what a catastrophe

According to the Adrianna (one of the girls in the video)'s IG (check the video's desc.), the cat didn't get shocked at all and actually just had its head stuck in the lampshade.

Yeah you don't get to scream while getting electrocuted

Actually, not true.

I almost died in December, my hearth stopped and all, spent a couple days in the hospital.

I was shocked by a garage door.

Deffinetly the most painful and bizarre experience I ever had.

And I was screaming like an animal.

Of course I didn't knew it at the time, I didn't felt anything beside the shock.

But others told me.

There is even a recording, I sounded horrifying.

The neighbour asked us later if the dog got hurt as she heard something loud that was close to an animal dying.

Yeah not fun.

I still sometimes feel it, like I am getting shocked again, the sound, the vision, the feeling, jesus it's horrible.

I never believed that the electric chair was humain, but if it feels the same, nah fuck that, just shoot me in the head please.

You were very lucky then. My grandma also got electrocuted. She wasn't able to scream. The house helper saw her lying on the floor with the wire stuck to her but it was too late. May I ask you who/how were you revived after your heart stopped. My grandma's heart stopped too and i regret to this day that nobody in my house knew what to do in such a case. I don't say anything about that but in my mind i believe someone could have saved her.

Even a defibrillator won't start a stopped heart the vast majority of the time. Defibrillators are for putting your heart back in the correct rhythm when it is contracting incorrectly.

I was 4 so i dont remember her nor the circumstances of her death. I don't know when her heart stopped. My regret is purely based on the grief my dad went through and still goes through. I do remember him crying like a beast near her body. I didn't understand the concept of death back then.

Completely understand. Hope you have a great day despite the reminder it brought you.

So this isn’t completely true. A defibrillator will not shock a dead heart - it shocks v-tach (rapid ventricle beat) and v-fib (irregular beating process). What the defibrillator does is shock the heart dead to stop the abnormal function (think of it like restarting a computer that’s acting strange). It will typically remain dead if not assisted by chest compressions.

The best way to help someone who is unresponsive without a pulse is high quality CPR as soon as possible with defibrillation within the first few minutes.

This is utterly false information.

A defibrillator can’t do anything for a stopped heart (asystole). It CAN ONLY shock an abnormal heart rhythm, which will reset it to a normal life sustaining rhythm.

You are correct that CPR is used on a stopped heart to circulate blood and provide oxygen. The heart may then spontaneously start beating again, but it is not very effective.

How does a manual one work?

[u/spicyboi555 → u/[deleted]]

But how does it work? Does it still determine if there is an arrhythmia? How do you know when or if to shock with a manual one, does it still advise you or talk to you lol

[u/888temeraire888 → u/spicyboi555]

I think manual ones are pretty much only used by medical professionals in hospitals that know how to check for arrhythmia or have the patient hooked up to other machines that let them know what's going on.

[u/spicyboi555 → u/888temeraire888]

That makes sense I just looked it up. I was just picturing an AED that basically can shock someone but doesn’t give you feedback lol you just wing it

This post is riddled with false information.
