it is not EASY dude!

who wants to do CPR?

anyone dares to raise his/her hand?

before that, let me tell u my experience doing that pushing and mouth to mouth thing. seriously man...it is not EASY!

i had a class in skills lab today. we have been thought about Basic Life Support(BLS) and also Advanced Cardiac Life Support(ACLS). damn! that mannequin sucked all my breath. almost all of them. i was gasping for air after doing all those things.

firstly, we have been separated to a few small groups. and as usual, me, rupesh, philip and chem was been in da same group. 1Malaysia group. hehe then the scenario came.

"a man, 60 year old, collapsed with no pulse and no breathing. act now!"

philip: group leader
rupesh: chest compression
chem: air bagging
me: iv access and drugs

philip checking on the patient.....NO RESPONSE!

chem with air bagging, rupesh was doing the chest compression and me, setting the IV line and drugs preparation.

still no pulse, no breathing.

i started doing the chest compression when that big rupesh claimed to be 'semput'.
how come meh?

patient in atrial fibrillation. ready for defib.
me clear! u clear! everybody clear! and then BOOM!

finally, our 'patient' got pulse and breathing again. we saved him! we saved him! thank god. hehe

*clap clap

anyway, it is not easy to resus a collapsed patient. althought we just playing with dead mannequin, we already felt the pressure working on him, to keep him back, alive. with the 'beeeeep' sound coming from the machine, plus a very short time to think and act, seriously, it is not easy. not easy at all. i just cant imagine myself doing it on human.

and it was so damn tiring. 5 cycles of CPR already sucked out all our energy. how can i stand another 5 cycles of CPR? *thinking

maybe a gulp of energy burst drink. haha

p/s: i like this posting, i love this posting. all the doctors are funny, nice and goooooood looking. *twink twink
