Thats how my husband saved our younger son. Unbeknownst to us and in passing a table he had grabbed a hard candy and started choking. He's 32 now and still doesn't like hard candies.
Yeah just a while ago i was with a relative of mine and we were talking while her 2 kid were playing. Don't know when the little kid put a coin in his mouth and then started coughing and choking that kids mother immediately noticed something and without a further ado she hit that kid hard on his back. just 2 or 3 hit took that kid to spit that coin from his mouth we all heaved a sigh of relief. That kid was crying because he thought his mommy hit him too hard without any reason and the eldest was also crying because that coin was hers and she knew she did a big mistake by giving her coin to her brother

My daughter choked on a peach on her first birthday. I yanked her up out of her highchair pretty rough in fromt of everyonr, put her on my knee and started pouding on her back. My husband was like "your going to break her!!!" And i screamed through tears "do you want a broken rib or a dead baby!" i finally heard the peach smack the floor after she started turning blue. My husband had already called an ambulance just in case and the scream she let out was the best sound ive ever heard. The ems check her over and she was fine, albiet a bit scared and my husband kept asking them to check her back/ribs. They asked me how i did it while they checked her and i showed them with a near by teddy and they said that was exactly how it was needed. They then sat with my husband and taught him a quick first aid lesson. Its been about two years and she hasnt choked since. My husband still hasnt forgiven himself for panicking and still remember the huge rush of adrenaline and the shaking i experienced after. Its terrifying. Oh. And we paid over 1000$ for that visit 🤣
u did the right thing. my MIL watched our son while i was upstairs doing schoolwork and she texted me that he was choking. 7months old. moments passed as i flew down the stairs and did the same as you. i saved my son. she got out her phone. absolutely broke me.
Such an experience is very hard and to stay calm in this extreme situation is absolutely nessesary but not everyone can. You did absolutely right and your husband showed an absolutely normal reaction. I'm glad that it went well. Loosing a child is the worst thing that can happen to parents.
Those are back blows. Doing those from my past knowledge when I did First Aid, hitting the back that hard I think relaxes the muscles or diaphragm in the torso which allow the object to be coughed up. Y'ALL I'M NOT AN EXPERT SO DON'T COME AFTER ME. I AM ONLY SAYING WHAT I CAN REMEMBER FROM MY PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE
No, it has nothing to do with the diaphragm. It is simply jarring it free from the airway. Given the size of a neonates airway, it likely didn't even get as far down at the larynx. If it were an older child or adult, it would be in the right bronchus sonce it is wider and more verticallynaligned just below the trachea. The left bronchus is more narrow and angles off obliquely and therefore is less likely to contain a foreign. In either case, inverting the patient and administering hard blows works with gravity to jar it out of the airway.
People upset at those pops to the back. Myat not know that even giving an adult CPR and doing chest compessions can be so hard that they can break a rib or 2. Those pops on the baby's back were necessary.
@Boricua..4 you would end up with a dead child then. How about you leave the opinions to people who know what they are talking about and aren't to mentally weak to know the harsh truth
Ive taken cpr training multiple times. Honestly you need to be that rough or it may not dislodge whatever is causing them to choke. Yes its hard to see and honestly even harder to do as you dont want to hurt the baby more but allowing them to breathe is the most important thing in that situation @Boricua..4
I had something similar happen when I was a small child choking on a nickel. I was smacked hard on my back and the coin shot out hard into a wall. Its been a fear ever since and why I chew my foods to a pulp before I can swallow
Same thing happened to me and my uncle lift me up from my feet and slap me in the back And I spit out the candy😊. Sadly my uncle passed away few years ago 😢
It takes a lot of mental toll sometimes since many people have to immerse themself and comvince themself it's "real" and they really are their character. idk how others do it but lemme tell you it takes a certain kind of mental willpower
@@theovrseer3316 I’m talking about the baby cause the baby was actually crying and I paused it on time and it was a doll. I was wondering how do they get the baby to cry, what they do?
"You want a broken rib or a dead baby" those are some powerful words. Tell dad not too be too hard on himself. Cause i would have been screaming bloody murder.
@@dylen711what they are saying is do u want ur baby to die from choking (blue baby) or do u want ur baby do me alive and healthy (pink baby)… it might look brutal but it saved the baby
@@seanchartrand7459I think they mean “Would you rather have a blue baby (as in, no oxygen) or a pink baby (from the slaps) It looks brutal, its not. The show is grey’s anatomy❤️”
I used to be a preschool teacher. I had to take care and first aid, this is literally how you're supposed to do it. It looks harsh but it's how you save their life
Take a first aid/cpr/aed class for infants-adults and you will learn that this is what they teach you. They literally tell you not to wimp out because it's the deference of saving a life or not.
The way I was taught is that broken bones are better than a cadaver. Granted, this is in a hospital (do no harm), but its situations like this are the reason Good Samaritan laws exist for the common man.
Yup, I left bruises on my baby sons back and the ER staff, the NICU staff and a CPS worker all praised me. The ER doc literally said "Mama, it's okay, bruises and broken bones will heal, having to buy a casket doesn't."
Yea I worked as a CNA and that's first thing that we were told during the training for CPR and Himlic, if you are going to be sqimish about bruising someone in order to save their live than you should drop out of the class right now.
Thank you...🙌🙌 for posting this type of video, a couple of days earlier it actually saved my baby girl as she swallowed a coin accidentally, As I tapped her back she spilled out. Thank you ❤❤
THAT IS HOW THEY TEACH IT IN CPR TRAINING!!! Those were probably a little too brutal, but they NEED to be reasonably hard to force the object out of the airway
Back blows are necessary, for younger children if a child is choking back blows are in order because there bodies are to small to do the Heimlich, they should be firm and fast in the middle of the shoulder blades I am not a doctor but i have experience in doing this method multiple times, one year on thanksgiving I was the mere age of fourteen and my nephew who was five years old at the time was eating a deviled egg began to choke my two sisters were in the kitchen when it happened (both older) they were in a panic and my nephews lips were turning blue, I calmly put down my food and leaned him forward and delivered four back blows and he coughed up the egg, I watched youtube videos on how to perform CPR and the Heimlich because I wanted and still do to this day want to be a nurse, they have to be hard and firm in order to save a life if I didn't had done what i did that day it could have been much worse.
My certification is expired, but absolutely. It’s a smack with a bit of thrust between the shoulder blades. It’s the pediatric Heimlich maneuver. Face down, arm between legs, hand supporting under the chin, and the thrusts are actually called back blows. Some teach to put the baby on your legs and no support around the chin, but I wasn’t taught that way. I think it depends on size and circumstances.
Same thing with chest compresions, they are not supposed to just push a bit, they have to be strong and not hold back, the affected person may leave with some broken ribs and in a lot of pain, but at least they will be alive to feel it.
He was absolutely correct. As a dispatcher we read the instructions word for word from text prepared by a group of doctors every time you call and everything he did for that child could have come straight from the script. Everyone should take CPR classes and refresh every 2 years to pick up any new information.
My wife is a nurse, and she trained me how to do back blows with our kids. I've never had any serious choking incidents, but I did give our infant daughter a single back blow once, and the food she had in her throat came flying out in one try. So yeah it looks wild, but the technique shown in the show is accurate, even down to how you cradle the head/neck with your hand to prevent injury while giving back blows.
i wanna say docs are trained to do this knowing the parents won’t. the back of anyone is probably the strongest and yeah the babies pretty young it can still handle a bit of a beating his back isn’t as soft as his head😅
*As a former EMT-Intermediate for 10 years, and a registered respiratory therapist for the last 23 years, I can say that back blows are definitely one of the basic life support steps for clearing an airway.* *They rarely work to clear the airway, but can dislodge an object enough to get **_some_** airflow back, which can give us a few more minutes to set up for more invasive procedures.* *It helps a great deal to know what the victim is choking on- because if it’s something sharp that could cause terrible damage if yanked or forced out (like a screw, a hook, or a sharp plastic piece from a toy)- then it may be better to accept a partly blocked airway until they can get to an O.R., than to try to rip it out and cause worse damage… but if it’s just food, then do Heimlich maneuvers and back blows for as long as it takes. Or better yet, carry a LifeVac with you.* *The fact is that once someone’s airway is totally obstructed, there is very little time to get it cleared before the patient suffers brain damage or dies- so maneuvers like back blows, even though they may seem barbaric, are far less dangerous than doing nothing.* *And God bless you for trying!* 😎👍🏼
My husband was horrified when i upturned our son and gave his back a good firm few smacks the first time he choked (hes always been the kind of kid to cram every bit of food in his mouth that he can.) It shook him so badly he still speaks of it when one of our friends/family members has a new baby.
The other comment is right. He needs to get over it. Yeah the hits are hard, but would he rather have a child with a couple of bruises or a dead/hospitalised one?? You saved your sons life
@zainabaria6838 and @r3dfr0st7 Maybe I wasn't clear about this; my husband was shaken by the experience of our baby choking. When I say "he still speaks of it" I had meant he tells family and friends about how I saved our son from choking, how scary it was in the moment, and tells them what I did in order to knock loose the food our baby was choking on. He isn't parading around about how horrifying my smacking our child's back was and how horrible it was of me to do so.
@@beargrizzles ahh right. I’ve seen some comments talking about how the hits should be gentler cuz babies are fragile. They are stronger than many people think, and if a couple good thwacks saves them from dying then so be it. I can see how it can be horrifying for some to hit a child like that though. Also I apologise for what I said, I did misunderstand your comment
For everyone saying it’s way too hard, that’s exactly how you’re meant to save a choking infant. It’s just like CPR, a lot of people don’t realise how hard CPR is being performed, majority of CPR results in fractured or broken ribs. You’re trying to bring someone back to life or away from the brink of death. Broken bones and fractures can heal later, in the moment you’re dancing on the line between life and death, ain’t no one got time to worry about bones lmao
For those who are unaware or overly concerned about a baby being struck, this is taught in BLS/CPR (choking infant). It isn't a perfect representation (much like most techniques in medical dramas that air), but it's necessary. In reality, we're taught to hold the infant with the body resting on the forearm face down with the legs on each side and the open hand on the clavicle, the neck and head between the gap from the open thumb and first finger. The head should be in a more downward angle. The slap should be downward between the shoulder blades, with the heel of the hand being the focus of the impact. I get that the visual looks terrible, but many lifesaving techniques/procedures are.
My dad left out the house, I go in the kitchen as he is leaving out. I can hear the car start and my dad pull off. The next moment my daughter about 14 months old asked my sister for a piece of her bread. I see my sister tearing a piece off. My baby snatched the piece of bread fast as hell and stuffed her mouth. Now I'm seeing this bread getting torn so I walk over to control the situation I'm thinking get the bread and break off small pieces so she does not chock. The piece of bread went down baby girls throat. Everything happening so fast it felt unreal. My thought was to take the piece out her mouth. I can see the bread go down. Baby girl grabs her throat. I snatch her up running to my mom. My baby turned blue. One of yell call 911. I'm trying to do the heimlich, baby girl is getting more blue... Next thing my dad ran to us, snatched my baby and did just as this Doctor did here. A big azz piece of bread flew out her mouth, she gasp for air and her color came back... We looked at each other then looked at my dad in disbelief. He looked at us "something said to go back to the house. I'm thinking I got everything, I made sure of it before I left. Again, like I was being yelled at said go back to the house now! So I did. As soon as I cracked the door open I could y'all streaming and ran" he flopped into the chair and started crying "I was about to get on the interstate OMG I was about to get on the interstate". He grabbed my daughter from me and hugged her tight. He cried so hard because if he didn't listen to that voice he may have lost his granddaughter. The idea that he left the house for work to take care of his family, his granddaughter may not have made it while he was in route to work. I'm not saying this situation didn't disturb me, it did, but my dad, the way he talked about it haunted him for a long time, something that took a long time for him to deal with. He felt so guilty but their was nothing for him feel guilty about. As he said "you're living your life and everything is going fine, then in a split second everything can go so wrong. Just to think how much can happen in one second and how quickly a tragedy can take place" something he would say for many years. My dad past away nine years ago. He was eating dinner sitting on the sofa while watching a movie. My mom was in the kitchen, she heard his plate hit the floor and him gasped for air. He had a massive heart attack...

He did right thing medically, but it really is disturbing how many mental problems those surgeons have. A real art imitating life moment based on my 19 years working at a hospital. We put a whole lotta trust in those people IRL.
When i was a baby i accidentally started choking and in a panic my mom flipped me over and started hitting my back over and over lol. My mom was so thankful for the youtube video that she watched a week ago about choking babies.
Parents need to learn to shut their mouths and lean to stop telling doctors and nurses who have been to medical school anything. They also don't realize that doctors and nurses are worn out, stressed out and fully use to doing these things over and over they stay calm. And it has to be done hard to get whatever is obstructing the airways
@@midnightrain3567Everything you said is true, but 9 times out of 10 the doctor is right and the parents aren’t. The medical field can be tough, and one’s emotions can make things worse.
As a licensed CNA and BLS certified person, this is how we are taught, it's not like he magically though of it off hand. It is taught to us. The American Heart Association is who made this tactic.
He went in there so set to have an argument, and already dealing with alot of PTSD stymptoms, that the genuine shock of realising that they were thanking him triggered an episode. Owen may not be my favourite character, but i can appreciate his struggle and am incredibly impressed by Kevin Mckidd's abilty to portray a PTSD ridden war vet.
Worked as RN over 36 Yrs Midline back thrusts otherwise known as mid blade back strikes are part of ped-cpr practice for choking infant...to clear airway of obstruction... To layman...it looks brutal...but to save the life it must be done Same thought process for adult choking...brutal thrust to diaphragm via dual-fist thumb up strikes to upper abdomen just under rib line... Some people see cardiac massage via mid sternal thrusts that sometimes crack ribs It does look brutal ...but would you rather play passive and let the victims die ???
When I was 17 y/o, I got sick and while I was eating I sneeze and caugh at the same time and the food block my airways(choked). Almost die, my mum just look at me in shocked didn't do anything and I run to the bathroom almost passed out (couldn't breath, inhale or exhale and my vision got blurry) but I gather all my strength to control my breath and I use my finger and poke inside my mouth and thankfully I vomit and the food got out. I cried and didn't eat almost 3 days, I was so traumatized. 😢 people really need to learn Heimlich maneuver🤧
That's a hard spot to be in. He didn't want to hurt the baby but it was life and death situation. The mom understands that and is thankful because she knows she wouldn't have been brave enough to do it herself
I’m a pharmacist and I’ve saved someone from an anaphylactic shock before, I got praised for it which I was so grateful for but the best feeling in the world is seeing someone healthy and safe becuase I know I could help them
There is no person alive that would react in any other way than to thank this person for saving their baby. I thank this fictional person for saving this fictional baby because if it were my baby, I would want this person to step in and save my one and only baby in this way. God bless this depiction of a hero, this depiction of God's blessing upon mothers and fathers who gets no recognition. THANK YOU!!!!!!
That's called a good person doing the right thing the right way and being terrified that the world that we live in will tear them apart because someone's feeling got hurt or someone was offended
i just renewed my cpr card so i can confirm, this is exactly what they teach us to do for children of that age group. It looks harsh but some bruising and a sore back for a few weeks/months is better than your baby dying 🤲🏼💜
Thats how you supposed to do it I was 10 and choked on a pork chop, nobody realized till I bounced myself off the deck railing trying to basically do what the doctor did, by myself, didnt work, so i had this huge dude punch me in the back and out it flew 🤣 Didnt touch a pork chop for a decade lol
People seem to forget that when the alternative is death, unnecessary force quickly becomes irrelevant. I mean “desperate times call for desperate measures”.
He saved rhe baby. It was little rough than what we would like but the end goal was the same. And moments like that are absolutely terrifying. Especially when a baby is limp like that.
When you’re doing chest compressions, you usually break ribs. People are built to withstand a lot so they need a lot of force to help with things like in this situation. Not freaking out so the right amount of force was used in that situation is the most important thing.
as someone who’s taken first aid, were often told to expect breaking a few bones doing chest compressions for cpr or a rescue for someone who’s choking. first aid isn’t comfortable for anyone, it’s literally only meant to save lives as a largely emergency resource
What most people don't realize is that you do have to hit hard like that. Adrenaline helps in doing first aid when you are the first on the scene. BTW you also break bones doing chest compressions too. And a Heimlich Maneuver is like getting punched in the stomach. Vomiting sometimes follows (something first aid class didn't cover).
For respiratory patients we do CPT with our hands or with a special vest or with a special cup. He didn’t hurt that baby at all. He knew he had to hit her back hard enough to dislodge it or she would sustain brain damage. We have tools we can use to help dislodge it but depending on how narrow her airway was it was a real possibility that there was no moving using the tools plus using the tools could have put a hole through her trachea and respiratory structures.
When in CPR training we were taught how hard to hit the baby's back to save them. The teacher said "It's going to hurt the baby, the baby's going to cry. If the baby's not crying, it's a problem."
I'll never forget the Christmas Morning that my then 3 yr old Brother choked on Nickel. My Dad picked him up by his legs upside down and gave him 3 big slaps between his shoulders. The Nickel went flying across the room. That was the first and only time I saw my dad cry. My Dad is sadly gone and my baby brother is 59. You just go into auto pilot.
I have asthma and got it since i was 5 month old. From when I was 4 to 10, I was going to the hospital at least once every two month. I was used to passing out, getting move like I was a backpack with melting ice in it, and generally getting rough treatment to save my life. The only thing I remember foundly about thoses times was one guy, a 8ft tall man built like a bear who saved my life countless of times. One day he was making sure I could breath but when he finished, I told him my ribcage hurted and he respond "Good, if you feel pain, that mean you're still alive" I think he's the one that motivated me to work out and heal my condition. It is not fully healed, but it has been 14 years since the last time I was hospitalised.

No, it has nothing to do with the diaphragm. It is simply jarring it free from the airway. Given the size of a neonates airway, it likely didn't even get as far down at the larynx.

DITTO!❤
What episode is this again?
I had something similar happen when I was a small child choking on a nickel. I was smacked hard on my back and the coin shot out hard into a wall. Its been a fear ever since and why I chew my foods to a pulp before I can swallow
Same thing happened to me and my uncle lift me up from my feet and slap me in the back And I spit out the candy😊. Sadly my uncle passed away few years ago 😢
Same since I swallowed those sphere candy when I was a kid. Now I just carefully eat my food.
I bet you don’t eat fish because of that
@@mightyhamster1710 partly that, yes, but only because seafood in general makes me sick.
I recently learned youre supposed to chew like 20 times on one bite
If this is acting how do they do this it looks to real
Why tf did bro get pinned 😭💀

It takes a lot of mental toll sometimes since many people have to immerse themself and comvince themself it's "real" and they really are their character.
idk how others do it but lemme tell you it takes a certain kind of mental willpower

Blue baby or pink baby, which one? Looks brutal not. Grey’s Anatomy ❤
What does this mean
What 💀
Literally, you clearly dont speak english...
@@dylen711what they are saying is do u want ur baby to die from choking (blue baby) or do u want ur baby do me alive and healthy (pink baby)… it might look brutal but it saved the baby
@@seanchartrand7459I think they mean
“Would you rather have a blue baby (as in, no oxygen) or a pink baby (from the slaps) It looks brutal, its not. The show is grey’s anatomy❤️”
Facts. Doesn’t matter the methods. You saved my child. Thank you
I used to be a preschool teacher. I had to take care and first aid, this is literally how you're supposed to do it. It looks harsh but it's how you save their life
Take a first aid/cpr/aed class for infants-adults and you will learn that this is what they teach you. They literally tell you not to wimp out because it's the deference of saving a life or not.
The way I was taught is that broken bones are better than a cadaver. Granted, this is in a hospital (do no harm), but its situations like this are the reason Good Samaritan laws exist for the common man.
Yup, I left bruises on my baby sons back and the ER staff, the NICU staff and a CPS worker all praised me. The ER doc literally said "Mama, it's okay, bruises and broken bones will heal, having to buy a casket doesn't."
Yeah it was like the forst thing we learned in middle school health
All people need to take cpr you never know when you'll need it
Yea I worked as a CNA and that's first thing that we were told during the training for CPR and Himlic, if you are going to be sqimish about bruising someone in order to save their live than you should drop out of the class right now.
Thank you...🙌🙌 for posting this type of video, a couple of days earlier it actually saved my baby girl as she swallowed a coin accidentally, As I tapped her back she spilled out. Thank you ❤❤
No wayyyy
WHAT ARE THE CHANCES🐧😭
i cant tell if this is sarcasm or
Now you know how to treat a baby that’s joking
Balloons are one of the worst things a baby can swallow horriable stories able air blockage and the elasticity of balloons 😢
Movie name?

Come on bro can you read
Greys anatomy it’s on Netflix
It’s a scene in grey’s anatomy
Grey anatomy..bits a show or was a show
There is no other expression of love and thanks than this.
THAT IS HOW THEY TEACH IT IN CPR TRAINING!!! Those were probably a little too brutal, but they NEED to be reasonably hard to force the object out of the airway
Back blows are necessary, for younger children if a child is choking back blows are in order because there bodies are to small to do the Heimlich, they should be firm and fast in the middle of the shoulder blades I am not a doctor but i have experience in doing this method multiple times, one year on thanksgiving I was the mere age of fourteen and my nephew who was five years old at the time was eating a deviled egg began to choke my two sisters were in the kitchen when it happened (both older) they were in a panic and my nephews lips were turning blue, I calmly put down my food and leaned him forward and delivered four back blows and he coughed up the egg, I watched youtube videos on how to perform CPR and the Heimlich because I wanted and still do to this day want to be a nurse, they have to be hard and firm in order to save a life if I didn't had done what i did that day it could have been much worse.
My certification is expired, but absolutely. It’s a smack with a bit of thrust between the shoulder blades. It’s the pediatric Heimlich maneuver. Face down, arm between legs, hand supporting under the chin, and the thrusts are actually called back blows. Some teach to put the baby on your legs and no support around the chin, but I wasn’t taught that way. I think it depends on size and circumstances.
Same thing with chest compresions, they are not supposed to just push a bit, they have to be strong and not hold back, the affected person may leave with some broken ribs and in a lot of pain, but at least they will be alive to feel it.
THE DOC DID A GREAT JOB. HE SAVED A LIFE ❤
GOD BLESS HIM...
He saved the little Baby's life The parents should be So Grateful
He was absolutely correct. As a dispatcher we read the instructions word for word from text prepared by a group of doctors every time you call and everything he did for that child could have come straight from the script. Everyone should take CPR classes and refresh every 2 years to pick up any new information.
Exactly! I think I’ve taken 3 or 4 different courses, but they only taught these back blows in one of them!
When a life is saved, don't ask how it was saved.Just be happy the life was saved in the first place.
My wife is a nurse, and she trained me how to do back blows with our kids.
I've never had any serious choking incidents, but I did give our infant daughter a single back blow once, and the food she had in her throat came flying out in one try.
So yeah it looks wild, but the technique shown in the show is accurate, even down to how you cradle the head/neck with your hand to prevent injury while giving back blows.
i wanna say docs are trained to do this knowing the parents won’t. the back of anyone is probably the strongest and yeah the babies pretty young it can still handle a bit of a beating his back isn’t as soft as his head😅
Babybthat little still has softer bones and probably would not even break a rib.
As a firstaider I can confirm that's how you stop any baby from choking
Very true of her mother! I never could have done what you did.
The relief i felt when watching this brought tears to my eyes remember my ordel and having to save my children life twice
The show is called grey's anatomy

Grey’s Anatomy
*As a former EMT-Intermediate for 10 years, and a registered respiratory therapist for the last 23 years, I can say that back blows are definitely one of the basic life support steps for clearing an airway.*
*They rarely work to clear the airway, but can dislodge an object enough to get **_some_** airflow back, which can give us a few more minutes to set up for more invasive procedures.*
*It helps a great deal to know what the victim is choking on- because if it’s something sharp that could cause terrible damage if yanked or forced out (like a screw, a hook, or a sharp plastic piece from a toy)- then it may be better to accept a partly blocked airway until they can get to an O.R., than to try to rip it out and cause worse damage… but if it’s just food, then do Heimlich maneuvers and back blows for as long as it takes. Or better yet, carry a LifeVac with you.*
*The fact is that once someone’s airway is totally obstructed, there is very little time to get it cleared before the patient suffers brain damage or dies- so maneuvers like back blows, even though they may seem barbaric, are far less dangerous than doing nothing.*
*And God bless you for trying!* 😎👍🏼
My husband was horrified when i upturned our son and gave his back a good firm few smacks the first time he choked (hes always been the kind of kid to cram every bit of food in his mouth that he can.) It shook him so badly he still speaks of it when one of our friends/family members has a new baby.
That is upsetting but he needs to get over it respectfully
The other comment is right. He needs to get over it. Yeah the hits are hard, but would he rather have a child with a couple of bruises or a dead/hospitalised one?? You saved your sons life
@zainabaria6838 and @r3dfr0st7 Maybe I wasn't clear about this; my husband was shaken by the experience of our baby choking. When I say "he still speaks of it" I had meant he tells family and friends about how I saved our son from choking, how scary it was in the moment, and tells them what I did in order to knock loose the food our baby was choking on.
He isn't parading around about how horrifying my smacking our child's back was and how horrible it was of me to do so.
@@beargrizzles ahh right. I’ve seen some comments talking about how the hits should be gentler cuz babies are fragile. They are stronger than many people think, and if a couple good thwacks saves them from dying then so be it. I can see how it can be horrifying for some to hit a child like that though.
Also I apologise for what I said, I did misunderstand your comment
@r3dfr0st7 it's cool, dude. I just figured if two people were misunderstanding, I'd best clear it up. Have a great one!
For everyone saying it’s way too hard, that’s exactly how you’re meant to save a choking infant. It’s just like CPR, a lot of people don’t realise how hard CPR is being performed, majority of CPR results in fractured or broken ribs. You’re trying to bring someone back to life or away from the brink of death. Broken bones and fractures can heal later, in the moment you’re dancing on the line between life and death, ain’t no one got time to worry about bones lmao
You ain't telling no lie
The way the mom broke into tears.. That was brilliant acting 💗🗿👍🏼
For those who are unaware or overly concerned about a baby being struck, this is taught in BLS/CPR (choking infant). It isn't a perfect representation (much like most techniques in medical dramas that air), but it's necessary. In reality, we're taught to hold the infant with the body resting on the forearm face down with the legs on each side and the open hand on the clavicle, the neck and head between the gap from the open thumb and first finger. The head should be in a more downward angle. The slap should be downward between the shoulder blades, with the heel of the hand being the focus of the impact. I get that the visual looks terrible, but many lifesaving techniques/procedures are.
My dad left out the house, I go in the kitchen as he is leaving out. I can hear the car start and my dad pull off. The next moment my daughter about 14 months old asked my sister for a piece of her bread. I see my sister tearing a piece off. My baby snatched the piece of bread fast as hell and stuffed her mouth. Now I'm seeing this bread getting torn so I walk over to control the situation I'm thinking get the bread and break off small pieces so she does not chock. The piece of bread went down baby girls throat. Everything happening so fast it felt unreal. My thought was to take the piece out her mouth. I can see the bread go down. Baby girl grabs her throat. I snatch her up running to my mom. My baby turned blue. One of yell call 911. I'm trying to do the heimlich, baby girl is getting more blue... Next thing my dad ran to us, snatched my baby and did just as this Doctor did here. A big azz piece of bread flew out her mouth, she gasp for air and her color came back... We looked at each other then looked at my dad in disbelief. He looked at us "something said to go back to the house. I'm thinking I got everything, I made sure of it before I left. Again, like I was being yelled at said go back to the house now! So I did. As soon as I cracked the door open I could y'all streaming and ran" he flopped into the chair and started crying "I was about to get on the interstate OMG I was about to get on the interstate". He grabbed my daughter from me and hugged her tight. He cried so hard because if he didn't listen to that voice he may have lost his granddaughter. The idea that he left the house for work to take care of his family, his granddaughter may not have made it while he was in route to work. I'm not saying this situation didn't disturb me, it did, but my dad, the way he talked about it haunted him for a long time, something that took a long time for him to deal with. He felt so guilty but their was nothing for him feel guilty about. As he said "you're living your life and everything is going fine, then in a split second everything can go so wrong. Just to think how much can happen in one second and how quickly a tragedy can take place" something he would say for many years. My dad past away nine years ago. He was eating dinner sitting on the sofa while watching a movie. My mom was in the kitchen, she heard his plate hit the floor and him gasped for air. He had a massive heart attack...
I'm so sorry for your loss. Glad he was there to save your baby girl ❤😢

He did right thing medically, but it really is disturbing how many mental problems those surgeons have. A real art imitating life moment based on my 19 years working at a hospital. We put a whole lotta trust in those people IRL.
A real doctor try everything to save his patient, in name of everything!
As a former LEO. I’ve witnessed paramedics breaking ribs during chest compressions. Broken ribs hurt like crazy but you can’t heal dead
Attention, there is away to cup your hand that transmits concussion without damage
When i was a baby i accidentally started choking and in a panic my mom flipped me over and started hitting my back over and over lol. My mom was so thankful for the youtube video that she watched a week ago about choking babies.
🗿 wait what
R u still a baby 😂
Thank God for doctors that take chances for saving lives ❤❤❤
This is a great representation of what PTSD feels like sometimes.
Parents need to learn to shut their mouths and lean to stop telling doctors and nurses who have been to medical school anything. They also don't realize that doctors and nurses are worn out, stressed out and fully use to doing these things over and over they stay calm. And it has to be done hard to get whatever is obstructing the airways
Look not every doctor or nurse always is rights.....so please people have own judgment and instincts
And parents have every right to do
@@midnightrain3567Everything you said is true, but 9 times out of 10 the doctor is right and the parents aren’t. The medical field can be tough, and one’s emotions can make things worse.
As a licensed CNA and BLS certified person, this is how we are taught, it's not like he magically though of it off hand. It is taught to us. The American Heart Association is who made this tactic.
Being grateful is a gift for the person who made you grateful in the first place. 🥇
He went in there so set to have an argument, and already dealing with alot of PTSD stymptoms, that the genuine shock of realising that they were thanking him triggered an episode.
Owen may not be my favourite character, but i can appreciate his struggle and am incredibly impressed by Kevin Mckidd's abilty to portray a PTSD ridden war vet.
Worked as RN over 36 Yrs
Midline back thrusts otherwise known as mid blade back strikes are part of ped-cpr practice for choking infant...to clear airway of obstruction...
To layman...it looks brutal...but to save the life it must be done
Same thought process for adult choking...brutal thrust to diaphragm via dual-fist thumb up strikes to upper abdomen just under rib line...
Some people see cardiac massage via mid sternal thrusts that sometimes crack ribs
It does look brutal ...but would you rather play passive and let the victims die ???
When I was 17 y/o, I got sick and while I was eating I sneeze and caugh at the same time and the food block my airways(choked). Almost die, my mum just look at me in shocked didn't do anything and I run to the bathroom almost passed out (couldn't breath, inhale or exhale and my vision got blurry) but I gather all my strength to control my breath and I use my finger and poke inside my mouth and thankfully I vomit and the food got out. I cried and didn't eat almost 3 days, I was so traumatized. 😢 people really need to learn Heimlich maneuver🤧
That’s why doctors are most vital to our society. 🙏🙌✌️🤙🙏💯
A lady at work was foster mother to many children over the years. She took a class and learned this move. She was a wonderful lady.
Dr Hunt has ptsd and that's the reason he is reacting the way he does because he was in the military
Can someone who’s watched the show explain why he gets like that? What trauma does he have to start freaking out
I don't watch the show but maybe he's overstimulated and he's way of responding is reacting like that but idk
He used to be an army medic
he has PTSD
He has ptsd from being in the war (i belive in Iran) but I’m not sure what exactly triggered this episode
That's a hard spot to be in. He didn't want to hurt the baby but it was life and death situation. The mom understands that and is thankful because she knows she wouldn't have been brave enough to do it herself
I’m a pharmacist and I’ve saved someone from an anaphylactic shock before, I got praised for it which I was so grateful for but the best feeling in the world is seeing someone healthy and safe becuase I know I could help them
There is no person alive that would react in any other way than to thank this person for saving their baby. I thank this fictional person for saving this fictional baby because if it were my baby, I would want this person to step in and save my one and only baby in this way. God bless this depiction of a hero, this depiction of God's blessing upon mothers and fathers who gets no recognition. THANK YOU!!!!!!
What happened at the end? Explanation?
guy still feels guilty about doing that and thinks he didnt deserve the hug so he pushed her away
Child protective services were called police tazed him and broke the cops jaw… he has been on the lamb every since
It looks like he's in the middle of a panic attack because he was scared that he was going to be reported
Ptsd. He was an army trauma surgeon in in the middle east. A major i think. My wife watched it so I got snippets
@@ruthlesstony2133yeah, your ”wife” watches it.
It is ok to watch as a man too you know 😂.
Starts backslapping the woman too😂😂😭😭
That's called a good person doing the right thing the right way and being terrified that the world that we live in will tear them apart because someone's feeling got hurt or someone was offended
That is how it's supposed to be done. It's in medical handbooks and everything.
We don’t know what’s right or wrong in medicine since medicine is art. Tough decisions and actions are hard on both patient and doctor
Saving someone’s life is much more important than your feelings. In hospital, it’s about the result!
i just renewed my cpr card so i can confirm, this is exactly what they teach us to do for children of that age group. It looks harsh but some bruising and a sore back for a few weeks/months is better than your baby dying 🤲🏼💜
Which season and episode is this clip
Thats how you supposed to do it
I was 10 and choked on a pork chop, nobody realized till I bounced myself off the deck railing trying to basically do what the doctor did, by myself, didnt work, so i had this huge dude punch me in the back and out it flew 🤣
Didnt touch a pork chop for a decade lol
People seem to forget that when the alternative is death, unnecessary force quickly becomes irrelevant. I mean “desperate times call for desperate measures”.
Great doctor, wish we could still have them
It's the hardest thing to do.
I had to do it once. She is amazing today
He saved rhe baby. It was little rough than what we would like but the end goal was the same. And moments like that are absolutely terrifying. Especially when a baby is limp like that.
Medical professionals HAVE to be rough. It’s either a broken rib or a dead baby
Why was he having a panic attack at the end? Is it related to the time he served in the military.
I love how the mother does admit he was right to do that, and she knew she never would have had the courage to save her that way.
My dad saved my son this way. That day was a horrible nightmare which I wish no mother should go through. My dad saved him❤
Can't the baby get irreparably shaken
No, not like that.
When you’re doing chest compressions, you usually break ribs. People are built to withstand a lot so they need a lot of force to help with things like in this situation. Not freaking out so the right amount of force was used in that situation is the most important thing.
When a baby is choking you have to try your hardest to make it it cry Ik it sounds harsh but it’s true and will save the baby’s life
Can someone tell me why he started fazing out
Trauma response. He was in the military
What happened to the docter
I didn’t see this episode but he does have a history of terrible ptsd.
Nothing, the parents just thanked him
as someone who’s taken first aid, were often told to expect breaking a few bones doing chest compressions for cpr or a rescue for someone who’s choking. first aid isn’t comfortable for anyone, it’s literally only meant to save lives as a largely emergency resource
What most people don't realize is that you do have to hit hard like that. Adrenaline helps in doing first aid when you are the first on the scene. BTW you also break bones doing chest compressions too. And a Heimlich Maneuver is like getting punched in the stomach. Vomiting sometimes follows (something first aid class didn't cover).
Remember god children are everywhere in the name of Jesus Christ believe in Jesus Christ amen
Is this from a Netflix show?
Hunt is the perfect character to bring attention to veterans ptsd and other stuff.
For respiratory patients we do CPT with our hands or with a special vest or with a special cup. He didn’t hurt that baby at all. He knew he had to hit her back hard enough to dislodge it or she would sustain brain damage. We have tools we can use to help dislodge it but depending on how narrow her airway was it was a real possibility that there was no moving using the tools plus using the tools could have put a hole through her trachea and respiratory structures.
Aye I just got CPR certified yesterday… he definitely did what was needed to save the babies life. Sure it seemed rough but it saved the life.
That is exactly how they teach you to do it in CPR training! I’m glad the parents weren’t upset at all :D
I have been an American Red Cross lifeguard instructor since I was 19. That is absolutely what you’re supposed to do in that situation.
We need to stop being sensitive and weak when it comes to saving a LIFE. DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO!!!
Ok. That is CPR for an infant. Bravo!
When in CPR training we were taught how hard to hit the baby's back to save them. The teacher said "It's going to hurt the baby, the baby's going to cry. If the baby's not crying, it's a problem."
The parents were extremely grateful and hugged him
I'll never forget the Christmas Morning that my then 3 yr old Brother choked on Nickel. My Dad picked him up by his legs upside down and gave him 3 big slaps between his shoulders. The Nickel went flying across the room. That was the first and only time I saw my dad cry. My Dad is sadly gone and my baby brother is 59. You just go into auto pilot.
I have asthma and got it since i was 5 month old. From when I was 4 to 10, I was going to the hospital at least once every two month. I was used to passing out, getting move like I was a backpack with melting ice in it, and generally getting rough treatment to save my life.
The only thing I remember foundly about thoses times was one guy, a 8ft tall man built like a bear who saved my life countless of times. One day he was making sure I could breath but when he finished, I told him my ribcage hurted and he respond "Good, if you feel pain, that mean you're still alive"
I think he's the one that motivated me to work out and heal my condition. It is not fully healed, but it has been 14 years since the last time I was hospitalised.
