That's how I understand it, but the 911 operator instructed me to do chest compressions. The paramedics found a pulse so it was probably unnecessary. When you have someone gurgling and turning purple on the kitchen floor, you kinda have to trust them.

I know the CPR classes I took years ago mentioned that you break ribs, but that doesn't actually prepare you for the way it sounds and feels when you actually do it.

I feel like the pandemic was a lot more fun when the market was tumbling and rich cunts were panicking and getting hosed just like everyone else.

depends on the underlying cause. cpr can work if the inciting cause of cardiac arrest stops (suffocation, overdose, lightning strike, etc.) in an otherwise healthy person. people dying after being coded in the hospital have serious underlying disease that will still be there if the heart starts beating again. defibrillators are for life-threatening abnormal rhythms.

it's complicated--there's a difference between chest compressions and mouth to mouth breathing and you need to take a first aid class to learn when each is appropriate to use. trying to fix a problem with oxygen getting into the blood by just pumping more blood around is going to be useless for example

you can feel their ribs snapping in half or popping off their sternum

i'll just spoiler this

billion year old woman, weighs maybe 90 pounds, was found on the floor near her bed by her caretaker. she was staying in the basement of a house. hx of dementia, copd, you name it. this was in february. no one knew how she got on the floor.

by the time she got to use she was so cold the thermometers wouldn't work. she was like 7 breaths per minute. o2 sats were dropping quick. we put the bear hugger blanket on her trying to get her temp up. completely unresponsive. Very obviously dying.

she was a full code.

no one wanted to touch her. this woman is dying. it's time. but we couldn't get in touch with her family and no one wanted to intubate her. she's crumping. heart rate is in the low 10s. No femoral pulses. doctors are just like "we're going to do one round of acls and that's it."

one full round of acls is constant compressions for five minutes, maybe a shock if we get a shockable rhythm, 2 shots of epi and a hit of amio. someone ambu bagging her the entire time, forcing air into her lungs.

we do this and we can hear/feel her ribs snapping. Pumping her full of drugs. the pulse just won't come back. we stop compressions and take off the ambu mask. She coughs up blood and starts moaning in pain. She was awake for all of it.

one person audibly gagged. no one knew what to do. she was coughing up blood, struggling to breathe. we've pumped her full of so much epinephrine that her body doesn't know it's dead.

doctor just says "no. gently caress this" and calls her time of death. SHE IS STILL OBVIOUSLY ALIVE.

Myself and two other nurses just sat there with her while she died for the next ten minutes. Like one breath every 25 seconds.

We just found out today that an employee at my work has tested positive for covid. I work in a grocery store in AZ (not Kroger, Walmart or Whole Foods) in a well to do suburb of Phoenix. We don’t work in the same department and I haven’t had close contact with them, but gently caress man. It was inevitable, I’d say maybe half of our customers wear masks, and maybe half of the employees wear their masks correctly (like only covering their mouths and not their nose, lowering it to loving talk, etc.) Store management is doing their best to make it seem like not a big deal, but I was talking to the grocery manager earlier and he’s considering bailing for at least five days if just for his own mental health. I’m at work right now, everyone is on edge except management. They’re not requiring anyone quarantine besides other employees who had overlapping shifts with the confirmed case. I knew this would eventually happen, but I don’t know what to do next. how the gently caress are we supposed to go on just like business as usual? Today we are doing major table changes in my department, we’re already understaffed and since we’ve officially reopened in AZ management has been expecting performance to be just as it always was. I’m trying to get everything done but all I can think is “gently caress this, there are more important things going on right now.”

sorry for rambling, I’m just scared of bringing this poo poo home to my wife, scared of maybe already giving it to my family and hers. stay safe goons.

the combo of OPEN ER UP and the >500 riots will probably make things Big prior to that timeline, to be honest

Oh, yes. But bad in that predictable fashion that doesn't result in "oh poo poo" as much as "gently caress this poo poo".
