Thankfully that idea fizzled out or numerous inebriated tourists passed out on the beach or fallen off a bar stool would travel back home with arrhythmia as a souvenir of their holiday in Thailand. OMG... Flat Earth Society live and kicking in Pattaya... As far as I know AED's (Automated external defibrillators) are fool proof And a little research. Quote While it is highly desirable that those who may be called upon to use an AED should be trained in their use, and keep their skills up to date, circumstances can dictate that no trained operator (or a trained operator whose certificate of training has expired) is present at the site of an emergency. Under these circumstances no inhibitions should be placed on any person willing to use an AED. https://www.resus.org.uk/defibrillators/training-required-to-use-an-aed/ Resuscitation Council (UK), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, different ideas 15/2, 30/2 I actually believe if you are on your own just go with the compression's with may be the occasional 2 or 3 breaths. P.S.

StayinThailand2much Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Kudos, Pol Lt Woraphan Kaewmorakot, for showing initiative, and a job well done, which is usually the task of lifeguards, not present on Pattaya beach and other beaches in Thailand. Every tiny beach in Hong Kong, just to mention one other place, has about half a dozen lifeguards, but Thailand doesn't seem to need them...

At the end of the day a persons life was saved, that is what is important. And just to add, it would be interesting to see how many of the negative posters know how to administor CPR correctly in the number of compressions and assisted inhalations to use. It isn't just a matter of pushing anywhere on a victim's chest and hope for the best. The policeman didn't write the article, he shouldn't be blamed for how he was put across. Kudos to all that were involved in saving a life....... He is not administering CPR correctly. I would think that the patient was semi recovered from the previous Samaritan. Surprised he is not smiling for the camera. That position and location will not restart a heart.. This is why you kneel on the left side where possible and locate the heart. It's not in the centre of the chest. I will say no more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. And the doctor who tested me last time said in elderly people it will happen. But you do not stop until a higher level of medical support is at hand. Two is certainly better than one.

This is why you kneel on the left side where possible and locate the heart. It's not in the centre of the chest. I will say no more.. I am not sure what you are talking about, reference the position of the heart regarding CPR. The policeman's hands are in the correct position, centre of the breastbone with the heel of the hand about two inches from the bottom of the sternum. Perhaps he could administer more pressure if he was kneeling, but IMO he is creating enough to keep the blood flowing the way he is. Ideal positions aside, as long as he is administering between 100 and 120 compression's a minute, he will keep the oxygenated blood flowing. It is now taught that for someone untrained in CPR compressions should be between 100 - 120 a minute without the need for rescue breathing. For a person trained in CPR, compressions should be 30 followed by 2 rescue breaths. In the case for CPR needing to be performed, it is 100% better trying than doing nothing if a pulse cannot be found on the injured person............. They will thank you for it later. Or not. The above facts come from training 2 months ago, I'm not in the medical profession, the methods for CPR have changed dramatically over the last 40 years but seem to have the same results in an impressive number of cases when carried out correctly. Correct position for the hands during CPR for an adult. Centre of sternum, 2 inches up for the heel of the hand. (this is the important bit) Position of the policeman's hands while performing CPR. Always better for 2 people to be flip-flopping until a proper medical doctor turns up to keep the blood flowing. It is tiring after a while, perhaps you have never had to do it?

dieter1 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) I do not want to comment on a cop being in the media for actually doing his job while working... normally it is a PR action.... I did help in many situations helpless people just in Pattaya alone, people being robbed, left with no money living in the streets(not with giving money- its more complicate) rescued drowning children at the beach, from pools (giving CPR ...), help people after having an accident, defend people against a mob, when they tried to beat them to pulp. Normally I not even get a "thank-you" .I can live with that. these people are mostly totally focused on their own misery. Interesting: In the beginning of these events, there are many curious onlookers. But after a while they loose interest and disappear. So many times after a while, everyone is gone except me and the victim/helpless person. What is bitter, most of the times, my friends react with criticising me, when they get to know of these events. They tell me, I am crazy to get involved and especially in Thailand. They tell me, that it is very dangerous to get involved , especially in accidents or in actions of violence. I do not want to comment on this either. I just want to say hello to the 1 % (?)percent of people, who react like me (not more). People, who help other people in those situations, help those who are in risk of life, not because it is your job but because it happens just in front of you and no one else is helping. I am talking to you, you who are helping when other people are in very need of your help and you are not asking yourself first, how risky it is for you to do it.

I can assure you that I have on many occasions. But the point many were making is the jocularity aspect of this bib post. Saying that he was using his training again in CPR. But as some stated, standing is certainly not a sustainable position. Your schematic shows from the left side, as I said previously. Yes, much fact and opinion on the method of application. I think the main line of comment was that he took over from the person doing it, obviously quite well. Kneeling would have been more effective and sustainable over long periods. But he would have to get sand on his trousers, lol. Enough said :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
