"If a patient's heart does start beating, they may be left with bruised or bleeding lungs. And damage to the brain and kidneys is not uncommon – because of the time spent without the heart pumping blood around the body.

In 80 per cent of cases where CPR is successful, the patient never leaves hospital. "

"For a person in full health, whose heart stops unexpectedly, CPR, if given within minutes, offers a ten to 20 per cent chance of survival.

There is still a significant risk of long-term damage, but the benefits far outweigh this.

If a person has serious long-term health problems, and their heart stops unexpectedly, CPR has a smaller chance of success – the heart may restart, but the body is unlikely to recover.

And if a person has a terminal illness, if they are dying, and if there's significant damage to the lungs, liver and kidneys, CPR is futile, in my opinion.

Restarting the heart cannot repair the damage already done by the illness."

I was a life guard for ten years. Had to perform CPR once. Saved a life.
Yeah... it would have been better to let this person die...

[Mermaid Girl]

Just to clarify, not being snarky to you. My snark is directed to this idiot cancer surgeon.

[ryderann]

Good heavens...if CPR is brutal and undignified, try giving birth!

"it almost never works"
"Their clothes are pulled off"
"It is noisy."
"Rib fractures are incredibly common"

Does all that matter if you'll be dead for certain without it? I don't know, I'm not dead.

Having worked for years in a big city ER I've seen CPR performed more than a few times. Seems to me that it didn't work very often.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

This is propaganda from the narco/pharma hospital death industry.

Being a CPR survivor, I am glad the couple who administered it to me did not feel the same way.

This is one of the most odd and foolish things I’ve read recently. I work for an organization that teaches life saving skills including CPR. The testimonials from survivors are amazing. Of a family member or a total stranger saving a life by following a simple process. Recommend that everyone learn CPR, you might save someone you love, or become a hero to someone you don’t know.

But chemo is just fine with this wench, especially in HER case...

Wonder if she used the NHS for her care...

Good. That’s more resources according to the elites who push these narratives.

[9YearLurker]

“Undignified”? That’s the spin now?

CPR is brutal, undignified

Jeez, lady. You must really hate heart transplants. Or giving birth.

[ConservativeMind]

This is crazy.

CPR is taught in Red Cross classes and I learned it in sixth grade.

CPR is meant to provide patients an opportunity to keep their body alive. It may be enough to bring them back or it may need to be done until paramedics arrive with their crash cart/defibrillator.

It saves many lives. The concept of “dignity” by not doing it is disgusting, outside of one person choosing it for themselves. Choosing it for others is an immoral option.

It’s like abortion, only with people outside of the womb who are having a physical problem.

Last summer during a game in our senior softball league, a player dropped like a rock when his heart just stopped beating. Fortunately, there were a couple retired firefighters on his team who immediately began heart compressions till the ambulance arrived within 10 minutes. He made a complete recovery and has since had I think a pacemaker installed

For all intents and purposes, the guy was healthy as a horse with no prior incidents. Apparently what happened was genetic since he had a sister who died years ago from the same incident.

There's no question about it tho, had those experienced firefights not been there, he likely would have died.

[LadyDoc]

Depends on why the heart stopped.

If it is an arrhythmia like ventricular fibrillation, as in sudden cardiac death, and cpr is done right away you can save a life.

If a person is dying of something else it might not work.

And if it isn't started soon enough you might end up with someone brain damaged from lack of oxygen.

A lot of doctors don't want cpr on themself for that reason.

[Bernard]

In a hospital, the people performing the CPR are highly-trained medical professionals who are supposed to be concerned about one thing; keeping the patient alive. Even if CPR doesn’t work most of the time, the alternative is just stand there and watch the patient die. CPR sounds more consistent with what the medical professionals are going to do instinctively.

[whitney69]

It’s fascinating that a person trained in emergency medicine, going to work every day knowing that they are going to lose a percentage of patients because of the nature of the work in trauma medicine, would exhaust the last line of efforts to save a dying patient who comes in broken up because their clothes might be removed. She should have been a farmer.

A real reason using CPR fails is not because of the act but because it never had a chance in a large percentage of patients that it would not help. But the other piece of that patient group percentage is it could, or did.

And if she thinks CPR is worthless, then in looking at the percentage of covid patients with pre-existing conditions like age, lung, heart, or a number of others that are effected by covid, should we vaccinate them as it is a waste of time?

If you have a chance to save a life, do it.
You may fail, but you will regret it if you didn't even try.
Don't second guess yourself or listen to people who read this article.
Just don't crush your patient, take size into account, yours and theirs.

In other words:

We didn’t start the cull only to have “cull-ees” be retrieved from the jaws of death. Everybod be good sports now and repeat after me: DNAR...DNAR...DNAR!!!

Obviously this woman is educated beyond her intelligence. Probably a “scientifically assured” atheist.
