Trauma Patient Rescue | Coast Guard Alaska | Full Episode

[@margaretbarger1637]

In all my 30 years of nursing and having done CPR innumerable times;I have broken ribs as well; but I have never seen anyone come back after having CPR done on an individual for almost 2 hours.And what's also remarkable is that he is walking and talking!!!!KUDOS to the Coast Guard.Loving these videos.Thank you for your service.

[@vodnurse5702]

Margaret Barger me too!

[@NoKillMemphis]

Me either!! Early in my career I was a flight nurse on a helicopter, myself. And on the rare occasion someone survives prolonged CPR (half hour at most), they are generally severely brain damaged and in a persistent vegetative state.

[@DR10002]

It is amazing. Considering the leads are on wrong.

[@AA-qe2kx]

Me too!!!! Amazing

[@julieenslow5915]

Well I am not a nurse, doctor or medical anything - but I have a question. Is it possible the cold temperatures made a difference?

[@PneumaNoose]

What a darling, sweet man. He survived for a reason. That heart needed to live on ❤️

[@marktime48]

I hope that CDR wrote that AMT up for an award. He certainly deserves formal recognition for jumping in to relieve the AST & HS and was crucial in keeping the patient viable for higher level care. Amazing work by the whole team.

[@squirrelmouser5869]

Wow guys, never have I seen such stalwart dedication to saving a life and refusing to give up. Thats one lucky guy

[@C159-q3f]

Thank you all for your service and dedication to our country 🇺🇸

[@timbo4374]

The men and women of the Coast Guard truly are heroes in every sense of the word. Thank you one and all for your service!

[@scottmiddlebrooks4821]

These ladies and gentlemen are phenomenal. Selfless, driven, honorable, and loyal. God Bless them all and keep them safe.

[@luvtocook6881]

That lady covering his privacy… she is so sweet.

[@frederalbacon]

Worked 6 years in EMS, we called arrests after 30 minutes, you don't have that luxury in the Alaskan bush. Can't imagine people with very basic medical training (and a couple of highly trained people like nurses and PAs) working an arrest that is undoubtedly someone they know for hours. That's an insane amount of dedication to keeping him alive, and the fact that it worked is nothing short of a miracle, and the fact that he is walking seals it. You can see at 9:08 that his sternum and ribs/cartilage are just mush at that point, he's got an indent in his chest that looks worse than most pectoralis excavatum patients. Wilbur passed in 2013 after a short battle with cancer, but these men and women gave him some more time with his family, and gave him a chance to go in peace.

[@heatherd.9390]

I love this show. I've watched every episode more than once, lol. Noel is among my favourites on this show. I have to admit, as a single mom myself, I got a bit misty as he thanked his mom. He's not only a great Coast Guard member, but seems to be a great husband, dad, son, colleague and friend to all those who have the privilege to know him. Yep, a bit misty-eyed watching the retirement ceremony.

[@julienorfolk3880]

Come to Minnesota and you can see Bald Eagles all over! They’re one of my favorite birds! I’m glad they’re still protected even though they’re not on endangered list. They’re the symbol of freedom that I fought for in the US Army.

[@candicegateley9238]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE SIR AND MAY GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

[@ThadAirhart]

From a Jarhead...Semper Fidelis to all you Coasties. Carry on.

[@asiam7436]

Wilbur! You sweet man, you made it! I’m guessing you got a little sneak peek of a wonderful afterlife. ❤️. Awesome job saving this man’s life.

[@donnakawana]

Thanks you for your service! That was the most beautiful poem Standing Watch....that broke me... Thanks for ever being there to answer the call... forever grateful to your selfless heart!!!!

[@rangerider51]

You Coast Guard people are awesome. You do so much for so many. Thumbs up for all of you.👍

[@lisasellers5586]

Out of hospital survival. Aggressive cpr and defibrillators. Awesome!

[@mr.c3928]

You know how you almost always hear about elite this and elite that in the military, these coasties take a back seat to no one.

[@prez343]

Also there law enforcement is extremely underrated and I would put them up with the best in war combat along with their snipers are some of the best in the world shooting from a moving helicopter at moving boats with hurricane force winds accurately is insane

[@KaraNolting]

The non-stop compressions and that INCREDIBLE landing? I had goosebumps - what an amazing group of people. I'm so happy to know he made it through as well.

[@catbriggs8362]

Really impressed with the swimmer's strength in the water. He could win Olympic gold.

[@RyanSmith-se7kw]

Love the Coast Guard , what Awesome , Selfless SOULS !!!!!!

[@lauralashbrook4042]

I'm extremely proud of those servicemen the coast guard may God bless you and yours always ✌️👍

[@sierrashere8197]

15 shocks over 2 hours with intermittent CPR . . . yeah never heard of this with a positive outcome . . . .miracle : )

[@barbginther2171]

Wow, what Men, crew, job , etc. Amazing, guys, just unbelievable! Above and beyond. Fyi, I have a DNR.

[@rhondakennedy819]

Hello. Thank you for your service. Congratulations on your retirement, Noel Hutton. Be safe out there people

[@julienorfolk3880]

Thanks Coast Guard for putting your lives on the line so others may live. It takes courage to be there on people’s worst days and be able to help them.

[@247KW]

Ya'll deserve more money and praise for such dangerous jobs. YOU ARE AMAZING

[@lucilletupis3689]

God bless all of you. Thanks for showing all of us what team work really is.

[@michellekeyawa2638]

CG are life saviors

[@katya03316]

Crazy! I dont think I ever heard of people get shocked more then 3 times... what amazing group of people who wouldn't give up and continued for so long... its amazing that the guy is talking n walking! I thought he for sure be a vegetable after all that

[@paulprigge1209]

Physical training that rescue swimmers undertake kind of like the seals and that they never give up. Not comparing the two two different jobs entirely but a toilet training is undergone by rescue swimmers

[@VOICEFORFREEDOM1776]

The USCG rescue swimmers are on a different level and are in a league of their own.

[@denisepope4478]

My husband died in the ER in front of me. He had a massive heart attack. They only did CPR only 45 minutes, but could never get a heart beat back. As long as a heart beat is shown, CPR most go on.

[@michellekeyawa2638]

I'm sorry for your loss

[@Moses7041]

As a 3 star momma I love this feed. One daughter is a pilot, one a sub hunter, one a medic in Iraq for Delta force (now a doctor) i love ALL our military

[@kristenkaz3080]

As a war widow, I thank you for their Service to us all. Please thank them from a total stranger.

[@scottc7891]

For those who step to the line they are very special individuals I have always called on God’s angels and I am a proud mother of a blue liner myself for everyone of you thank you for Annette bottom of my heart for putting your life on the line your family on the back burner and always being there ready to step forward. Robin

[@matteoalexander239]

On the internet I noticed that a lot of the praise goes to the army and marines, then they make the US coast guard the joke all the time. But these guys deserve just as much recognition as everyone else, because they do so much and risk their lives during every single mission.

[@lisaann2744]

Thank u very much for the quality uploads. They’re awesome.

[@eliguard920]

What a bright story two hours of CPR more then 15+ Shocks is crazy and to the coast guard crew what am amazing job working non stop from start to finish even the mechanic for jumping in you guys rock and your service is greatly appreciated you guys are rock stars stay safe we love you keep serving

[@Sushi2735]

God bless that man with the heart attack. He’s so very frail, but so dearly loved by his family!! Very touching. Some people have such hard lives.

[@GO-xs8pj]

Not many people receive CPR like that and survive.

[@vodnurse5702]

G *O almost never.

[@vodnurse5702]

G *O in my entire 36 year career, the longest I ever saw cpr done and the person survive intact was 45 min.

[@GO-xs8pj]

@@vodnurse5702 CPR is not as effective as TV shows would make people believe.

[@vodnurse5702]

G *O I know. More often than not, the patient does not survive. That this guy did, is amazing.

[@Misha-dr9rh]

@@vodnurse5702 Why is that?

[@kathim231]

I'm hooked on these videos. Has taught me about the coast guard

[@familycar_mafia]

I know what these guys went through. CPR kicks your ass but gives you a rush like none other!

[@sandycrane1739]

Retirement ceremony really got to me. God Bless you all.

[@ChrisT-yw2vi]

I once transported a man who was shocked over 20 times because he was having a aortic dissection he was shocked so many times he had burns on his chest but he lived it was a amazing recovery

[@sbill474]

If you guys have to save me please note all the crap I said was just interservice joking. I appreciate you all.

[@vickiebailey5261]

IT'S HEARTWARMING TO KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE WILLING TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY TO HELP PEOPLE OUT OF SERIOUS AND LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS . GOD BLESS YOU ALL !!!

[@shawnhenderson1130]

Lower 48 has plenty of eagles. Washington is stock full of them! impossible to miss them on the river during salmon season

[@matthew81158]

Love this show

[@xKaylaaxD]

Thank you Noel for your service ! Enjoy your retirement.

[@s3rye306]

His chest must hurt. A guy I know had cpr for 4 minutes and 1 shock and said his chest hurt for months. I feel bad for this guy z

[@lisaann2744]

It’s very common to leave remarkable bruising and often fractures ribs. Alaska is very blessed to have yo USCG. As we all are.

[@tracemitchell2093]

Having initiated cpr before I can vouch it’s weird but you feel pop pop pop pop as you break ribs

[@s3rye306]

trace mitchell yea I hear that a lot. I did cpr on a training dummy in health class and I got exhausted after like 10 compression.

[@tracemitchell2093]

Zachary Baraga I was a firefighter and my neighbor coded so I was doing cpr for 8 minutes alone, fucking brutal

[@s3rye306]

trace mitchell 8 minutes is stretching it. After about 7 minute the brain tissues start to die. I hope you got him back. But yea my friend he had a heart attack and they did CPR for 4 minutes they got him back and they flown him to a heart clinic. He said his chest felt like it got hit with a truck

[@steve0inmontana811]

Wow! Just incredible!!

[@obsidiansuby]

After 10+ AED hits, the swimmer said he was ‘shocked’ the guy survived, see what he did there? Shocked? 😬

[@oiNander]

I love CJs energy and curiosity

[@jinxbumpus7270]

I got literal chills from the ceremony

[@kathim231]

The pump to the boat really shows how dangerous this job is

[@Just_selene]

Amazing work by incredible ppl.

[@Val-kp6fs]

I was so mad until I found out he came back & was able to find his dog. I’d prob tell the helicopter to come back later & stay w my dog lol I mean if you’re scared out there then think how that poor fur baby feels.

[@suzannepatterson307]

We have a small population of bald eagles here in north Alabama around lake guntersville. It is truly amazing to see them. Flying, on perch, in nest v

[@LoneWolf-dv7ul]

Until these videos, I never realized how Bad Ass the Coast guard is. I live in eastern Wv., and will probably never see one. But, they do great things across this great country.

[@ruckus755]

I'm sure the coast guard would make aquaman proud if he was real 😂 thank you for your service 🇺🇸🔱

[@Dovietail]

Never in my life have I seen a man whose body wanted to be so dead so badly!

[@saydee7878]

Oh my goodness! That cute little boy that told us about snow owls

[@Eric-gi9kg]

This was outstanding.. Except for when the commander stated that in the lower 48 bald eagles are only found in a zoo. I take it he's Never been to Washington, Idaho, or Oregon. Because there's bald eagles all around any water.

[@paulprigge1209]

I think this was taped the number years ago. We have a lot of Northeast Missouri. Used to be never ever saw one. No longer endangered

[@EvansBrickhouse]

I love in the hill country of Texas and I see eagles all the time.

[@davide.burden2043]

@@paulprigge1209 I know, I live in Northeast Missouri also, and I see Bald Eagles all the time. We have at least 4 mating pairs in my area.

[@trellenrussey6293]

Live edge of Sam Houston forest in Texas...about 45 min se of Houston. We see them here too...not in huge groups but they are around...if you look around, there are places where some brave soul has put cameras on edge and right above nests, they run 24 hours and you can watch them hatch, and grow up!

[@jsccrna1744]

There are several mated pairs around local marshes here in coastal Maryland. I live in the rural-ish suburbs about 8 miles from the bay and I have watched bald eagles several times with binoculars ( I was using the binoculars, not the eagles!) as I was floating on a raft in my backyard pool.

[@chrispierce9699]

Talk about someone having 9 lives wow!!

That’s what u call team work

[@jamesstirling3792]

Always good to get a good outcome 👌

[@andrewchristiansen8311]

3:21 isnt that USA flag patch supposed to be on the left side of his helmet stars forward? Just asking as my friends in the military always said its stars forward when serving. Sorry I'm super OCD and want to know these things.

[@summerriehm7300]

Nah, the part about being on the left side may have been specific to uniform specs in those branches. Whether on the left or right side of the uniform piece the stars should be facing the front of the body as though it were blowing in the wind. In this case since it is on the front that’s the correct orientation

[@seanfoley1000]

Enjoy the rest of your life around Family & friends

[@dong.lingad4578]

salute!

[@Ryan-zm2dk]

Lil bro was smart asf especially on birds

[@MitchWolf-s1z]

Slow your compressions down. The heart doesn’t beat that fast. If you mirror his heart beat you can go longer and it gives the heart to fill up. This should be part of the post series to analyse what you can do better next time.

[@jerrycollison3929]

Awesome

[@Farnsworth11]

These folks performed in sn exemplary manner to the level of their training. I'm shocked nobody on the crew is a trained acls orovider.

[@suem6004]

We have tons of eagles along upper Mississippi.

[@afraidcone]

"It's still a felony because they can't prove you didn't kill the eagle to get the feather." Hold on a minute, last I checked innocent until proven guilty meant you had to prove I did kill the eagle, I never have to prove I didn't, unless you somehow can prove I did.

[@Why_YouLooking]

What makes all these vessels take on water? I know some run aground. But are these other ones just getting swamped with waves? In Arkansas & Oklahoma we have eagles in the wild. Its awesome to see them.

[@Lvnshyrn07]

My only question for the code is why wasn't her tubed? Secure airway is emissary when you have a critical patient. If there's any USCG out there that know the answer I would love to know...

[@lisasellers5586]

They got ROSC 10 plus times Well done!

[@oldschoolwoolandweavingcen4060]

I respectfully disagree about the Commander's comment about eagles in the lower 48. I live in Central NY and we have eagles everywhere here. Cornell University has a raptor program that is instrumental in caring for, breeding, treating injured birds, and educating the public on them. They also host a bird cam with real-time cameras in the nests of various breeding birds so that at any time, 24-7, you can log onto your computer and see the birds in their natural breeding environment. And this is in New York. :-) Where I live is very rural, with lots of woodlands, thousands of acres of undeveloped land, hundreds of dairy farms, and hundreds of more small homestead farms.

[@daynatorngren7699]

Do the pumps get returned to the coast guard?

[@chrisabella624]

Boy an automated cpr device would have been nice on this call

[@kylecarmichael5890]

If you've ever heard the term agonal breathing, what the patient was doing in the helicopter is agonal breathing. I just wish they had an ET tube instead of an oral airway.

[@kristenkaz3080]

And to think Benjamin Franklin thought the USA’s bird should’ve been a TURKEY, instead of a Bald Eagle. Now that man was brilliant, no doubt, but THAT IDEA!?!? NOT SO MUCH, Sir. Turkey’s are great-but they’re not as regal as a eagle.

You guys really need to slow your compressions way down. He’s heart probably never beat that fast. And second,you’re going to wear yourself out before you get to the higher care. I’ve been in ems for 25 years. I think I probably know what I’m suggesting.
