LOL. Around 55 seconds it calls the shock a "treatment". For some reason that just seems really funny to me. (And that may be because it is 01:45 and I am on my 4th run so far this shift)
I just have to point out how stupid I think that is. They make a big deal about how the pads are connected together making it easier to place them. So what do you do when you come accross someone who is smaller than the average patient?
Looks to me as if the big connector in the middle would interfer with cpr, and what if a sternal IO was needed? Do they expect you to rip off the pads?
Just looks stupid to me, and I'm curious to know what you guys think?

nothing instills confidence in your abilities to a family watching you work their loved one like your fisher price aed.
i lost it at the end when it said good compressions....the AED is cheering you on lol
...the red cross now has a dummy that is used for people who are FR/EMT that is a dummy with a computer that plugs in that measures the speed and compression ratio. That's whats good for EMS... training dummies. If you have a medical licence... you should be able to know how to do semi accurate CPR with good rate and compression.....
... unless your Michael Jackson's personal cardiologist..... then you do the compressions on a bed.
Ooooooooooh, too soon?
