They aren’t doing CPR, the baby is on a ventilator ffs. She’d have been dead a long time ago if she relied on manual CPR to bring her back.
Reading more about it it seems sometimes they have to manually inflate her damaged lungs and if they didn’t she would die. So it seems whatever they are doing involves ensuring the ventilator keeps functioning. I was wondering if they were having to suction in some way to keep her from suffocating.
However, people can absolutely do a shit job of CPR if they don’t actually want to assist someone in cardiac arrest. In fact plenty of ppl just manage to break ribs doing shitty CPR rather than help expel air from the lungs. An experienced nurse could certainly pantomime a valiant CPR attempt if they wanted to and felt it was helping end the torture of someone.
Ok yes, you are right. I associate heart issues typically with cardiac arrest. Yes, it does seem she desats badly and the lungs need to be reinflated.
I wish the mom would get a dnr and let the poor thing pass.
