In India we are seeing lots of kids, people in their early 40's experiencing heart attack and dieing. Your videos are educative. The guidance you provide, in simple language is easy to understand and practice. Thank you madam. But very disheartening to see the number of views even after 10 months post the uploading of the video is only 30k.

I went to the American Heart Association's videos on KZfaq to learn CPR, but all I got was endless advertisements and nothing but advertisements! So I came here to Victor Chang's videos to learn how to do proper CPR and how to use an AED! It's shameful how everything that is associated with America has been commercialized and it's all about making money!

Thank you so much for these videos. These videos keep me informed all the time, I am working in the customer service for about 12 years, but plenty of people I am working with are over 50 years old.

Thank you for watching our video. Unfortunately heart attacks and cardiac arrests can affect anyone, at any stage of life - willingness to perform CPR saves lives, so thank you again.

Our Singapore Heart Foundation recommends to shave the patients chest if there are hairs as it prevents cardiac detection process. Do you agree since time is precious and perhaps it would be better render the electric shock first and then do the shaving if necessary when cardiac analysis detection is not sound.

What to do if the pads don't stick on a hairy chest?

@VictorChangInstitute Ай бұрын

Hello, Thank you for your question. There is normally a small razor in AED kits to use to help the adhesion of the pads to hairy chests. Best wishes, the VCCRI Communication team

Dear Mam, how long will I have to do this?

Hello, Thank you for watching our video and for your question. Julia from Response for Life recommends to stop CPR once the person becomes responsive or normal breathing returns; once the paramedics arrive and advise they will take over; or if you are becoming tired and can instruct a bystander to provide support. We hope this helps. Best wishes, the VCCRI Communication Team

Why don't you show it with two people one doing compressions and the other applying the AED. This way it is more realistic I have been doing two people, one doing CPR and the other attaching AED for 10 years.
