhost13]

This is beyond amazing. I'll never forget staying alive whenever I see CPR.

[@safletcher]

Disco Saves Lives love it

[@LadySigma]

ken jeong....you're the man!!!!!

[@fatimoose]

it's awesome that he's actually a real doctor & knows what he's talking about. :D

[@Makoapk]

I will remember this FOREVER!

[@PhilThevirus]

Thanks Dr. Ken!

[@VeNuS2910]

in our country it's call "143". and it's also short term for "i love you" :-) this really made me smile :-) i love Bee Gees too. thanks for sharing this.

[@militaryangel1101]

wow .... no words.

[@HealthyFortunes]

We need more videos like this. Heart Disease is one of the top 10 leading causes of death. Knowing CPR save lives. A healthy diet can prevent Heart Disease. Take care of your heart today and every day. It is important to know how to respond but lets do what we can to prevent. Be proactive today. Learn to make healthy lifestyle changes and develop healthier eating habits and use supplementation to get the vitamins and minerals you need that you are not getting from your diet.

[@breakxXxdance]

this is the best thing ive seen all day.

[@daniellel7038]

funny ad considering he's a doctor!

[@hugomzo]

The more you know!

[@gwagner007]

I'm a lifeguard, and in every course and re-certification, they always tell us to use the Stayin' Alive beat. Most people want to go super-fast, but its the perfect beat!! Morbid. But it works :)

[@dtoner718]

I think of this commercial whenever I have to do CPR! So message got through to me!

[@laurabignami2321]

I learned it today at school! Everybody should know it ;)

[@marcelogvx]

Where are you from? That video is amazing! Unfortunately here in Brazil doesn't have this advertisement in our TV and schools.

[@laurabignami2321]

Well I'm Italian and honestly we don't have this advertisement on the TV too, but some schools are starting advertising it and organizing short lessons to teach boys and girls, but also 'normal' teachers, how to do these things :) sadly not so many schools do it, but they should because it's not that difficult, and it's above all really useful!

[@SimplyRushanda]

What makes it better for me is Ken Jeong is actually a real doctor

[@MikePasque]

BEST...VIDEO...EVER!

[@hdgmedic]

I forwarded this to my entire department. I am a huge proponent for good CPR. If this doesn't get folks to pay attention, I don't know what will. This should be a television commercial!

[@muse54]

I hope I can remember in a crisis 'Staying Alive.' It is the perfect beat. Great video.

[@desaljs]

This is just what CPR needs, keep it simple, and for lay folks, do not worry about the airway. Get on the chest! Well done.

[@analbumcover]

oh god i'm in tears.

[@TVChild3]

This beat can save lives !!

[@twist3dfat3]

I so love this one :) im an AHA instructor from philippines and id love to share this to everyone :) thanks.

[@Brenanaification]

When the Staying Alive tune came on, all I thought was "seriously Jim, you have to silence your phone during high-stakes situations."

[@ldalfkjahsl]

@ +Booker T Dr. Ken is way more than a "little" qualified for this. He completed medical school and an internal medicine residency and he was a board certified, practicing physician when his comedy career took off.

[@SisterCaliGal]

i "heart" this!

[@laurabignami2321]

I learned it today at school! Everybody should know it ;)

[@Tophermen]

By far, Ken Jeong is funniest Asian comic. There are a few other Asian comics that are similar to him, but he raises the bar.

[@bweasel95]

Easy, memorable method to learning CPR! Stay Alive!

[@jad3948]

i work in a trauma center, and i was doing compressions today humming "staying alive" in my head. it really does help to keep a good rhythm

[@lensskins]

Awesome!

[@_Ted]

the beat to another one bites the dust works so much better.

[@wildwill1993]

i heart ken jeong

[@lvref702]

By compressing the chest and increasing thoracic pressure then decreasing the patient will resume passive respirations regardless. Basically think of it like pushing the air out of an air mattress that has compliance. When the air mattress is compressed air comes out but if you let it "recoil" the air will be sucked back in. The key is to keep the already oxygenated blood perfusing the brain and cardiac tissue. 10 Year Paramedic and Instructor

[@Fiona2254]

Shared! We watched it this morning at our health care professional refresher...Staying Alive really works :D

[@portraitsplusart]

Push hard. Push fast. Save a life! What a great way to start the day!

[@melloe]

I love you ken jeong

[@MrsSimsLovingLife]

Disco might be dead, but keeping someone alive to STAYIN' ALIVE is priceless - just like life.

[@Alexisdeitrich]

They showed this to us in health to teach us cpr instead of having people come in and teach us

[@polegrammer]

The last 20 secs was the best

[@Jetthunder23]

Thanks for raising awareness, it's so important..just learned about it today in a Dental conference course

[@ZDoggMD]

Wow, this was so awesome we had to parody it. Strong work, Dr. Jeong! Bam...Shiklaky!

[@retronymph]

Gotta love Ken Jeong.

[@pyrobryan]

I like the girl in the "push hard and fast" shirt. Context is everything.

[@TheLanaWEBB]

just did my Basic Life Support course at my new job and we started off by viewing this, quite funny especially if you are a health professional

[@lorielucky7398]

Very fun and informative. I didn't realize that the chest compressions were supposed to be that fast! Thanks, AHA!

[@RichGreiner2]

Awesome video! Thanks. We need a similar Stroke awareness video with Dr. Ken, and his daughters, Face and Arm, and Speech and Time.

[@hiatusinc]

as a doctor i can confirm we use this song when we train ourselves on life saving courses haha

[@moltendiamondgaming2480]

Today in health class we watched this because were learning about CPR...

[@HungarianSarah]

I will be a doctor someday and our teachers said the same thing. The beat Staying Alive really works!!! quite morbid but true!

[@tmgstaff6079]

Having a beat to keep in mind will be really helpful. And something this silly is a fantastic way to make sure people remember it!!! Thank you!!!

[@bouriquetto]

@tomwilsondesign1985 The hands only CPR is meant for the general public who doesn't carry a pocket mask around. Or, when alone : it takes 18 compressions to make the blood flow back into the coronary arteries everytime you stop the compressions. When alone, the 2 breaths would take too much time (you'd lose the blood flow). Moreover, the movement of the chest during compressions does allow enough air to get to the lung to keep the person alive until the emergency services arrive on site.

[@bubbajeph]

Been teaching Basic and Advance Life Support for too many years to remember. I think this is a hoot of a video. It is good for lay people to remember the rate of compressions. In the hospital or prehospital we also use Another One Bites The Dust. to keep the beat. Sick humor to keep us sane in the profession.

[@selenagarcia4187]

This. Video inspired me to start taking classes im starting this summer!

[@ZDoggMD]

Mad love Dr. J!

[@uMADden]

Dr Jeong!!!

[@marilynfanella8450]

Loved it...thanks for sharing.

[@caroline0204]

I watched this video in class on friday and it was so funny! XD

[@SauerDunn28]

we had to watch this in health class, i was laughing my ass off, i was like "somone is dying and u r dancing" lol, i love ken jeong

[@BonedOcu]

Not quite sure whether this is for the US only.. But I am a paramedic in Denmark, and it's at least 10 years past checking for a pulse manually. For most people, locating a pulse under stressful conditions is very difficuly - and may sometimes be mistaken for your own pulse in fact.

[@nursealisonb]

love this!!!!!

[@junebuglyn]

@thinkofwhy The chest compressions are meant to keep the heart pumping blood to the rest of the body (especially the brain!) to limit permanent tissue damage....@beyondthisall has a great answer!

[@teckheng6698]

Ken Jeong is one of the leader actors in the movie "Hangover" & Hangover 2"

[@virginiataylor5593]

Brilliant!

[@beccas8223]

I'm taking my CPR certification today. Stayin' Alive and Another One Bites the Dust(Ironic, no?) have been stuck in my head all day! This video is information with a humor twist. Hopefully more people will remember this and save a life!

[@babamitzsam]

I'm putting that song on my iPhone, you never know when you might need to bust it out.

[@jacksongrainger9926]

My gma and her brother and her daughter(my aunt) were all paramedics and they swear by stayin alive

[@AlleKasa]

This guy also knows what to do when you have a hangover...

[@Minatoleekrinaze]

That guy has the best friends ever. I wish I had friends who sat absolutely still and did nothing when I have a heart attack. ;_;

[@jimmymifsud1]

Dr Ken Jeong MD knows what he's talking about

[@giggles2302]

And he's a medical Dr, how fitting. :)

[@inki2121]

Ken Jeong is a medical doctor for real

[@monarchco]

Someone please tell me why we don't have more ad campaigns like this nationally?

[@Sudoku123456789]

Why we don't have more of this campaigns internationally ?

[@porpus99]

Just as an added tip that people sometimes miss, if you hear the patients ribs breaking than you know your doing good. CPR is violent, but also painful. Chances are you are going to break someones ribs, but you will be saving their life in the process.

[@AndrewPatrickRalston]

Yep!

[@beyondthisall]

@thinkofwhy The reason they have focused on compression only CPR for lay persons (as in non paramedics) is because the technique of delivering oxygen is sometimes bad. For example, when people do mouth to mouth on an unconcious person, they don't tilt their heads back far and can pretty much blow oxygen into their stomach. Research shows that compression only CPR for several minutes is just as effective to get the blood around the body until paramedics arrive. Im studying paramedicine at uni. :)

[@puppyluv1324]

Lol looking up the words to Stayin Alive so that the next time someone cant breathe, i can sing this at the top of my lungs while giving cpr :D

[@Channel70Productions]

Well done.

[@citizen00erased]

actual doctor ken jeong

[@thatcrazygameingdude7216]

THAT SHIRT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[@RepassFamilyTV]

What's funny is that the beat of "Staying Alive" is the correct rate in which to do chest compressions. What's even funnier is that "Another One Bites the Dust" has the same beat.

[@Funraiser]

It's no joke guys. The red cross actually advises to have that song in mind while performing CPR (to get the good compression rhythm).
