With as much water as he has injested and aspirated I am surprised that he was not put on his side
first to get the water out of his lungs so they could absorb some air. Glad those guys knew what
to do.
Five minutes not breathing could cause brain damage.

#4 I work as a firefighter and I am involved in such situations from time to time aswell. I can assure you, it's not possible to do proper heartmassage without breaking any ribs.. (i) To do any good you have to compress the chest atleast 5cm but not more than 6cm.

He kinda looked braindamed at the end. But I guess, thats normal after coming back to life.

#4 That is about the most rubbish comment i have ever seen or heard... did you not watch the video? Did you see that those potentially broken ribs saved his life. Who gives a rats arse about some broken ribs!
Very well done to the resque team :)

I think #4 wants rather die than come back to life with some broken ribs.

Breaking the ribs creates the risk of puncturing the lunge which isn't optimal in a situation like that. Craking them is pretty much "fine" but you have to be alot more violent than they were to make them break enough to be able to puncture the lunge.

I've done compressions a number of times. (Am a registered nurse) It most certainly is not pretty, but younger people tend to do much, much better than older folks. I worked an 85 lb 90 year old lady (DNR people! Have a living will!) one evening and every compression sounded like rice crispies. I dunno know if she made it or not, last I saw of her they were rushing her to ICU still in full code.

First thing I thought of though when they pulled up in the little Polaris yelling "Bring the defib" was, "They better get his ass out of the water before they even think of putting that thing on him." Glad to know they realized it too! Why in the hell didn't they have the AED on the car though? Oh, and btw, contrary to ever popular belief, you do NOT use an AED to 'restart the heart', you actually use it to STOP the heart (and knock the heart out of a shockable rhythm like V-fib/tach) in the hope that the natural pacemakers of the heart take over.

You betcha! That's one of those things you see on TV ALL the time. Proper response for no pulse/asystole or what they call PEA, or Pulseless Electrical Activity is CPR.
