21-year-old with sudden cardiac arrest!! Would you know what to do? Notice the quick initiation of CPR and application of the gym AED which saved her life. Perfect example of why training the public in CPR/ AED use is so important. She has a rare heart condition called Bland White Garland Syndrome where the left coronary artery originates from the pulmonary trunk. Some other causes of sudden cardiac arrest in the young: Commotio Cordis, Brugada Syndrome, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Long QT Syndrome, WPW. Remember CPR basics for Adults: - 2 hands center of the chest, lower half of breast bone - At least 2 inches compression depth - 30:2 compression to breath radio - Stop each breath when you see the chest rise - 100 to 120 compression rate per minute (no medical training or do not feel comfortable giving breaths - just do compressions) - No delay in compressions over 10 secs. Better outcomes if no delay. Follow the courageous woman in this video at @emilysheartbeat Credit to @wildernessdoctor and @medicaltalks #cardiacarrest #cpr #MedEd #FOAMcc #MedTwitter #MedX
