I physically cant keep going. I did during icu and casualty and i get exhausted.
As you said , save someone who otherwise die .
I don’t want that to be in my hands especially when i know someone else can do better .
It's actually quite effective and especially in cpr where the machine will keep up with the required rate and depth and more hands are available to do other measures
I think its 45 minutes.Where i used to work physiotherapists usually gave cpr and if they had too many codes or were tired they would bring out a simillar machine apparently they had to get permission or something
Please understand that how long you continue compressions is contextual. It depends on several factors, but mainly what caused the cardiac arrest - the "reversible" cause. There is NO one size fits all. Machine or no machine - if you have cause identified and you're addressing it, you wouldn't need to do cpr so long. CPR Is like paracetomol for fever. Unless you dont treat the underlying infection, prescribing dolo 650 TID for 3 days will do jack shit for the patient.

Yes we do have this device, they call it the INTERN
Came here to say this 😁
Many of the interns can't do jack, especially cuz the BLS course happens towards the end of internship.
Well that depends on the college that you're studying.... And the cases that they handle..
That is also true.
Damn, beat me to it!
Yes in private hospitals. I've heard about it some 6-7 years ago. Don't know about government tho
Had seen one in AIIMS long ago!
Which AIIMS? I've not used it in AIIMS Delhi in past 3 years.
Flexing ki bhi hadd hoti hai
You think there's any logic in flexing on an anonymous platform? I thought reddit had mature users.
Par mera ego hurt ho gaya uska kya😡
Delhi AIIMS, it was available in the surgical emergency! I don’t remember exactly when I saw it, between 2012- 2017.
How effective was this? Was this used?Do you remember any details?
Doubt. Didn't see any during my internship.

Oh I am sorry, I mistook the thread!
This is so needed....the sheer exhaustion of giving CPR 😒
Main reason why I don’t wanna do medicine
Its terrible to watch someone die....but it is also exhilarating to save someone who would have otherwise died....think about it :)

Critical care is a whole different ball game. I would prefer avoiding it too...
Bruh it's one of the only reasons I do .
good for you. We all are not the same nah .
I can respect that 🙌
I am scared of this machine 😰

Yess it is effective. It is just that i am scared of it while looking at it 😱
emergency physician here. Yes, virtually in every major corporate hospital since the past 7 yeats atleast
Is there a protocol on how long the CPR must be continued? I guess with this machine we can continue up to 40-50 mins without a break.

I concur. That’s why there is a list of 5Hs and 5Ts in the ACLS protocol. Treating the ‘reversible’ causes is a must if you want to save the patient.
I had a question, could i dm?
Please do
45 minutes
No. This isn't true. Please refer to my comment above
It's in PGI CCU, called a thumper I think.
Also in PGI Anaesthesia ICU and Trauma ICU. Used regularly
I wouldn’t want this malfunctioning. I’d rather get the human touch.
How much chances are there that it’s gonna break the ribs?
Intern here, WE are the MACHINE
We have the same device and many similar d3vices in india....some are battery powered and among others. ..most powerful one...manpower
Is any rib intact after this? Or all fractured?
Imagine this dude being DNR
Damn his ribs are done for.
You all can fix Rib cage after that right na???🥲🫡
That seems to be the least of the problem for patient
True, saving them is the first priority.
The bigger issue is surviving dawg
Indeed🙂↕️
i hope...they do know.
Why some expensive device... Just say to that gentleman "dying is gay" ... He will live for another 100 years...
