yogavnture Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 i feel a bit offended you used the word straddle in the headline...........the man was dying. her job was a nurse paramedic. she was doing her job. not really appropriate the sexual innuendo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Grumpy Duck Posted February 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2018 The headline is perhaps inappropriate. Perhaps an effort to garner more views. Perhaps it might have been more appropriately titled, "Thai rescue worker trys vainly to save a mans life" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And bravo to the young lady. If the rescue worker was a 50 year old matron with a face like a pug dog, the video wouldn't have been posted here as a "news" item. Sexism is alive and well in Thailand. PS - Just speculating here: But what the article probably also didn't tell us is, the guy died and it probably took the ambulance a half hour or more to reach the hospital, where they would have had a defibrillator and other better equipment/care, because the ambulance was stuck in city traffic and not a single Thai driver on the road pulled over to let the ambulance pass.

watcharacters Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 5 hours ago, richard_smith237 said: I too applaud her efforts... Latest wisdom suggests that CPR is more effective starting off with 30 rapid Chest compressions then delivering breath 2 breaths followed by a further 30 compression. This is because the blood is theoretically already pre-oxygenated before the victim collapsed. This is in contrast to the previous recommendations which start with breaths (1:5 or 2:15) followed by compression. It also has something to do with circulating the pre-existing oxygenated blood through the brain immediately is of imminent importance. Given the real nature of this circumstance - a moving stretcher, it is better that anything was done and the compressions are most important. Of course, it would be good to see First Responder skills matching those of our home countries and it wouldn't take too much to get the Thai First Responders to these standards, however, in the meantime, anyone with the knowledge, even a little, who does anything to render assistance is deserving of applause and respect. I agree, I once read a full General once said in an emergency any decision is better than none at all. This lady did her best under the circumstances.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaifish Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 10 out of 10 for your efforts young lady. The other medics also. I wonder how many vehicles gave way and moved over to the left to let the Ambulance make it's way to the Hospital in the best speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being able to see the position of her hands on the patient's chest, I wonder how you make this conclusion. The Compression Rate is about right. As for the use of a Defibrillator, you clearly no nothing about CPR. Delivering a shock on a moving trolley surrounded by people would be extremely dangerous.

How many real-life scenarios of CPR being performed have you actually witnessed? Did they follow the script like in the movies?

Oziex1 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I believe we are being led down the garden path by the media adding a sexual angle to the story as it involves an attractive young women. The real value of this story is of course a trained first aider doing her job, but that is too mundane to get us clicking and reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROGER DUNN Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Good on that young lady for doing what she did , unfortunately the Man Died But what she did was very courageous , its a pity more Thais do not react like this. A video I saw recently on TV was of an Accident where a Truck mowed down some people and no body helped the injured, they just stood around and looked on.
