CPR in Action | A 3D look inside the body
This 3D animation was designed to share life-saving information with the general public to demonstrate the importance of good, effective CPR!
Effective compressions create an artificial pump and send oxygenated blood to the brain to keep the brain alive. CPR also keeps blood and oxygen moving through the heart muscle itself so that it has the best chance of being successfully defibrillated when the AED arrives.
After a Sudden Cardiac Arrest, brain damage will start to set in within 4 minutes and is irreversible after 10 minutes. CPR is the person’s only chance of survival while waiting for an automated external defibrillator to arrive.
Action First Aid is committed to widespread access, awareness and public education about when and how to use an AED and perform effective CPR. Please share this video with all of your loved ones and friends as together we truly have the power to save more lives! Learn more at www.actionfirstaid.ca/

Cpr saved my life. Had a cardiac arrest and 49 mins of cpr before the defib got it back to normal. I was in a coma for a while from the lack of oxygen to the brain, but ended up neurologically okay!
I'm so glad!
so you are one of the lucky few lol most aren't so lucky and cpr classes teach monsters to ignore dnrs
So glad you’re here on earth with all of us ❤
Thank the good lord wow amen❤
thank god you are healed now
Don’t care if ribs break, for a beginner that’s literally the first question. Thanks for clearing it out .
It's only a rib.... that's ok
@@mysticalpie4695 Lol
"They grow back" - Whispers to a bird - "No they dont"
@@Dave12412 that’s how I lost my medical license
You don't care about your ribs if you are dead so....
CPR can save lives, even if you're really not confident at all and can't do it properly, always remember that : A bad CPR is better than no CPR.
The worst CPR is better than no CPR
still need to be careful, I've seen video of man doing wrong cpr just recently here in Philippines but there was already a blood coming out from the girl who was drowned, possibility he pushed it too hard.
@Tommieloola🌹 the purpose of cpr is to manually do what the heart automatically does; which is to provide blood supply to the rest of the organs by pumping blood. if there is no pulse, the heart is not pumping and that’s when we need to help the heart do what it does. check for pulse from 5seconds to 10seconds (mainly carotid and radial pulse for adult, you can google these locations) and while you’re at that, have a look at their chest and see if they’re breathing. if there is no pulse, you need to start cpr, push as deep as 5cm/2inches for adults (you may break their ribs, and they can sue you for breaking their ribs too)
Yes, if anyone is not feeling confident in their cpr skills or are hesitant to act as needed in a situation where someone needs cpr, just imagine that the patient has NO chance at surviving without cpr and with cpr they have some chance. Some chance is still a chance. 👍
@@benspaghetti4502 so she died?
I've had to do CPR once when I saw someone drop in a public place What most people don't know is how physically exhausting it is, I kept it up for 7 minutes until paramedics showed up, and by the end of it I near enough thought I was going to die myself, and that was with adrenaline helping You shouldn't just learn how to do it, you also need to be able to maintain the level of exertion necessary to keep it up until help arrives, and a lot of people don't have the level of fitness needed to do that for more than a few minutes And yes, the patient survived, got a call from him a couple of days later
Good for you! The panic and the exhaustion are really something.
Good to use others to help out if possible.
God bless you
You are an angel!
@@inuhundchien6041 the fact I have a pilot license makes that comment more accurate lol
Never would have thought I would hear the phrase “if ribs break - that’s ok”, but here we are. Very interesting video, this is exactly what I like to watch at 1am when I don’t want to sleep. Really got me thinking of learning the CPR and why a life-saving skill like this isn’t mandatory to learn at school.
Fr. Insomnia got me watching CPR videos. It’s currently 2:50
Here (Poland) it is along with few similar things
It was mandatory to learn in ohio
@@picklepickle7306 Average school in Ohio
Yea that’s okay I learned that during law class for medical treatments If ever the patient himself or a related member wants to sue you for breaking the ribs during CPR and thus saving his life, the attorney is going to laugh at him
This video is more informative and easier to understand than anything the AHA has ever put out. Even EMT school didn't explain CPR this effectively.
Welcome to the USA, where everything is overly more expensive (either directly or indirectly) than its quality and you don't have much freedom to choose.
True
I agree
I know right? But name one thing government does well (other than war)
@@tioswift3676 😆
Anyone else watching bc they’re bored?
me😅
Watching this incase I need to give someone else CPR
How did you know?!
No I was watching it BECAUSE I was interested
👍 yup
I saved a life using CPR. The feeling you get after your hard work pays off is indescribable. I was very relieved and happy.
Wow Such a great work😍🤟🤍
God bless you
Wow...really respect this comment thx. Can you briefly mention your experiences from a to z. Maybe too much, I'm sorry for that, but nice!
Yeah did you break some ribs ? Very happy yeah, hopefully the person you saved did not spend a few miserable months / years in the hospital dealing with the severe implications and complications of broken ribs. I can go over countless cases. Fortunately, it is not like that with everyone, but more than people think . The people you save you end up never seeing again fortunately, but some of them end up with complications and wish they had died.
You're a hero❤
"if ribs break, that's okay." Amazing advice. The most important thing in this situation here is life. Don't put somebody's life in jeopardy because you don't want to hurt them. Even with broken ribs, they will thank you when they wake up living and breathing in the hospital.
This is true. But one should take care because broken ribs can also lead to the victim drowning with blood, as the broken pieces can perforate the lungs. I've heard stories like this.
@@eduardemanuelroman1815 I agree but it’s probably their best chance of survival. But i think rib damage that drastic would only be like, if you’re slamming into somebody who’s like 130 lbs, at full power lol I’m no medical expert however so I cannot say anything definitive
@@Cazzi382 Indeed. I just watched another video on how to perform CPR without breaking ribs. It said that actually ribs are not being broken. They just pop out from their cartilages. And that sound is like when snapping fingers. So, this gives a little more confidence when performing CPR, not to get scared if you hear the sound of ribs getting "broken" .
Indeed. Waking up with broken ribs >>>> not waking up at all
@@Cazzi382I don’t get why survival is so important to someone who is already dead. 😊
I learned this from a 3 hour lesson, it’s all about rhythm and the right amount of compression. How fast you should compress should be two presses per second maximum if possible. If you’re pressing once per second it’s too slow and won’t be able to pressurize oxygen to the brain. Don’t try to put your full weight for every press since you need to also allow the chest to decompress to bring in blood to the heart.
Thanks
That is exactly what I was wondering, how many compressions per second
@@WalturdTheCat It is literally said here in the video: 1:32
@@KalashDaCat oookay, like literally.
@@WalturdTheCat If you check online, you can find metronomes on the internet. (Which is what I do to refresh my own memory as an EMT) Set it to 100 BPM and let it play. Then set it to 120 and let it play. As long as your compressions are the right depth (remembering that they are different for different age groups - one of the reasons why training is so important) and within those ranges, you'll do fine. Believe in yourself, and learn what to do.
I worked as a hospital nurse for decades and also was a CPR instructor. This short but very Informative video would have been a great asset to my CPR attendees.
I agree!
CPR is one of those things where everyone knows it can save your life but never how it actually works
I'm not a CPR person, but I feel strangely motivated to do good things and not give up things I'm working on in my personal life!!! Thanks! 😁💪🏾👍🏾
hahaha i got the exact same feeling!! funny
Guess that’s why we’re here ..
Everyone is a CPR person
@@simeon6120 I mean Currently Trained in Medical CPR, aka. Certified. If you practice CPR and your certification has expired or you never had one, you can be sued if you do something wrong or if the person dies while under your undertrained care. My last CPR instructor told us that because methods of saving a person's life change over time and if you're not a Currently Certified and Trained CPR person, you could lose a person's life. E.g. it used to be so many presses on the chest, then alternate to so many mouth-to-mouth breaths, then continuing to alternate until EMS arrive. But then, at the time of my last training in 2012 or so, they said focus on heart massage, so don't stop to do as much breaths, but keep up with chest compressions. So, that's what I meant when I said, "I'm not a CPR person". But hey! 🤷🏾♀️it's whatever you make of it!
@@glasshousefuture6836 I completely agree, thank you for the clarification!
This will help save lot of lives. My best friend lost her father many years ago because of heart attack and no CPR could be done on him because no one near him knew how to do it. Thank you so so much🌍💝
If somebody is having a heart attack, it’s best to NOT do cpr
@@spookypeaches why?
@@englishdicktionary1611 unless they are going into cardiac arrest, you should not do cpr on somebody having a heart attack because whenever somebody is having a heart attack there’s already too much activity going on in the heart and you will just cause more damage
@@englishdicktionary1611 Because Cardiac Arrest and Heart Attack are two different things. CPR is to be given for Cardiac Arrests.
@@englishdicktionary1611 NYS EMT-B here; just by way of clarification, which I hope may be helpful. If a person is having or believes they are having a heart attack and is still conscious and alert, CPR is not called for. As was said, a "heart attack" and cardiac arrest are two totally different things. In its most basic form, a heart attack is caused by blockages in the arteries of the heart. Cardiac arrest is a situation in which the heart has stopped beating or is not beating in a manner that will sustain life. If you approach the person and they are conscious and responsive, you don't need to do CPR. If they are unconscious and unresponsive, or if they suddenly become that way, begin CPR as you have no way of knowing if they've gone into cardiac arrest or not.
This is so important to learn, I had CPR performed on me by my ex husband after a dangerous arrhythmia, I came around in the hospital struggling to breath because my rib had been damaged, I couldn’t feel my arm for weeks, but I was alive. It really doesn’t matter, CPR is brutal but it saves lives ❤
hello
he saved your life why is he your ex
@@HarisAli-sw5xr Use common sense pleasee
After years of taking required cpr training, it now makes sense 😅 quality medical animations, script, and narration!
It's very helpful for medical students & common peoples 3D animation to understand easily ❤️
I saw this video 3 months ago and last week I saw an old man walking on the street but suddenly his heart stopped so I remembered this video and did exactly what the video was saying (I'm only 12) and I saved his life! My parents were a bit shocked then we called an ambulance and they came a few mins later. I'm pretty much shocked too bc I saved a man's life and this is literally my first time I just don't know what to say. . .
Well done
@@Sachinsharky thx👍
Darn, nice job boss. Only 12 and such coolness and bravery. Hats off to you. Be proud of yourself!!
What a champ❤
I worked in patient transport in a hospital for two years. Our department had a few of us that responded to code blue's in the hospital to do chest compressions so that nurses didn't have to and could handle other order that Dr.s were yelling out during the code. Ribs breaking was very common. You can feel them break when you start CPR. It can be extremely difficult on some people as well. Almost feels like you're pushing against a wall while on others it is much easier. Hopefully you never have to use CPR, as it can be pretty hard to watch, and that's coming from someone who only saw and did it in a hospital environment. I can't imagine how it would be in a Walmart trying to keep someone alive so medics can get there. It's so important to know how to do this, but make sure you have others in your life that know how to handle CPR as well. You would be shocked at how quickly you start to tire out giving CPR. In the hospital we would at least be able to rotate people in and out to give others a break if a code ran for 30-40 minutes.
I had a cardiac arrest and total 50mins downtime with CPR just 1 month ago during the hiking, my wife and friend saved me until the emergency team arrived. lucky and my ribs is fine.
Same I did it 2 times to my Father It was terrifying The sight made me shiver I was panicking the whole time The 2nd time I was mostly focusing on doing cpr properly
Remember: optimal CPR pace is the rhythm of "stayin' alive"
also "another one bites the dust," but its not as optimistic 😂
or high way to hell :P
@Air cooled 100 - 120 BPM is a comon speed in many songs ;)
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
The Office anyone??
This is a fantastic video! I haven’t taken first aid classes in over 30 years. I appreciate this channel posting this video. It may save someone’s life. It may save mine.❤
Same with me! I was approved at the time as I was in high school! That wasn't exactly yesterday and I have to learn how to do this again! I know things have changed also from what I got taught at the time.
I surely needed this refreshing course. Living surrounded by seniors it is imperative to do CPR the right way. Thanks for putting this on KZhead!
Seniors who don’t want their ribs cracked etc really need to sign advanced directives clearly stating DNR.
I have so much respect for those people who will work tirelessly to save a life. CPR can really be tough.
I never fully understood the motion was to create pressure, now it makes total sense why it’s important to push hard and at that rhythm. Makes sense to see this visually thank you so much
I have learnt CPR in the Army service but this short film teaches a lot more than that.
What country and mos? graduated us army bct Aug 18th ‘22 and did not learn this.
DONT DO CPR IF SOME ONE HAS EXTREM BLEEDINGS. You just pump the blood out of the boody! First the wounds must be ligated (Tourniquet)
Great video! Its so much easier seeing how different compressions effect the body, this helps so much!
Wow, I can't think of a more perfect visual demonstration than this. Thank you so much!
This is the best explanation for an effective CPR that I have ever seen! Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you for this educational video. You taught better than most teachers in my school.
I was that person 20+ years ago and fortunately we got the lady back after 4 shocks from the defibrillator. Back then I was a bystander. Now I help people on a daily basis. Effective CPR is literally life or death.
Amazing how life-saving this maneuver is
I'm studying to be paramedic and i'm amazed how this vid have 0 comments. Thank you for this info ♥
well you can check now.
Hungária - Nagyon tetszik, ahogy lehet látni a mesterséges lélegeztetés közben a folyamatokat !
This video should be essential viewing for every human on this planet. Thank you.
Thank you for this wonderful explanation about cpr. The itaewon incident show that everyone should know the basic of doing first aid on people that need it before proper help arrived.
I came here after watching that too.
After years of taking required cpr training, it now makes sense quality medical animations, script, and narration!
I remember being a lifeguard and the dummy we had would click, and that really helps w memory and knowing how far to press. Definitely recommend this when teaching new guards.
One of the fewer video algorithms that is not useless. Thank you!!!!
Great! Thanks for giving more clear picture about CPR
Can't imagine the yoke of doctors and the emergency response team place upon their shoulders...God bless them abundanly .
0:59 Love this animation. Thanks for this life saving video.
I took a CPR course about 30 years ago... I figured it was something I would never have to actuallly do. Well... never came today. Out with my wife and daughter and a fella literally dropped dead right in front of us... He was gone before he hit the floor. But we acted.. between the three of us, we did compressions for over 20 minutes until the ambulance arrived. He had a pulse going into the ambulance but was not breathing on his own. We just found out in the last hour that he made it. He is now sat in hospital breathing on his own and conscious. The range of emotions we are all feeling range from abject terror and trauma to pride. This is the bit they dont tell you about in training.. how administering CPR regardless of the outcome makes YOU feel.
wtf this video is amazing.. loved seeing what goes "wrong" with improper CPR. learned a lot.
Thanks! I don't have to pay for classes and just practice at home! ❤❤❤
Love these kinds of explanations, not just explaining what you should do, but showing why it's being done and what should be happening on the inside when doing it right
Helpful information....knowing what CPR does is critical to do it correctly. Thank you.
This is a great video, thank you! It has really helped me to understand and visualise CPR.
This is very helpful! I learned how to do CPR in high school but I never could imagine this was what’s happening inside the patient body when I am doing CPR! Fantastic 3D image to showcase how important it is to do this correctly. 🙌 I actually learned how to do CPR while I was training as a life saver swimmer in YWCA. But we only used a dummy and I couldn’t have imagined it’s actually like this. Thank you!
Had to do this last week for the first time in my life without any real prior training. Happy the person survived :)
I've not had a chance to learn CPR yet but this video helps to at least not make some very common mistakes if I ever had to administer it!
Great animation which everyone should learn from 6th Grade...it's simple, effective and if you save a life, imagine how you would feel!
The most complete video I've ever seen on the subject until now.
Great video. People who know how to do CPR, thank you for learning
Very helpful. I hope non of us will ever have to be in this situation. Stay safe
Found this video after watching coverage of the Damar Hamlin mishap. This video really helps people to understand why the timing is so important. Great video.
Of course you did you puppet. Fuck Damar. Why does the whole country care about one football player? The media owns you.
@@Leonida-Man maybe but your missing a mind.
Just took a cpr class and got certified this is helpful thanks 🙏
I love this example giving what happens if things are done the wrong and right way ❤
I ditched business class to get CPR certified in high school. No regrets there ... And it was nice to see this video.
This is so useful. Really explains everything well.
why do videos like these always come in my recommendations when I'm trying to sleep... It is 4 in the fucking morning but I just couldn't resist the urge to see this😖
because youtube only makes money if you watch videos ;)
Thanks for this video. This video helps save lives and teaches us how to do CPR. Thank you.
This should have been in my cpr training. It makes so much more sense now.
Very good visualisation of what happens if CPR is incorrectly executed.
What to do if no one is around and unable make call to ambulance? Can patient come to normal by only CPR?
In my opinion, if patient have a really serious problem, there is on way they can be normal just only do CPR.
CPR just make patient go through emergency time or at least keep their brain alive( when their heart stop) after that they have to do some test or treatments to make sure their health is ok.
Put the phone on speaker and hope the ambulance gets their on time
You would be the one to call the ambulance and then talk while doing compressions
Good job explaining how hard you need to push. I've met a lot of people who didn't realize how hard a proper push needs to be.
This absolutely needs to be taught in school.
When i learned CPR they said the "stay alive" song is just perfect for the rythm
I'm a Doctor-in-training and i can tell this will be super helpful when the time comes the teacher teaches us CPR Thank you for teaching us this simple yet vital information that has saved many lives
🙏
imagine pumping unconscious guy's heart manually for 10 min until help arrives. sounds real tiring
It is! And some people go longer! At that point I think it's just determination and how bad you want to save the person!
10 minutes is nothing compared the long life they can have
@@merge9585 i agree
NYS EMT-B here; having worked as part of a team doing CPR I can tell you that it is incredibly tiring. However, your adrenaline will help considerably. It's one of the reasons, though, that as cold as it may sound, the training always says "Continue CPR until help arrives, someone else can take over, or until you're too tired to continue." Sometimes, sadly, that's what happens.
Aighthow bout womens chest id be motivated to do cpr💀
this is a must-see! In fact, I learnt CPR after I saw and understood this video, amazing explanation...
We need more of like this instead of daily bullsh!t videos on the internet.
I think I actually learned more from this video than from school.
Great video! Always thought the chest motion was to somehow retrigger the heart to start pumping again by following our hand rhythm, a bit hopeless I thought. Now I understand it's for keeping the flow of blood to the body and brain manually
Doesn't it trigger the heart though? Can't the heart start beating again?
@@martijneerdekens2472 That is incorrect. Cpr just buys time to get a defribillator and drugs to the patient which are used to restart the heart. Wihout it cpr doesn't do all that much. Hence the importance of first calling emergency services.
@@walterblack5393 And if drugs are being used (See ACLS) you still need the compressions to actually move the drugs into the body. Epi, mag etc wont do shit if its just sitting in the AC lol
@@swisdom9117Well, technically no. It applies pressure to the hart to push out the blood, and send them off to the rest of the body.
Imagine falling asleep at a sleepover and waking up to someone performing CPR on you. Talk about a rude awakening 💀
Thanks a lot, CPR understanding made simple, easy and clear, thumbs up!!!
Beautifully illustrated, well narrated
Amazing explanation 🤩🤩
My favorite line on 0:36: "The power to save a life is truly in your hands."
That last part was very needed!
Imagine searching for a CPR tutorial video in case of Emergency & waiting for a 30sec advert
good thing this isn't supposed to be a tutorial lol. this is a "how does cpr work" video not a "how to do cpr" video
Our maths teacher had cardiac attack during our maths class 😱 but our geography sir was passing by he saw him fainting he started doing CPR while we all rushed to tell the incharge madam and he was rushed to the hospital thankfully there was a good hospital nearby 🙏
How is your maths teacher now?
This is the greatest animated explanation. I use it for training. Thanks for making them both.
This video is great! Lots of people are visual learners, and this helps a whole lot.
You know what I think is crazy I watch so many informative videos about biology or physics yet in class when I actually learn the stuff I get too scared to answer any questions just in case it’s something else even though I’m sure it’s the same 💀
🤡
I completely agree with everything in this video... However the part with "If a rib breaks, that's okay" is funny to me because there have been lawsuits wherein the victim has sued the person for administering wrong CPR and breaking/shearing the upper ribcage
In all 50 states, the Good Samaritan laws would protect a person who acted in good faith and performed CPR, even if injuries occur. In order for them to be successfully sued, they'd have to have it proven that they acted with callous disregard for the person's safety or in an egregiously careless manner (something like doing CPR by jumping up and down on their chest with both feet). To my knowledge, no one has ever been successfully sued in such a manner, nor are they likely to be. "Administering wrong CPR" would be far too vague of a premise - they'd have to prove to a reasonable person that the rescuer was grossly negligent.
But did anything come of those lawsuits? Good Samaritan laws exist for a reason.
That's when you remind the person that at least they're alive to conduct the lawsuit...
This video explained me why we do CPR Thank you so much
My husband was a deputy and did CPR many times. Even as a strong man, it was exhausting. When the LUCAS took over, that was insane. What a machine! 😮
As an Emergency Medical Technician, this is what I have to say: Correct CPR saves lives.
Hey @KZhead stop putting ads on first aid videos! I can't watch an ad when my mom is having an heart attack
Is ur mom okay?!?
@@rounddoge6221 no she died ggs in chat
jk
I had no idea ribs could be broken during CPR until I was training for it. Years after discovering this, it still terrifies me. God I hope I'm never in a situation where I need to perform this.
This video is almost 100℅ very easy to understand how to perform first aid in patient with heart beat falure..super thanks ....it can help other people to save life in an emergency situation....God bless us...
Kudos to the man who got peeled off his skin and muscles to show how this works
Let's not forget that the biggest payouts in the markets don't come from great performances but rather it's great promotions. Stay invested, diversification for streams of incomes is very important And with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works.
Heard someone say the best season for a financial breakthrough is now, especially with inflation running at a four-decade high. I have approximately $650k stagnant in my port_folio that needs growth.What is the best way to take advantage of this downturn?
Just imagine retiring as a registered nurse, using all your income/salary to pay rent and tax without any good investment or means of extra cash, tending to leave your profession/job that has been part of you for many years with no good funds. How will you cope?
That's why we need to plan ourselves via making extras in all we do because depending on paycheck that can give us our comfort and peace till we die is not guaranteed
This is actually what most families are going through, tax and rents takes almost what they got monthly, leaving them with no savings
I'm a nurse and I saw all this coming, so l've planned myself so I engaged in forex trading, little I know about the business though but so far so good, Forex trading has been my very means of savings lately while my salary goes for bills and utilities
Wow. The most explicit explaination I've ever heard
Beautiful art work
If CPR dummies were built transparent and had veins and fluid inside of them, so they looked like this video, usefulness in training would increase tenfold.
This is simply genius, it would be pretty useful!
Remember: The speed of each chest compression should be the beat of staying alive, or another one bites the dust. A broken rib is preferable to death, so don't stop if something breaks. Ribs can be healed, brain damage can not. They may not survive. It's not your fault if they do, you did what you could and you did your best. If you are accused of doing something wrong or inappropriate, don't worry about it. You're trying to save a life. There is nothing wrong with that.
This is such a well thought out brilliant video. I just watched a different video but had no idea that the chest compressions were to simulate the work of the heart. One thing i really enjoy is informative videos. Well done to those who created this fantastic video!
Thanks for saying "dont worry if the ribs break". As a person who doesnt know how hard to push to 2 inches now have the idea on how to push it
Here after Hamlin collapse hope he’s alright
