Third party websites fix that problem. Also why are you looking up videos. Call emergency services.
Sorry Gran, EMS is 20 minutes out. Hope you’ve been practicing holding your breath.
Yes, but 911 will provide pre-approval instructions for you and also start EMS
Source- am a 911 dispatcher
That said, a lot of our instructions fall a bit short of what you would learn from pretty much any first aid class, and we’re not really allowed to deviate from our approved instructions for liability reasons. So if you’re able to, everyone take some first aid classes. At the very least, you don’t want the first time you’re learning something to be in an actual emergency situation
I posted that as a joke but being serious, I got my Wilderness First Responder cert last year and honestly believe that these are skills I should have learned in high school. It was only a three week course but it gave such great information and preparation that it should be standard in education. The 911 operator I engaged with relayed information to and from the EMS that was heading to the site and I don’t think anyone is really going to use YouTube or similar for this purpose. Chances are, if they need YouTube, they are probably panicking and if not, then the operator can relay basics. Good on you for doing a damn hard job I know I couldn’t pull off.
Ah, someone with knowledge and experience in the field 👍
Can we ask, what would you suggest, assuming the Heimlich Maneuver has already been tried but didn’t work because the bone is sharp and stuck?
Needle nose pliers? Running out of time here…
