Hmm, that could lead to more confusion. Imagine a real emergency scene that's loud and confusing, you can barely hear the box talking to you, and so when it starts talking again, you take a second to focus on what it's saying in all the chaos, and all you hear is, "...re-analyzing heart rhythm." You'd stop for longer, and then become worried when the box seemingly stops giving instructions, like perhaps it's malfunctioned on you. The "in one minute" part is the most important part of that alert, so the people providing care need to be able to hear it. If in the same scenario as above, they would hear something like, "...rhythm in one minute."

In fairness though, I don't think there's really any one perfect phrasing for it, there's always going to be a situation where the alternative might be better. What's important is the analyse and shock voice.

@@OriginalRAB Adding onto your explanation (and correct me if I'm mistaken anywhere), the way a defibrillator works is that the electric shock essentially stops the heart beating outright. From there, either the heart's natural pacemaker can kick back in, starting the heart beating normally on its own; or the patient enters cardiac arrest, at which point CPR can begin. Assuming the defibrillator is functioning correctly and doesn't cause any further injury.

@crescentceleste

I loved that detail. Although I'm aware of how a defibrillator works, it was so refreshing to hear this explanation said so plainly and simply. That's why the analysis of the heart rhythm is so important because there are some rhythms that the defibrillator cannot shock at all such as asystole (when there heart isn't beating at all and there's no electrical activity whatsoever) and PEA (pulseless electrical activity - when there is some electrical activity in the heart but it's not enough to cause a pulse). And just because someone starts off with an unshockable rhythm doesn't mean that their heart won't enter one that can be shocked. Sometimes if for instance a person is in PEA, that can then change into a shock able rhythm so it's always important to keep the pads of the defibrillator on because whether a shock is advised can change.

I admire the clickbaity use of the word "shocking" in the title, which wasn't actually clickbait.

One thing that annoys me about TV/movie chest compressions is how little effort they put in. A successful compression should move the chest 1 third of the way down. Obviously they can't do this to actors, if they did they would break the actors ribs (yes it's as horrible as it sounds). But the fact they show a "bad method" probably does cost lives. Also. You can't act if you do it right. It's exhausting. After a minute or so a normal person will be breathing hard. Adrenaline kicks in. But after 4-5 mins your muscles burn like hell. What really really annoys me about TV tho. Is how the (usually terrible) actor just springs back to life after a little cough and starts talking. Real everyday people think that's how it works. Trying to explain to a family that you did all you could. When as far as they are concerned their loved one should be drinking tea and arranging a date, rather than being dead. Is ..... Not fun. But that's the modern world for you. Most people believe what they see on a screen over objective reality. As a side note. When you do "training" like Tom did. Youd be amazed. You snap into it almost instantly and know you want to do it right. Panic and all.... Even when it's a doll

True. Dignity is a convoluted thing though, as it's tied to a patient's will to live. The latter has after all to *want* to live, and to believe that the misery inherent in the recovery process is going to be worth struggling through. I had to learn that the hard way. Recovering from severe injury puts the mind through hell as much as the body.

I'd give that a go here in Australia if we had smart defibrillators located on street corners or outside shopping centres... Another win thank you :)

Its very cool, but i also rly hope that at least in the very tourist-visited cities like London, they start taking care of the telephone boxes in their original state. I was in London 2 years ago and only some worked, and many had broken glass, door stuck (had to try hard to open), damaged telephone (or completely missing it), or smelled like a toilet. I think its rly important to preserve something like that. I never used these when they were widely used, since i wasn't born yet, so i didnt rly know how to use them. i tried calling home from that phone 3 times but failed, these specific telephones were working but i couldn't figure out how to exactly use them

I dont think so. These seem to practically invite vandals. It’s exactly the type of thing local kids who got nothing better to do would play around with

My partner and I have a running joke where we say ‘why is there a telephone in that defibrillator box?’ Whenever we see an actual pay phone.

Marvelous reuse. I may talk with our council about this here in my small village in the US. Our phone boxes were mostly phased out in the 70s for standing kiosks, but such a shelter could be purpose built and painted bright yellow. I would suppose all the surviving blue police boxes in Britain have long sense been snapped up by pop collectors.

I didn't expect that! Cool idea! Here in the US, people put them in for their kids to wait for the school bus and not have to stand in the rain/snow.

Great video, very helpful, I did know they did this to some Red phone boxes but good to watch Tom learn how to use the defibulator.

Around here (in Germany) a lot of communities convert some of our old phone boxes (which were yellow like the post here) to public bookshelves where everyone can leave and take books as they please. It's not that expensive for some shelving, maybe some glass repair and preserves the old phone cabinets in the streets. But I really like the defibrillator idea, especially since the boxes are already connected to power, it's a great recycling idea! Love it. I kinda wish there were more around here, I've only seen defibrillators / signs pointing to them in public buildings or like universities and museums.

I had the experience of having to use one of these 4 years ago.

My dad didn't make it but further investigations suggested the defib wouldn't have made a difference. Those five minutes stood in that phone box trying random numbers are easily the worse five minutes i've had. I don't blame the service and have nothing but praise for the NHS. Following what happened, we had meetings with the NHS and locally they introduced a coding system to make them easier to open. Great video but god damn if it didnt bring some poor memories back.
