From watching a few other videos produced by ‘biomed’ it appears to be some form of sit comm. Check out there website http://www.911bio-med.com :wink:

Strange video, they have a pediatric mask as well as intubated and and an adult mask on the supposed patient as well.

I have seen patients talk in cardiac arrest, yes it can happen... albeit not very long.

Good job Timothy!

Yeah, the site says these are all staged resus attempts.

it seems that the video I posted wasnt correct but yes they did have more videos. A patient talking during an arrest? In the video I posted the patient was blinking at regular intervals as if she was just lying down allowing them to work her.

Havent seen any of this yet during any of the codes I've had but really hope I don't. It would bother me.

I always love it when, on some soap opera, somebody who is intubated and on a ventilator starts moaning and talking in a raspy voice. Uhhh... time to check that tube placement, guys!

Not that I watch soap operas. :oops:

hahaha Dust. Ever watch them with the sound off?? Even better!
