I want to say someone once stuck a 9v battery in an open wound and died. It's more about how effectively the electricity is transmitted and across what parts of the body. The heart is super sensitive to electrical impulses since that's what it uses to run itself.

also there's a specific range of current that's particularly dangerous to your heart: 100-200 mA

this doesn't stop your heart, it disrupts it into ventricular fibrillation which your heart can't get itself back out of, and which will quickly kill you without someone using a defibrillator on you


my fav part of circuits class was the unit on this, because the coursework had you determining the path of current (whether it went through the heart) and calculating resistance losses from the various body parts and stuff (to calc how many amps the heart got) and being asked if a person being shocked in this way or that way would be fatal or not

and before you ask, above 200mA can also easily kill you, but it's enough current that it completely contracts your heart muscles which protects it from going into fibrillation

In fact the whole point of a defibrillator is to give you that big dose of juice to completely contract the heart, so that it can then restart normally.

Yuuuup.....pretty sure the auto defibs we have at work will not zap a body.....its gotta detect a hosed up heart rate to zappo...could be wrong....I was looking at my phone too much in the last refresher course we had

Modern ones will sometimes tell you how to perform CPR, then decide it can give a shock and tell you to step away.

I am an awkward fellow
after all
AED Chat: I used one on a coworker when he had a heart attack in the last week of November. The most modern ones detect heart rhythm, shock if necessary, and then lead you through CPR including giving you a metronome, then a breath count, then a detection cycle, then a metronome, then a breath count, etc.

Things they don't often talk about in CPR/AED class: the unconscious gasping someone going through a heart attack does is loving terrifying sounding, the AED nails the person pretty good, but nothing like the jerking of the movies, the person will often unconsciously fight you as you are trying to save their loving life, and the person will spit into your mouth. They often feel real bad about these things if you save their life, so use it to gently caress with them, because what are they gonna do, they owe you a life-debt.

The fireman that gave our last class talked about the mechanical ones they use. Basically some robot clamp that they put on people that makes them go all ragdoll while it does its 95% success rate magic. I haven't had to do CPR on a person yet and hope I never do but I work in IT with a bunch of fats so I probably will...I'm still concerned about the whole breaking someones sternum thing just because they are unconscious rule...I mean they say just do CPR if someone is unresponsive but I worry because some guy a few years back just fell down and passed out and it had nothing to do with his heart....If his close coworkers weren't there I would have started CPR and hosed his poo poo up.

You probably won't break anything. Unless they're really young (smaller bones) or really old (brittle bones), or have some kind of bone condition, CPR should only cause bruising at worst. I mean you still might crack a rib or something, but the idea that if you don't break something then you're not doing it hard enough is a myth.

Personally I would rather have someone injure me doing CPR when I don't actually need it, than have them hesitate and fret about in a case when I actually do need it.

I'm not sure who led your course, but current first aid training in BC is that you check for responsiveness, then breathing, and then CPR. No checking for pulse, because if they're not breathing then they won't have one for long anyway.

Fun fact about AEDs: as a level 2 first aid attendant I am qualified to use one on someone, but I'm not qualified to stop using it. Once it's applied it has to stay on until the ambulance arrives and the paramedics shut it off, even if the person sits up and starts talking.

a friend of mine was tying rebar and he hosed up when he went to re-secure his harness. he fell three stories and smashed into the ground nearly at my feet. the noise of his body hitting the ground and the sound of him involuntarily gasping when his brain decided his lungs needed to start working again was terrible. it haunted me for a long time afterwards.

It'll probably be fine in practice. AEDs detect heart arrhythmia and won't shock if you have a normal heartbeat (or no heartbeat at all, as a defibrillator won't just restart a heart by itself), so a conscious person with a normal heartbeat is unlikely to be shocked again unless the machine badly malfunctions.

No guilt, it feeds in plain sight

Waaay back in the day, I had this friend who's grandmother had long ago suffered a stroke. She still had normal motor skills, but no feeling whatsoever in her left arm. One day we were hanging out, and she boiled us some hotdogs for lunch. I remember distinctly her simply reaching into the boiling water and lifting out the hotdogs without hesitation or showing off. I wasn't really blown away because I knew this woman was an alien of some kind and I was pretty much terrified of her ever since the time she wielded a baseball bat and trapped me in a closet for a half hour until my friend distracted her.

Yeah, I was told that you don't check for a pulse any more because people who aren't medical professionals end up wasting too much time trying to decide whether there is no pulse or whether they just aren't checking the right spot. Breathing is a lot easier to detect.
