THIS. I had never heard of agonal breathing before I heard @DGlaucomflecken doing it. I thought he was snoring, then I thought he was having a respiratory issue. I would never have known to do chest compressions without the 911 dispatcher telling me to. We need more awareness!
ResuscitationAcademy@ResuscAcademy25 Feb 2020
Agonal breathing is present in approximately 60% of patients with VF cardiac arrest. Yet the presence of agonal breathing will often confuse the caller and/or dispatcher into thinking the patient is not in cardiac arrest. Remember to ask if the patient is breathing NORMALLY.

#Survivorship after #CardiacArrest is complex & impacts everyone in the #SystemofCare @youcansavealife @SCAA @patientslikeme @MakeBLSBasic @BystandersNet @SCCMPresident @RecoveryICU @icurehab @DrRosalindCase
AHA CPR & First Aid@HeartCPR12 Feb 2020
New statement in @CircAHA highlights survival after #cardiacarrest as complex & requiring long-term support. Healthcare partners & community leaders can provide survivors, families & rescuers a chance to share stories & become advocates for CPR training and general CA awareness.
