What a true hero. I’m not crying, you’re crying!!
“My job done.”
If it’s like my hospital, they docked him for being late.
Talk about being at the right place at the right time. Good job brian this stranger is proud of you.
What a boss
She was pregnant, but it was apparently a heroin overdose. That is just as sad ;(

Major goosebumps when she said “they got a pulse”
I think we can all agree with the user who commented on this video
>”This is a man nood $$$. my Hero made my day one of the last Humans.”
Truer words may never be spoken
I know this has been uploaded before, but as someone who is currently in nursing school right now, videos like this motivate me to work harder.
CPR is something I believe everyone should learn. It’s pretty simple but the effects it can have on someone who needs it is drastic. It cost me $35 and 4 hours for the class and certification. Rather you know how to do it and not ever get a chance to do it than being unable to help someone who needs CPR performed on them.
Heroine OD? wonder if she had a pulse the whole time and was in cardiac arrest at all? Maybe she seemed dead (as is common with OD) and only needed assistance with respirations.
Some people like him save life’s on a daily basis. Rarely do they get this kind of recognition though. Good for him.
30 Years my mom has been an RN and most of that time in the ER. There are days she comes home really hyped up and tells us what she’s done. There are other days she comes home really quiet and we know not to ask how her day was.
*Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk*
*I’m a woman’s man: no time to talk*
I’d just like to say that performing CPR for 5 straight minutes is super impressive. We’re taught to switch out after 2 minutes because it’s so draining and the quality of compressions decreases dramatically after a few minutes. I’m amazed he was able to provide high quality CPR (enough that she was able to regain a pulse) for that long
Text book, continuous uninterrupted CPR. Well done.
Notice how heavy he’s breathing afterwards. The thing no one tells you is how hard it actually is. The video alone has him doing this for 2 minutes, don’t know how long before the video started. The training I’ve had we only go for one minute. And even after one minute you’re winded.
Another thing they don’t tell you. CPR will crack ribs. I’m a certified first responder (LEO) but have never had to first respond. My wife is a nurse, and she told me about how the ribs crack. The wimpy compressions you see on TV won’t do anything. Proper compressions are about 2 inches.
I hate to rain on the positive vibes, but I truly doubt the patient here was in cardiac arrest.
ROSC doesn’t just randomly happen, there needs to be some intervention (such as defibrillation). The patient was apparently suffering from an overdose. Opiate overdoses have highly depressed respiratory rates, as low as two a minute. Their pulse can also be incredibly weak/ slow. Nurses are NOT prehospital providers, and even experienced prehospital providers can miss identify an arrest. What is impressive is the length of that cpr. That stuff is super tiring.
I needed this. My dad passed away today after they performed CPR on him for almost an hour. Seeing it save another person cheered me up a little. Thanks, OP.
Red Cross rescuer here. **PLEASE UPVOTE THIS POST** to keep it high.
I read A LOT of posts here commenting on the fact that the woman had a pulse and didnt need CPR.
**THIS IS WRONG**. Its a very reasonable assumption, and it used to be the protocol up to 2000 or so. Several studies have concluded that pulse detection is very unreliable in first aid situations even by trained professionals.
If you are in doubt DO CPR. It cannot harm the victim.
**CPR protocol is this:**
Assuming no obvious trauma and no reason to suspect neck injury.
* check level of awareness, gently shake the victims shoulders and ask a couple of times “are you ok?”.
* do a head tilt-chin lift and check for breathing by placing your cheek over the victims mouth. Watch for chest movement, listen for breathing, sense the flow of air on your cheek for 10 seconds. You should detect 1-2 breaths. They should be effortless, gurgling sounds are not signs of breathing.
* If no breathing CALL FOR HELP AND start CPR. For trained people 30 chest compressions 2 assisted breaths. For untrained just do only chest compressions at a rate 100-120 beats per minute. The depth of the compressions for adults is 5-6cm (is that 2-3 inches?)
