A husband finds his wife on the kitchen floor, unresponsive and with no palpable pulse. He turns her onto her back and begins mouth-to-mouth breathing, the woman is still not breathing and her husband begins CPR. After the first round of CPR, he cuts open her T-shirt and tapes the defibrillator electrodes to her chest. The defibrillator does not recommend a shock and the patient has no pulse, it is necessary to continue massaging her heart. She is also connected to an ecg monitor and has a mask on her face for easier mouth-to-mouth breathing. Again, the defibrillator does not recommend a shock and only a flat line is visible on the ecg monitor. Resuscitation continues, her cervical spine is fixed with a collar and the defibrillator recommends a shock. The patient does not respond to the shock, the heart massage continues for another two minutes, the patient receives another shock, but her heart continues to fibrillate. I remove the mask from her face and start breathing through the ambu bag. I unbutton her bra and continue CPR... The video includes several camera angles and the sound of the aed defibrillator and ecg monitor.
