South Metro Unscripted Episode 12

[@stephendarrow7596]

I was trained in CPR and first aid when I worked at the City of LA Recreation and Parks. I worked at Griffith Park(the largest municipal in the United States). While working with my Supervisor, he had a heart, or I thought; later it was determined that he suffered a stroke. Well anyway, I use CPR on him and he started to breeze on his own. I first called 911 when they arrived they told over. What was later determined was that he had a walnut-size tumor over his right eye? Unfortunately, it was Cancer., which he died from a few years later. Rest in peace Wayne. You were a good supervisor and a great friend. Thanks for the great fishing trips.

It's very common that people who witness a cardiac arrest initially think the person is having a seizure. I have seen why only once in my life when a RTC patient arrested right as we arrived at his side. The cardiogenic seizure looks just like an epileptic one, but lasts only for a very brief time and doesn't always affect the entire body. It's caused by the fact that the areas of the brain go into hypoxia at different rates, which causes confusion and "missfires" in the brain. This is part of paramedic training, but since this was a BLS crew, they might not have known this at the time.

[@EricWhiteTheGamer]

Good news you know are better trained! You also got to experience it!

[@Goober10584]

Are you guys ALS or did you have to wait on an ALS unit to get there? And did you actually deliver a shock via your AED? Awesome save of one of your brothers!

[@Goober10584]

South Metro Fire Rescue PIO that is awesome! Nothing better than seeing the training pay off to save one of your own!

[@QemeH]

Nothing better than immediate CPR after an arrest. Gotta get the public on that: Chest compressions! Chest compressions! Chest compressions!

Terrific video.

[@jonathanbair523]

can you please show more call outs.

[@some0ne8]

I too enjoy seeing them in action or learning more about the department, but these videos are great too. It's nice to get a look into the firefighters and sort of "get to know" them, if you will.

[@ricksadler797]
