- Heart attacks, otherwise known as myocardial infarctions, are a leading cause of death globally. Learn to recognise this medical emergency, treat it and potentially save a life.
I had a heart attack in July 2022. Blessedly, I had just completed BLS training and was with my church safety team. I recognized the symptoms. Crushing pain radiating to the back, nausea, and cold sweats. I got to the hospital, and stopped the heart attack in time to stop any permanent damage.
Turns out a had 99% blockage in my right coronary artery.
I’ve since changed my diet and lost 75 pounds. 🙏
Why did you time traveled to the past?

2022. My mistake.
congrats for both surviving and improving your life afterwards!

Thanks. I've continued the journey and I'm down 130 pounds. I just completed about 50 miles of hiking last week and feeling great.
how old are you?
Been watching your videos since before I went to nursing school. Just got my first job as a flight nurse and I start in 2 weeks, so excited. Thanks for putting out great content.
Congrats!
Question kinda for everyone: How do you treat pen trauma to heart. Like say you get shot in the heart and lung or you get stabbed in the heart and the knife is not lodged in the body? Do you wound pack or chest seal?
That's a question for a Doctor near you....
Generally speaking..... Vital organs...or maybe any organ... Isn't something to immediately stuff gauze... Umm limbs are good for that up to a point.
Prior knowledge of the depth of a wound is strange...
LUCKY THATS MY DREAM JOB. I just graduated as an LVN and I’m looking to work while going to school for my BSN.
Wow congratulations, thats awesome!
I had severe chest pain once. Went to the fire department to get checked out and my EKG was normal. Ended up being severe heartburn. Just wanted to share that for what it’s worth.
When it comes to your health, it's better to be more proactive than less. If you experience something and it ends up being nothing, it's a bit of wasted time and a tinge of embarrassment. If you experience something and it is something severe, you've increased your survival odds by addressing it immediately.
@@ashurean... it's never an embarrassment, or a waste of time when it comes to chest pain, or shortness of breath... could it end up being nothing? Absolutely! But, when either one is involved, one should never have a wait and see attitude
Lol
One of the EMT's in my medic class just saved a guy's life while off duty and was honored by Mesa Fire Department. Pretty cool! And I was at the hospital doing clinical that received him, post ROSC, totally alert and oriented. He was discharged two days later after stent placement for a full LAD and partial RCA blockage!
i lost my father 2 years ago due to a heart attack and this video could help me a lot to take care of my mother
Awesome! More of this! There is plenty of injuries and sicknesses to cover!
My heart attack didn't show up at all on ekg, echo, or MRI. I had to insist that the parametrics take me in. It took 6 hrs of me arguing with the ER doc before they believed I was having a heart attack. I made them do a 3rd troponin test.
I had to have a 5-way bypass. They said I would have died had I left the ER, even though they took 6 hrs trying to convince me that I was fine.
I have had 2 heart attacks in the past 5 years. Second one was the scariest.
Hope you're ok now
Awesome information. I think I will need to watch this a few more times
You did not mention troponin test, which is heart muscle distress marker. In my case, chest discomfort was gone by the time I arrived to ER, my cardiogram was normal, but they sent me to another hospital to test for troponin; and it just started rising.
I would never go to ER in the first place if it wasn't for my wife; she saved me a lot of trouble, and perhaps my very life. And the ER physician on duty who insisted I go to the other place, I really was going to tough it out.
You went to an ER and they could not test a troponin level🤣. That's basic 101 ER. Was it the 2nd troponin that was elevated after the first drawn in the first ER?
@@mph5896 Well, the first was actually an urgent care, not ER. They did not have the ability to check for troponin, I know that for a fact; they nearest facility is 10 miles away, that in a suburb of a major city.
this was a good video, it gave some insight into things a normal person can do to increase survivability of a person until trained professionals can respond. im a former emt and little things help, might not always work but the effort was there. im liking your videos
Nice complete disclaimer at open, mustacheman.
All kidding aside, thanks for another great video. 👍🏻
Thank you Sam for this information. Could you also create a video about maybe medication / tools for home use, or something like must have for family?
Thank you!
He has a ton of videos on that if you got back a few years.[
Do you have a what to do for an mva and/or mv turn over? Need a refresher course. Thanks!
I think something alot of people would love to know, or at least I think they should know. What is your recommendations for procedures on vehicle accidents. You pull up on one moments after it happens, or are there as it happens. How do you respond to assist the situation until Fire,EMS, and Police can get there. So you're not just a body there taking up space, and possibly causing more hazards for others not involved or coming up on the situation.
Rule #1. Don't get smoked yourself trying to play rescue Robert.
Great video as always but you didn't seem to differentiate between cardiac arrest and heart attack. What is/are the differences??
Heart attack is lack of blood flow to part of the heart due to a blockage in a blood vessel. If it is severe enough and the blockage isn't cleared in time, it leads to damage to heart muscle which can lead to the heart being unable to pump adequately (heart failure) or even death. It also causes the nerves in the heart to malfunction and this can sometimes lead to a dangerous heart rhythm problem, like ventricular fibrillation. Cardiac arrest is where the heart stops beating or at least stops beating effectively (it may be still twitching but not actually pumping). It can be caused by damage to the heart muscle (such as in a heart attack), a dangerous heart rhythm problem which could itself be caused by a heart attack or by drugs or several other possible problems, or mechanical problems (for example, blood pooling inside the chest or inside the tissue around the heart can put pressure on the heart and prevent it from beating effectively).
Oh nice, glad to be early.
Thanks for the vid.
Hi, can you describe what type of chest pain? Lightning bolts, elephant crushing, or never-ending heart burn? Avg. time this pain symptom before: < 5 min, > 5 min, 15 min+ ? Thanks in advance
One of my family members had a heart. he had stabbing pain in the middle of his chest and it felt like someone was sitting on his left arm but the chest pain can be different. If a person is having pain then the attack is already happening.
Do you have a recommendation for a more ruggedized glucometer? Ours are always breaking and/or have dead batteries. Does someone make a weatherized/waterresist device?
Dunno about the US, but here in Oz many people use those placeable probe things that Bluetooth to their phone; the probe thing seems to be more rugged than those cheap Chinese Glucometers, and the dressing it is mounted on is extremely sticky
So glad I watched, a lot of great info here as always!
Actually LOL'd when you said essential oils and chiropractors can't fix an MI.
Well played.
High Quality Information. Thanks
Great info and content. But the video and audio seams a bit unsynced.
Friend of mine he passed out while tying to pull start a chipper in his backyard. He woke up on the ground thought he was over heated went inside and laid down didn't see a doctor. 2-3 weeks later he had a heart attack his symptom was he could not get enough air said like no matter how hard he was breathing could not get enough oxygen.
as a emt if the parson has chest pain and the have had a heart attack but that person wants to go by pov and the go to the stmi center can you still call a stmi
alert
Very good video.
Sam just continues to turn into a young Christian Bale. 😂
excellent subscribed
Good job brother
really helpful!!
Hello good Sir, I have a question for you: How do you stand to oxygenation when a patient is having "the big one"? I learned there is no evidence of oxygenation having any benefit and maybe even causing further dmg to the heart tissue because of the free radicals. So I wanted your opinion/experience with that. I am relatively new, just freshly out of med school and would really appreciate an answer to further learn and fill up my tank so to speak.
Cheers and have a good one!
I think for free radicals you would have to pump a lot of O2. Generally O2 is prescribed to the Pt not bc they cant breathe but bc the Pt is breathing less deeply bc it is uncomfortable. Even so, the main issue isn't O2 capture/exchange but the dispersal to the rest of the heart and body, so treatment for the blockage is the only major way o help. I am just a basic, but this is my understanding. Generally I would NC or rebreather. If they are rapid breathing and not taking deep breaths, you may have to bag.
Good info, as always. I've wondered about those commercially available packets of powdered aspirin as an emergency sublingual for heart attacks. Is this feasible?
If someone has a heart attack and you have a defibrillator to hand, should you put it on them whilst waiting for paramedics arrive ?
Research this first, and I am by no means saying I know anything, but from my completely cold (without review of my understanding of the machine/medical situation, that I could be completely remembering wrong from high school. . . ) what I understand is that a defibrillator can measure stimuli of the heart when activated properly - I don't know at what point if/when it can detect a heart attack! Again, please do not take this as any legitimate medical advice, but if worst comes to worst, it can't hurt to have someone already sticky padded up to a defibrillator ( maybe you'll look dumb to medical professionals, maybe that's the wrong thing to do in that instance, but at least you'll have tried to do your best in providing untrained medical care to the person (At worst, hook them up and see what the machine says, it's supposed to say whether or not to shock the patient! Better to try and fail than stand around next to them and say 'ughghghghhhhhhh....", or at the very least have a defibrillator sitting next to them just in case! If you can't detect a heartbeat, slap the pads onto the them and turn on the (hopefully fully charged) machine and it will at least be able to tell you if they have a heartbeat or not.
I feel terrible for not knowing! At the very least, thank you for questioning my knowledge and making me research this for the future! Hopefully neither of us will need it but it's better to have the knowledge and not need it, than need it and not have it! Maybe check out the youtube channel ProCPR! I really need to rewatch all of their videos, so thank you for the reminder!
Surprised there aren't many responses to this
AED pads should be applied in cases of cardiac arrest. It's made to detect two different rhythms which are: ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrallation. AEDs cannot detect whether the patient is pulseless, so should not be placed unless there is no carotid pulse. If someone is in cardiac arrest, they will be apneic, pulseless, and definitely unconcious. Like the video said, a heart attack and cardiac arrest are not the same condition. However a heart attack, much like any other severe bodily impairment such as a pulmonary embolism, can lead to a cardiac arrest. If the patient is unconcious, pulseless, and apneic, the first thing you do is initiate CPR. Have someone else find an AED, while you give compressions at a 30:2 compression to emergency breath rate. Follow the AED prompts after application. Rinse, repeat. At a civilian level, if someone is having a heart attack, first thing you should do is call 911 and gather as much information about this patient so when EMS arrives, the process is quicker in getting the patient to the correct facility and treated effectively. Hope this helps in any fashion.
Was just THINKING about this VIDEO like these.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fixing to have one if I don't stop eating these damn Cadbury Mini Eggs!
Good job
Get some.
One of the most valuable videos i've ever seen on TH-cam. Thank you!!!
This is irrelevant sorry but that old man on the thumbnail looks familiar. Do you know who he is? Or the origin of the photo?😅
Good video I love the heart man it’s such an interesting muscle.
Remember that a ambulance ride isn’t cheap.
Sure beats the cost of a funeral though!
@@TheOReport1994 depends on the funeral
Is 24 to late to go to EMT school?
Absolutely not.
Meery-add* But great video as always.
Heart attacks and stroke seem to be flavour of the year, so many defibrillator machines have been put in about my town and work place I’ve noticed..
Why? Why are young people dying suddenly?
It’s not suddenly. You just haven’t noticed until now.
@@PrepMedic you're kidding right
Nothing to see here, move along
@@PrepMedic so Office of Nation Statistics here in the UK is wrong? No
Hmmmm.... I wonder why. . . *cough cough* *wink wink* maybe it's all those *checks flash cards* uhh. . . . *scratches head, trying to ironically answer anything but the obvious. . . .*
uhhhh. . . hmmmmm. . .
let's see what's changed in the past few years or so that's been forced as mandatory. . .
(Seriously though, yeah. . . . . we all know the reason.)
"Myriad other issues..." (Pronounced: ME-re-ad)
Sam, I know im responsible for 3 of my dad's...
Same 😂
This is very important information with the strokes and heart attacks thanks to the clot shot!
Myriad* not myrid
I read an article a while back that said, if you suspect you’re having a heart attack and you’re alone to cough and beat on your chest, is this a meth or does it help? 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸%
That won’t do anything.
Meth, don't do meth. That will help prevent heart attacks🤣
5:15 Is this going to be any affected by how that particular individual is sexually identifying herselfs/himself/itself/themselves ? Just asking ;)
I know you mean it as a joke but actually, hormone replacement greatly increases the risk of blood clots.
@@PrepMedic Oh, that's interesting - I think I'll stick to my current sex then. No hormone replacements for me.
Jokes aside ... You're doing great work in this channel. Thank you.

Lots more heart attacks since the clot shot…..it’s now beyond denial.
Second!!!
Anyone thinks he’s look has now gone kinda Garand Thumb?
By the time the ambulance workers can get to the ambulance I could drive myself to the hospital. If I need to go to another hospital the ambulance would have to take me to closest hospital to get flight or drive me an hour away.
And once you are in hospital grounds you fall under EMTALA which greatly increases the time it would take to transfer you to an appropriate facility.
First comment 🙌🏽 😂
Nope. There are older than yours depending on the country you view it from. Also, nobody cares.
The video isn’t really syncing with the audio, or is it just me?
I think it’s slightly off… but it’s hard to pin down why.
@@PrepMedic not debilitating or anything
How to save a life from a clot shot induced heart attack…
We all know the first response to someone suffering from a clot shot induced heart attack is to give them another. . . a truly lifesaving miracle!
Yeah, I'll see you in the gulag. A few years ago in a youtube comment I promised to trade 5 grains of rice for a shoe lace to another future cellmate. Maybe that'll come in handy in the future. Wanna be adjacent cellmates?
If you don’t think you video is relevant in medicine anymore maybe take down your videos that science has deemed incorrect procedure
Sometimes it’s good to see what what we used to do and learn from it and why we thought it was correct. Imagine if we could watch instructional TH-cam videos of blood letting and exorcisms when they thought it was the best method.
I must say that was a weasely disclaimer in your introduction. You must live in California. It’s quite sad that in one breath you’re desperately trying to avoid liability and in the other offer life saving advice.
What has society done to you?
It’s called covering your ass. He’s from Wisconsin and as professional health care providers we have a public health responsibility to make sure people consult the proper health authorities in their region of the world because one size does not fit all in medicine and law. Last thing you want is somebody killing someone and then saying “I saw a guy on the internet do it”.
YT sensors any and all medical advice regardless of the credentials of the presenter. Without giving his verbal waiver he could face being "struck".
We have each stood idle and allowed this to happen, the erosion of our 1st right. The more accurate question is "what's happened to us"?, as we allowed this to happen through our complacency.
The more we bend our knees to those who only seek to control us , the more we forfeit ourselves as free people.
But, you knew this, right?
