- One teenager is lucky to be alive after suffering cardiac arrest during a high school volleyball game at Loganville Christian Academy in Georgia. Claire Crawford, 17, told INSIDE EDITION: "I remember blacking out and waking up." Fortunately for the teen there was an Automated External Defibrillator nearby. Claire's body got a jolt from the defibrillator which was used by a school administrator and eventually helped her come back to consciousness. Her mom said that she thought they had lost her. #InsideEdition
This story is so important. Every single school needs to have a defibrillator and honestly multiple defibrillators at that with one always in the gym. I lost a classmate because of a similar situation. He was a basketball player and went into cardiac arrest during a game. There was no defibrillator anywhere. People just watched and took videos and pictures. He lost his life that day. It's just so important to have defibrillators at any high school sports games.
Holly Alexis my school just has one in the nurses office. Though I’ve never been in the gym we use for games often so there could be one there but I doubt it
In Washington, there is a defibrillator law. My school has two or three on each floor, in the gym, and in the nurses's office.
Yea
Sad.
That's not cool, they should've been calling for help.😤
I wish they had included an as to why a apparently healthy 17 year old suffered a massive heart attack and flatlined?? That's super scary.
adderall
Several obstructed coronary arteries, for which she underwent triple bypass surgery to correct it.
@@socksandpi1264 was that reported somewhere regarding her story? And how could they become so blocked? She seems pretty healthy but I know other stuff can affect different things 😔
@@barkseagull1453 Um... I guess that could be a reason but I doubt it?
@@barkseagull1453 adderall isn't gonna cause something like this unless she was misusing it. The headline of this story would be completely different if that were true.
Credit to Julie, the school administrator that saved her life. We need more heroes like her.
fr tho
and im happy to have the same name as her :)
She left the school a few years ago. We really miss her.
agreed
Show her but not brony
Every single place needs Defibs and every single person needs to learn First Aid.
First Aid should be free and mandatory to everyone. Defibrillators should be available no matter what the cost.
So many people could be saved if they were.
Even if I knew CPR I wouldn't do it
+Zach Songer if anyone learnt it hopefully u would never used it
Zach Songer Not judging, but can I ask why not?
+Hadley Anderson because it's a very scary experience because your trying to save someone which is dead
Utyl That's right, you're trying to save their life. Without any action, the person is definitely going to die so CPR is always worth a shot.
she is so pretty
+Riffs An stuff Or maybe you're a very short giant
Sidney Nguyen Le ikr I was just about to say that
Girl, you in shape.
Sidney Nguyen Le I agree
CMBP23 Gaming disgusting pervert
That school administrator is nothing short of a Hero. And, you can tell that she is very invested in the well-being of her students.
CPR quickies: if you're alone don't worry about giving breaths at all, just do chest compressions. Don't stop compressions to give breaths, don't stop compressions for others to give breaths.
Press pretty hard, but not with all your might.
Try to give close to 2 compressions per second but a little less, however a lot more than 1 compression per second.
Optimal goal is 100 per minute. Coincidentally the song "staying alive" is used in training (you know, "Ah ah ah ah staying alive staying alive!")
Always call 911 for help before you start compressions if there's nobody around to call 911 for you or do compressions for you.
Guy: There it is. ITS IN THE BLACK BOX
me: I don't know why I find that so funny. But I do
Yeah same 😂
Omg I was about to comment that! 😂
Black box stores important stuff. The pilot said so
HAHAHA HE SAID IT AS I WAS READING THIS COMMENT
I don’t know either
So what caused this? Family history? Poor health screen numbers? Badly out of shape? And what is she doing to ensure this doesn't likely occur again? I wish the interview would have gone into more detail because the heart is no joke and younger people need to begin paying attention to it earlier in their lives.
+Mark Smith Unusual for her age of 17 she had 3 obstructed coronary arteries so there probably was some genetic component. She is feeling better than ever now after her surgery.
It can happen to anybody of young age. My friend had a heart attack last weekend at a football game, she's healthy and everything was okay but it just happened. Life is kinda scary knowing anybody of any age could have a heart attack. I never knew someone at the age of 15 could until last weekend.
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. It has a huge genetic component, affects the heart muscle, thickens the walls, and also causes thickening of the coronary arteries. Usually results in a shockable rhythm like V-fib, and commonly presents in young athletes.
Usually heart attacks do not occur in younger people however it is commonly for elderly etc at this point all we can assume is that is past history or malformation of the heart disease that was inherited to her
Mark Smith my mom has an irregular heart beat and this could have had happened to her if she played sports so it might be she has an irregular heart beat
schools should have mandatory cpr and first aid.
***** not all of them. Not mine. I had to beg and eventually threaten to open a lawsuit against my school to get them to do it. And then it was only that one year.
I learned CPR in Grade 9 gym class, but we weren't taught how to use a defib.
Why not everyone wants to and cares to if u try cpr and don’t work and they die that’s traumatizing
@@madison3012 not as bad as you realizing later on you could of done something.
@@something6886 idc bout anyone it wouldn’t bother me lol
she is sooooooo beuuuutiful and her mom too!!!
her mom looks like she could be her older sister
@@koolsmoothfan facts
Yes.. she is stunning in the Fall pic with (I guess) her siblings.
2:07 the smile of her mother is priceless
So she died and came back to life
that happend to my dad he died for 6 minutes
+michelle becerra I'm so sorry for your loss.
I teach CPR and use of the AED, IT REALLY WORKS! I LOST MY DAD TO A HEART ATTACK, AND MOM TO STROKE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE IS?? Collestrol Numbers? ? Prevention saves lives!
+Susan Majewski aww I'm so sorry for your losses
Yes
To everybody that rallied around her and worked as a team to get her heart beating again awesome teamwork. I'm happy to see she's doing well!!
I guess you could say...her beauty is heart stopping
Eyyy
She's drop dead gorgeous
eh
@@Soundtracks92 😂😂😂😂😂 funnier than the top comment
@@Soundtracks92 NOOOOOO 😂😂
She's very young and beautiful. I hope she continue playing and recover her heart.
Scary how you can just collapse like that at any time. All you can do is hope that if it ever happens, you're outside near other people and not alone in your room.
0:31 there's a difference between heart attack and cardiac arrest. Either fix the title or what you're saying
Equine X Which is worse?
Equine X ikr it made me kind of mad because heart attack is where blood cannot be pumped to the heart and cardiac arrest is where the heart stops
Anonyte Heart attack= blood can't get to the heart
Cardiac Arrest=heart stops
Equine X she had a heart attack and THEN she went into cardiac arrest
Equine X hey fellow equestriaaaaan
The sound of her body hitting the floor was TERRIFYING😵 Thank GOD she is still here!
Maybe God should have stopped this in the first place? ... You can thank the bystanders/administrator. THEY'RE the reason why she's still here.
@@chrism6904 She didn't mean that literally. You just hate religious people
@@chrism6904 It’s an expression bro, chill out
this is very rare theres a 1 in a million chance this will happen to someone that age
I thought it caused due to exhaustion.
Where did you get that number from?
It’s actually not that uncommon in otherwise healthy, young, fit people. It’s sometimes caused by cardiomyopathy.
@GNB WHAT??!!! Thanks a lot! Now I'm really scared! I have Health anxiety where you worry about your health and get so many scary symtomes. And my heart beats fast all the time when I exsersie!!!! So it's normal for me. I've been to three doctors. I'm 13 and scared! Even a cardiologest says it's rare! It is actually rare!! But I need reassurane, because I'm scared!
@@nishkasehgal No one gets a heart attack for no reason.
This literally brings me to tears every time I see it, as I have a daughter this age who also plays volleyball.
Every school needs a defibrillator by law, period.
In California it's the law. We have about 6 through out the campus....
I will always cry when I see this. I’m so happy you’re okay Claire.
-from a stranger (:
No one:
Not a single soul:
School Nurse: Here’s an ice pack
Lmao ihy
Quiet.kid: *brings black bag*
Everyone: 0_0
*Girl has heart attack*
Quiet kid: *iTs tImE tO sHow eVeRyoNe IM nOt a MoNsTeR*
Cardiac Arrest far more dangerous
uh okay..
fine i'll be the first to laugh bcs this is funny
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Never realized how heavy a human could be until she fell...
omg I'm crying watching this. it could be my daughter. my daughter is 14 plays volleyball and has had heart problems.
Such a beautiful young woman so glad she’s alive and able to continue her precious life❤️
This was 6 years ago. Man She's so blessed. That's why everyday give thanks no matter how hard life hits. It's a miracle, and the holy spirit guides the people surrounding her.
Couple years ago a student at my high school died of a heart attack because the teachers didn’t know how to use the defibrillator 🤦♂️
Um unsure if the had defibrillator as a lifeguard we trained with them and if you can use cell phone you can us defibrillator a large on button and loud instructions anyone with basic English can be instructed to use
I don’t know dude but I know they didn’t use it because they wanted to wait until the ambulance was there but when the ambulance arrived it was too late, also the coroner criticized the school in the local news for not doing enough to save him
@@mwmwm3388 To be real do you expect teachers to know how to use a defibrillator?
Yes, Gym teachers should
@@asari9731 yes they should definitley be prepared for that
0:40 What's in da boxxxxxx???!!
DEEZ NUTS!!
I think it's the thing that doctors use to shock patients to come back to life
***** You mean defibrillators?
a dick
+Anthony Beaumont yeah , I think
Omg this is scaring me so much. I just joined volleyball and my first game is this Saturday and now I’m so scared. I hope to god I would never ever get a heart attack during a game!! Prayers to you girl! 😩😩🙏🙏
how was the game, asking 2 years later lol
@@Vevoz7198 She gave no reply......uh oh.....
@@gregfalco4528 that cant be good
We're waiting
girl did you have a heart attack
That lady deserves an award. She saved that girls life. ♡
This happened to me after I drank to many energy drinks, I don’t look at life the same as I’m grateful I’m here today thanks to the doctor who saved me.
Kudos to the coaching staff for reacting quickly and knowing what needed to be done to keep her alive. If they panicked and didn't have a difiberator handy, she most likely would've died.
I know her i go to lca and this is a story we will never forgot
Looks like this upload is old but I just came across it & can't even imagine how scary that must have been for her & her parents. What's really scary is she's only 17, or was only 17 when that happened. How in the world does a young kid like that have a heart attack? Goes to show that crazy & scary things can happen to anyone at any time unfortunately. Thank God for the fast action of the people around her & the person with that machine to save her life. She has to keep an eye out for her health from now on. Never take anything nor any day for granted.
She often complains of pain in her heart but the doctor doesn't check her heart and what happens she has a cardiac arrest
HOLY COW THAT AWESOME TEACHER SAVED THE DAY!!! AND THE GIRL IS OK. COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER BEGINNING!!!
Student nurse: everyone stand back! I have an ice pack!
Gorgeous girl, so glad she was able to survive!
I felt ready to cry for her, even when they said she was okay.
shes no longer with us
That is terrifying, to just die so quickly without warning- i am so glad she is still here today
Omfg! That's so scary! I'm glad she made it out alive! Bless you all!
This reminds of when my mom died because she had a heart attack on the floor but there was a big thud when she fell
She’s gorgeous!
This was so scary!!
It so hard to hold back the tears when watching this. I'm so happy she made it.
Why am i recommended this 5 years later.
This is such an overused comment
"Breaks Her Silence"
On her personal medical emergency? Was she expected to do so?
She’s so beautiful and brave 🙏😭💗
This is so sad I can’t believe she is okay
Cardiac arrest on a 17-yr-old!? That is so terrifying but thank God she's ok.
maybe she tired, moreover she often complains of pain in her heart, but the doctor doesn't check her heart
Thank God she survived
Yes but I think she need surgery for her heart
@@cpr4041 I see
She's lucky to have survived she definitely had angel looking after her on that day
no the administrator was looking after her
and the man using the defibrillator
Oh my gosh! I cried 😢 watching this! I'm so happy God has Claire here with us on earth 🌎 she wasn't meant to leave us! 🥰
God doesn't exist; credit the defibrillator.
@@arandomguy46 okay okay I'm going to credit the defibrillator because YOU said so! You're absurd for making your bold comment on my response to a video - so your opinions truly don't mean anything to me! 🙂 and it won't change my positive and optimistic attitude!
She's so beautiful
Wow this beautiful girl is so lucky
im happy you're here claire.
When I was freshman in highschool one of my fellow class mates suffered a heart attack as well. It was “minor” and he was okay, but it was completely out of the blue. We were all taking laps in gym class. Pretty simple thing the teacher wants us to do to warm up for the hour and during that time he just collapse.
When I finally spoke with him about he said, “My stomach almost felt weightless while all my weight was on my chest and I just dropped.” I don’t think he ever had an accident after that. Still kinda freaky tho.
She is so beautiful
Renewed my CPR certification this past weekend and this video and others were shown to help us understand that cardiac arrest can happen at any time, to anyone, regardless of age. Having an AED available - as well as caring staff who were trained and thought clearly - is obviously a life saver. How quickly they rushed in to start CPR and get the device is awesome. (PS if you look at other longer videos posted about Claire, she discusses having had symptoms for about 2 years before her collapse, and medical professionals either misdiagnosed or did not consider the heart as a possible problem, likely because of her young age).
This made me cry. I am so grateful she is alive.
Julie is a real life hero. As a 9-1-1 operator you'd be surprised how many people don't know what/where/how to use a defibrillator.
I know this is old but I looked over several videos about this, including a fairly long one featuring Claire, her family, and other people involved. As a medical doctor, I believe this event could have been prevented.
Claire had been suffering from chest pain for quite a long time, and it was characterized by radiation to the left arm. Just before this happened, she had noted that it was getting worse. She had been seen by several doctors before who focused on therapy and were suspecting things like nerve impingement. What they did NOT consider was the pain was of CARDIAC origin, most likely because she was only 17. However, pain radiating to the left arm is characteristic of cardiac ischemia (lack of blood flow to the heart), it's something basic from med school. It was only after the cardiac arrest that a cardiac evaluation was done, showing obstruction of 3 coronary arteries that eventually lead to her undergoing bypass surgery. As to why someone so young had pediatric atherosclerosis (blockage of the arteries), it could be for many reasons like severe hyperlipidemia (elevation of cholesterol levels), though I wasn't able to find any news articles or videos about it.
Moral of the story is that simply because a medical condition is typically found in older adults, you forget to consider it for a young person. It can have fatal consequences, although fortunately, Claire survived.
Claire would be 23 now. I hope she's doing well today.
She’s doing perfectly fine! I heard she’s married and probably has kids now! :)
Im glad she is safe and sound now ❤️
I guess you could say she is drop dead gorgeous!
God Bless her.😇 And what an Amazing Job of reacting and then Acting to save this young girl's life.!! Just an all around Happy Ending to a situation that could very well have been Tragic..!! 😇😇
she’s so beautiful!!! thank god she’s okay
I got shivers when she collapsed and all the teachers ran over 😬
Glad i took a class last semester on cpr and know what to do, im down to save a life... Now we wait.
Damn she had a heart attack and then broke her silence as well? She must be the unluckiest teen in the world.
Every school needs one of those machines
This is a very similar story that happened at my school its really scary man Glad Claire is ok :)
+Erin O Me too.
Crazy
She's so pretty!!
Her smile is special. I'm glad she can still share it with the world
She’s beautiful thank god for Who help her she will help you no matter what happened in the end
My school nurse when I pass out: here’s an ice pack!
Edit: o.m.g thanks for the likes I’ve never gotten so many likes :D
@Amy Avendaño idk tbh
like beggar...
shes so beautiful:o
I am so happy she is doing better now.
How can a young teenage girl get a heart attack
Why is this titled "Breaks Her Silence" as if its someone's fault and she's been keeping it a secret. It's nobody's fault this happened
she look like her mom both beautiful
Idk why i just watched like 10 heart attack videos back to back and I'm surprised how it brings tears to my eyes seeing the fellow human in this dying state
Exactly how I felt watching this. I couldn't hold back the tears.
Beautiful girl.. thank god she is alive...
This isn't a heart attack, a heart attack is when the heart has circulation problems and a cardiac arrest is when the heart has "electrical problems."
Banana Man Word you're looking for is "conduction". Hooray biology.
Banana Man lmao we have the same name.
She had a heart attack THEN went into cardiac arrest
She actually did have a heart attack since apparently 3 of her valves were blocked and needed bypass surgery
I went to school with her I remember when this happened
She’s so beautiful! Thank god she’s okay
I don’t understand how someone that young can have a heart attack
Get your shots 😅
Wow a heart attack in someone so young. Life is short people. Live it to the fullest.
You're right, man. Life truly is short. But, in the matter of 50-100 years from now, we wouldn't have to worry about having insignificantly short lives.
Probably a case of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
Young, Sudden Cardiac Arrest after a Match with palpitation and chest pain radiating to arm = Number 1 Cause
That sound when she collapsed..
stunningly beautiful girl with her whole life ahead of her, delighted she was saved
Who tf carries around a defibrillator?!
Public facilities idiot, for this exact reason.
its a school gym lol... haven't u been in one?
She's beautiful.. Damn
Just saw the video first time. So glad to see this girl is ok . This girl is beautiful and has a great smile. God Bless you !
I’m so glad she is better now. I’m glad she is better now. I’m happy she had a recovery
There was definitely some medical negligence involved in the development of this situation. Claire had been having symptoms for months. They were a group of symptoms that can present in a person who is experiencing myocardial ischemia (inadequate supply of oxygenated blood to the heart muscles). She even told her doctor that she thought there might be a problem with her heart. But her doctor refused to order any tests for heart condition/heart function. Instead, he referred her for physical therapy.
Doctors often dismissed young healthy looking people. It took years of sudden fainting before my heart condition was diagnosed.
She didn't have a heart attack - it was cardiac arrest. What this story leaves out is what caused it in the first place.
@safari mang evidence?
the only way that you will be brought back under Cardiac Arrest is by defibrillation, th eshocking of the heart to start electrical impulses going again .
@safari mang an EKG would have picked that up
good god she is so young, be well dear
Heartbreaking. Poor girl. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It's kind of sad that she was having those symptoms cus she was out of shape, how society has taught us if you're not in the correct "shape" your unhealthy and it just balmed on your diet, exercise, and your current health.
the video says nothing about her being "out of shape", and you'd be REALLY hard pressed to get yourself so out of shape that you have a heart attack at 17. more likely than not, it was caused by something else.
@@drdefecation sorry, I meant to say that she *thought* she was out of shape that she thought she was having these symptoms
