Scenario 1:

About 10 years ago my neighbour rang me to tell me he was worried about his wife and could I visit (it was about 1am). I arrived to find her unconscious in her bed. She was on her back vomting - he thought she may have taken something to try to commit suicide. She had also have 2 big glasses of overproof cooking spirits. She started to vomit and was choking - we rolled her on to her side and she vomited repeatedly.
We had called an ambulance by this time.
While waiting for the ambulance she stopped breathing.
We lay her on the floor (needed a hard surface) and couldnt find a pulse in her neck. He was a pilot so he had done first aid.
We started compressions on her chest and he did the breathing part (I wasnt going to breathe into her mouth after she has puked!). This went on for a little while and she started to wake up just as the ambulance arrived. She had a major reaction to the alcohol and this had caused her to stsop breathing and after her heart stopped.
She was taken to hospital and placed on a ventilator. She ended up being fine.


Scenario 2:

Was working in the hospital - pt complained of being dizzy and feeling breathless - I got her some oxygen and grabbed a doctor. She said she needed to do a poop but as she sat up she had diarrhoea which was full of blood.
Her blood clotting ability wasnt working and she was having a major bleed into her bowel and stomach.
She was vomiting blood and the blood dairrhoea continued.

She became unconscious very quickly - we started CPR but she was losing blood too quickly to replace. We gave her lots of transfusions and fluids into her veins but it made no difference. She died from exsanguation (lost all her blood). No point doing CPR if there is no blood to pump around the body.

Scenario 3:

I was at an outdoor market when an old man fell down on the ground unconscious. Another person (a bystander) and I did CPR untiul the ambulance arrived but he died at the hospital.
His heart had a rythym problem and it became so bad that it finally went into a rythym that killed him.
