Arrest

As the police arrived they detain a group of black African Americans and the 15 year old girl who supposedly resisting arrest gets pin down by a cop who then arrest the girl. The cop does it in a very aggressive way which he should have not done, the girl was harmless and there was no reason for the cop to be so harsh during the arrest. The good thing that the cop was dismissed from being an officer: “The officer, Corporal David Eric Casebolt, has been placed on leave.” That’s…

couldn’t we have let the patient die in peace?” (Hoffman, 2006, p.1) By using pathos and imagery to evoke sadness from the reader, the author makes one feel as if it is their family member having CPR. In extreme cases like a patient going into cardiac arrest, it is challenging to determine who should have the final say whether one should do CPR on the dying patient. According to the law, the family has control to decide, however, the article uses medical opinions to sway the reader’s opinion.…

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is an emergency procedure taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing for someone who is in cardiac arrest (“Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation”). Cardiac arrest is the sudden loss of blood flow from the heart’s spontaneous shut down (“Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation”). Some people think of the fake dummies used in CPR classes or learning about it at swim lessons. Some people think of Bee Gee’s song “Stayin’ Alive”, but there’s a lot more to…

Code Blue-Where To? This is a review of the case study Code Blue-Where To?, The patient in this case is an 80 year old patient admitted to a psychiatric facility, who ultimately dies. His death is not the fault of the medical staff, but the care he received prior to his death was plagued with system errors and communication breakdowns that could be argued as causing undue patient harm. The errors include problems with staff training, policy and procedures, outdated equipment, and failure to…

Lawrence, the president of Downing Digital Healthcare Partners said, “Customers just aren’t aware of the prevalence of sudden cardiac arrest.” Each year in the United States over 424,000 victims are being affected all ages, in Hawaii, Native Hawaiians are 1.7 times (over 70%) more likely to die from heart disease than other race. To prevent this from happening to all citizens, CFL (Certification for Life) wants to increase funding for more access to an AED. Our goal as the CFL is to train…

“Near-death experience in survivors of cardiac arrest: a prospective study in the Netherlands” was published in the Lancet, a well-known medical journal, to share the effects of near-death experiences and the possible influences that act upon it. Psychologists observed patients throughout eight years in an effort to see their outcomes on life. The experimenters also wanted to know if other influences such as medications, time between CPR, seriousness of crisis, and psychological factors caused…

eyes, was sent to hospital, and was released a few days later. Another story includes Ralph Harms, 78, and his son Joe, and his friend Doug Green. After a great shot, he exclaimed “Yeah baby!” and collapsed right there on the course from cardiac arrest. Luckily four years ago, Joe was shown by Ralph how to do chest compressions. While Doug called 911, Joe continued, while performing CPR, Ralph’s heart started and stopped 3 times. He would not have survived and spent 3 days in a drug-induced…
