I think it would be cool if you made a short addressing the common misconception that defibrillators are used when someone is flatlining!

Respect for all Doctors and Nurses. May all be blessed ❤

[jennymulhall]

Big thanks to the doctor to save this man’s life & didn’t give up.

I just saw a real man’s life saved. This is a miracle of science and medicine. I have goose pimples all up and down my arms and my stomach feels like I have been on a roller coaster.

My husband had 2 heart attacks and a double bypass operation a few years ago then recently he commited suicide.
Its really hard to look at this.
Keep up your great work.

It's so beautiful that you can see his heart starting to beat normally again. To me that's is the most beautiful rythm

[Remmeister]

Which a lot of people don't realize, this isn't used when your heart isn't beating. It's used when the heart isn't beating correctly 😊

In reality restoring a normal sinus rhythm isn’t a big deal, you can restore it even after 20 minutes or longer, as the heart cells can deal with ischemia. The most challenging issue is dealing with post-resuscitation, so even if resuscitation was successful, braindeath, irreversible brain damage, and other complications that happen with re-perfusion of the tissues are the reason why most patients do not survive heart arrest.
So resuscitating the patient is a good thing, but it isn’t the biggest challenge.

I have Heart Failure and needed to have a defibrillator implanted into my chest in 2010. It has shocked me and saved my life several times. I wouldn't have made it to the hospital for this life saving work up. ♡

Man I swear everytime I see someone brought back to life it's just amazing and a miracle we really have good people out here.

Shout out to all doctors, nurses, EMTs, first responders, techs, and everyone else in the field of medicine for all your hard work & dedication. You save countless lives as we see here.👍
YOU are true HEROES!! 👏👏
Much Love...❤❤❤

Hat's off to these Indian doctors

[michman]

A good friend was shocked 17 times in a chopper following a heart attack. He needed 4 x by-pass. He's fine now, thank science and doctors.

[RobbyTripp]

Real life heroes. Thank you for what you all do! I had my life saved by the fire department and emergency room surgeons before, forever grateful.

[Missjonessd]

A life is a life! Seeing him revive is a miracle!

[milinbel]

I've had this done more times than I care to think about. I have an implanted defibrillator and still have had to have cardioversion. Waiting for a heart transplant.

God bless you kid hope you get better soon 🙏🙏🙏

God will continue blessing All the medical officers

I was a lone flight attendant on a plane w/ 50 passengers when a man was in full cardiac arrest. I was able to access my AED at 30k feet and then manual compressions until we did an emergency landing. He never regained consciousness and ended up in a coma for 12 days then underwent a triple bypass and valve replacement. This was 15 years ago and hes still with us today!
