00:00 The quick and active player
00:03 lost consciousness in the basketball court
00:08 and was rushed to the hospital.
00:10 This is his last game.
00:13 The common cause is that they lose blood vessels in their brain.
00:19 This is because of the ineffective pumping of our heart.
00:23 And the common cause is that there is an abnormal heartbeat.
00:26 We call this a fatal arrhythmia or a heartbeat that kills.
00:30 When he was rushed to the hospital,
00:32 it was confirmed that he had suffered from sudden cardiac arrest.
00:36 Sudden cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death
00:39 is the sudden stop of the heartbeat.
00:42 This happens when we have risk factors
00:46 and this depends on the age.
00:48 So if the heart of the player does not beat,
00:51 the blood does not flow to our body
00:53 and that can be the cause of the loss of consciousness.
00:58 According to experts,
01:00 the symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest are different from heart attack.
01:05 In cardiac arrest, the patient is unconscious and unresponsive
01:09 and he is not breathing.
01:11 While those who suffer from heart attack
01:14 have difficulty breathing and are dizzy.
01:20 Cardiac arrest is different from heart attack.
01:23 Cardiac arrest, as I said earlier, is the stop of the heartbeat.
01:28 Heart attack is the occurrence of a wound in the heart.
01:32 Although cardiac arrest can come from a heart attack,
01:36 not all heart attacks are caused by cardiac arrest
01:39 and not all cardiac arrests come from heart attacks.
01:42 They are different conditions.
01:44 A 23-year-old man was diagnosed with cardiac arrest.
01:47 Younger people, 35 years old,
01:50 are more likely to have cardiac arrest
01:53 from what we call cardiomyopathies or abnormalities in the heart muscle.
01:58 Cardiomyopathies are usually affected by the main pump of the heart,
02:03 the left side of the heart.
02:05 This is the main pump of our heart
02:07 and when there is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,
02:10 this part thickens.
02:12 The thickening of the heart muscle is fatal.
02:16 In cardiomyopathy, there can be a thickening of the blood vessels,
02:20 but one of them is because the muscle is abnormal,
02:23 it becomes electrically unstable.
02:26 It means that there can be electrical instability
02:29 that can lead to fatal arrhythmias or heart failure.
02:33 Some of the possible symptoms of cardiac arrest are fatigue,
02:38 frequent tightness of the heart and palpitations.
02:42 There are also people who have no signs or symptoms,
02:46 so it is important that if we have a family history,
02:49 we should not ignore it.
02:51 If we have a relative who has had a cardiac arrest,
02:54 it is important that we also look at
02:56 if we are at risk and can have a cardiac arrest.
02:59 But in the time of the attack,
03:02 CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation can be done.
03:07 CPR is an emergency life-saving procedure
03:11 that is administered to a patient whose heart stops beating.
03:15 That is the manual pumping of the heart
03:19 because the heart of that person stopped beating.
03:22 So we need to do compression
03:25 so that the blood and oxygen
03:29 can go to the vital organs.
03:31 It is very critical that our brain needs oxygen.
03:36 According to the expert,
03:38 the first three minutes are the most important
03:41 to save anyone who has experienced
03:43 sudden heart stopping.
03:46 Basic CPR alone can help a lot
03:50 to help others who have a cardiac arrest.
03:53 It is important that we see the person who fell,
03:57 evaluate and see if he is breathing and has a heart attack.
04:01 According to Darrell Atanasio,
04:03 an emergency medical service instructor of the Philippine Red Cross,
04:07 it is important to know the proper way of the first aid like CPR.
04:13 It is in the air, you don't know if he is awake or not.
04:16 So you need to be able to see if he is responding or not.
04:19 You need to check his consciousness.
04:22 How do we check the consciousness?
04:24 We just need to tap the victim's shoulder twice.
04:28 "Hey, hey, are you okay? Hey, hey, are you okay?"
04:31 The victim does not wake up.
04:35 At this point, you can order someone to call the Philippine Red Cross hotline 143
04:42 or the national hotline 911 to report the incident.
04:47 Remember the ABCs,
04:50 A for Airway, B for Breathing, and C for Circulation.
04:55 The first letter is A, Airway.
04:58 The airway is used to check the head tilt and chin lift maneuver.
05:05 Just look at the patient, open your mouth,
05:09 and check if there is a bump.
05:11 If you see a bump, you can finger sweep out the bump you see.
05:17 Then let's check the breathing.
05:19 In the breathing, what are we going to look at? The chest.
05:22 And the letter C, Circulation.
05:26 While he is in head tilt and chin lift, just maintain it.
05:30 Look at the chest, look for the rise and fall of the chest.
05:35 Listen to the breathing, feel for the pulse in the neck.
05:39 No pulse, no breathing.
05:41 Immediately perform hands-only CPR.
05:45 Heel of the hand, center of the chest.
05:49 Interlock, arms straight, elbows locked.
05:53 Lean forward so that your elbow does not bend.
06:00 Straight, then compress until the ambulance arrives.
06:04 Look at the patient.
06:06 When the ambulance arrives,
06:09 the responders will assess if the AED or Automated External Defibrillator is needed.
06:16 If you see signs of life or return of spontaneous circulation,
06:22 stop CPR, then check for the ABC or Airway Breathing Circulation.
06:28 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1008, 1009, 1010.
06:36 With pulse and with breathing, you need to perform the recovery position.
06:44 Lift your left arm, put your right arm on the chair,
06:49 lower extremity, then move to the left,
06:52 then leg roll to the side that is near you.
06:55 Check the back, then interview the patient and the family.
07:02 Then, endorse to the ambulance.
07:09 The pandemic does not choose time and place.
07:14 It is important to learn the right first aid to help in case of danger.
