Defibrillation

I'd, I'd...

And I was like, uh, "Defib, defib.

Does anyone have a defib?" And this guy didn't have...

He couldn't speak English, but he was like, you know, "Maybe..." He's s- s- whatever, and he comes over me.

It's like...

And so I, what I did was, 'cause he couldn't s- speak English, so I just ran to the extract.

"Defib, defib.

Anyone have a defib? Defib.

Ventricular fibrillation can occur during contrast injection, especially into a small right coronary artery or the conus branch, or with deep catheter engagement.

Defibrillate immediately in the catheterization laboratory.

The defibrillator should always be attached or within arm's reach.

Bradycardia and transient asystole can occur with right coronary injections, with vagal reactions, and during rotational atherectomy of the right coronary artery, where some operators place a temporary pacing wire in advance.

Start high-quality CPR.

Defibrillate when indicated using normal energy levels.

Give the standard resuscitation medications when indicated.

Secure the airway early, particularly because pregnancy gives us both rapid desaturation and potentially more difficult airway management.

Sat down with a defib and fortunately in my side James is a nurse and calmed the situation down.

Kev's shirt was ripped off and James put the defib in place, held Kev's head properly and we let the DFIB do the work.

It told us Kev required a shock immediately.

DFIB then monitored Kev and needed CPR, which myself and Ian, our captain, took it in turns, forming chest compressions.

Kev had three shocks, and just after the third shock, the ambulance crew, thank goodness, were running across the pitch, and the first thing the lady asked me, she said, how many shots has Kevin had? I said, I've just done a third.

She put her finger there, felt a pulse, realised that he'd recovered.
