00:00Adam? Adam? Adam? Adam, speak to me! Adam, what's going on? Adam!
00:25Hello, ambulance please.
00:27Ambulance service, is the patient breathing?
00:29No, no, he's sort of breathing strangely, he's gasping.
00:34What is the address of the emergency?
00:36Erm, it's near the Ayrshire Farm shop, we're outside, we're on the footpath.
00:43Okay, tell me exactly what happened.
00:45We were just walking, he was just talking to me and then he just collapsed, he just keeled over, he's on the floor, I can't get him up.
00:52I'm organising help for you now, stay on the line, I'll tell you exactly what to do next.
00:57Listen carefully, lay them flat on their back on the floor and remove anything under their head.
01:02Listen carefully and I'll tell you how to do chest compressions.
01:06Place the heel of your hand on the breastbone, right between the nipples, and your other hand on top of that hand.
01:13Pump the chest hard and fast, at least twice per second and two inches deep.
01:18Let the chest come all the way up between pumps. We're going to do this until help can take over.
01:23Count out loud so I can count with you.
01:26Okay, start counting out loud now.
01:28One, two, three, four.
01:31One, two, three, four.
01:34Continue with the chest compressions, I'm sending you a drone which is carrying a defibrillator. It will arrive in five minutes.
01:48One, two, three, four.
01:51One, two, three, four.
01:54One, two, three, four.
01:57Keep doing the compressions over and over, don't give up. This will help keep them going until the ambulance crew arrives.
02:03One, two, three, four.
02:06One, two, three, four.
02:09One, two, three, four.
02:12One, two, three, four.
02:15One, two, three, four.
02:18One, two, three, four.
02:21Okay, the drone is arriving now. Continue chest compressions. Tell the bystander to collect the defibrillator and bring it back to the patient.
02:29The ambulance service is sending a drone with a defibrillator. I need you to go and collect it.
02:34Put the defibrillator on the floor next to their head, on the side closest to you.
02:46Open the packet of pads, peel off the backing and apply the pads to their bare chest as shown.
02:52The machine will tell you what to do. Follow its instructions. Tell me what you're doing so I'll know how it's going.
02:58Don't stop chest compressions until the ambulance crew take over from you.
03:05We've got a pulse. He's just stopped any compressions.
03:11I'd just like to give you this card. It's from the Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland advice line.
03:16So the number on that, if you give me a call, I'll just give you a wee bit of support.
