    Like even if there were no ads you’d learn how to help in a timely manner.

    “What’s up guys! It’s me, your boy, MikeyMedic here with another video of a standard first aid technique, the Abdominal Thrusts!! Now the Abdominal Thrust is a standard first aid trick that is used to help someone when they’re choking 5 minutes on things you can choke on Speaking of food to choke on, our sponsor this week is FoodBox! 3 minutes of FoodBox ad Abdominal Thrusts used to be called the Heimlich Maneuver! Henry Heimlich was… 5 minute history on the Heimlich Maneuver and now I’m going to perform an abdominal thrust on my friend, Someguy420! Check out his videos on another 2 minutes for a partner plug and then 1 minute on how to perform abdominal thrusts And that’s how you perform an abdominal thrust! Be sure to check out my other videos. 3 minutes on other video content, liking and subscribing and hitting that bell.”

      I would like to shill Sponsorblock, an extension where users can select sections of a video, mark them as “introduction” “non-music” or “sponsor” and it automatically skip those video sections if you want. It has made using Youtube so so so much smoother.

        Heimlich started trying to discredit back blows without any evidence and was being kinda a dick about it, so the Red Cross renamed the “Heimlich Maneuver” to “Abdominal Thrusts.”

        Thoracic surgeon and medical researcher Henry Heimlich, noted for promulgating abdominal thrusts, claimed that back slaps were proven to cause death by lodging foreign objects into the windpipe. A 1982 Yale study by Day, DuBois, and Crelin that persuaded the American Heart Association to stop recommending back blows for dealing with choking was partially funded by Heimlich’s own foundation. According to Dr. Roger White of the Mayo Clinic and American Heart Association (AHA), “There was never any science here. Heimlich overpowered science all along the way with his slick tactics and intimidation, and everyone, including us at the AHA, caved in.”

        Heimlich’s son, Peter M. Heimlich, alleges that in August 1974 his father published the first of a series of fraudulent case reports in order to promote the use of abdominal thrusts for near-drowning rescue.

        In May 2016, Henry Heimlich, then age 96, claimed to have personally used the maneuver to save the life of a fellow resident at his retirement home in Cincinnati. It was alleged to be either the first or second time Heimlich himself used his namesake maneuver to save the life of someone in a non-simulated choking situation. According to Heimlich’s son, Peter M. Heimlich, “both ‘rescues’ were bogus.”

        …well, damn.

        If I remember correctly from my first aid training, the Heimlich family themselves asked for it not to be called that, possibly to avoid being implicated in instances of it going wrong! Or possibly my first aid instructor was full of shit… :-)

      Abdominal Thrust is a standard first aid trick

      I would have switched off and gone to find another video at this point.

      Abdominal thrusts are not recommended for choking due to considerable evidence that it can cause harm.

      Cyberpunk isn’t too far off…

      source
      • Hyperreality@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Of course not. Cyberpunk and tech noir usually isn't just about the future, it's arguably about now. More generally, science fiction is often used as a 'safe' way to criticise existing society or say what can't otherwise be said.

        Prime example: Tarkovski's science fiction films (Stalker, Solaris, ...), which smuggled very religious themes past the soviet censor, because 'it's only science fiction'.

        Make a movie glorifying terrorism? Likely jail sentence and on a list. Make a movie glorifying a terrorist that blows up parliament in a dystopian future? Cult classic.

        Make a tv episode where one of the main cast has a sexual relationship with a trans character, who is later forced to undergo gender reaffirming therapy in 1992? Impossible. Make it about Riker having a relationship with an alien who's not androgynous because her race finds gender weird? Prime time tv.

        Make a tv programme about the guilt of a Nazi who worked in a camp while the Jews were being exterminated? No way that's happening. Make a tv programme about the guilt of a space alien who worked in a camp while other space aliens were being exterminated? That particular Star Trek episode was broadcast in prime time, to wide acclaim.

        For this reason, and on a related note, anyone who complains about a science fiction show or movie being 'too political' is more often than not a moron and/or someone who's never watched or read scifi content but is pretending to be a fan.

      As true as that is, in an emergency people don’t always have time to seek out professional help, and it ain’t like calling 911 will magically make an ambulance appear in 30 seconds.

      • Zagorath@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Adblocking on mobile is much harder than adblocking on desktop, and if you’re in an emergency situation like the one described, you’re more likely on your phone.

        Personally I use ReVanced, which incorporates adblocking as well as giving you Premium features like background playing & PIP (while also keeping the benefits of being signed in to YT, like using your playlists, comments, etc.). But if I were an iPhone user I don’t know how I would watch YouTube.

      Even if someone already knows how to do the Heimlich Maneuver, is that really going to be effective when someone is choking on a fish bone that’s almost certainly sharp and stuck in there?

      source
      • geekworking@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        A fine fish bone is also not big enough to block the airway by itself. Heimlich can clear enough of whatever is stuck with the bone to at least partially open the airway.

        FWIW, abdominal thrusts are not recommended for choking due to considerable evidence that it can cause harm. “Abdominal thrusts” is the more formal term for what’s sometimes called the Heimlich Manoeuvre. Use chest thrusts instead.

        Piped is a totally separate website mostly designed to avoid YouTube tracking you.

        ReVanced lets you sign in so you can do things like thumbs up/down videos (it also comes with “Return YouTube Dislike” so you can see downvote ratios), interact with your playlists like Watch Later, and comment. Piped, to my knowledge, does not.

        I’m not sure where Piped stands on PIP and background playback. ReVanced gives you both of them, but if I had to guess I’d say it’s likely that Piped will support PIP but not background playback, since it seems like PIP is something Android lets you have nearly for free (in terms of developer effort) but background playback seems to need more work to support.

      The best time to learn emergency lifesaving procedures is before you need them, but the second best time is when you need them. Being old fashioned about this could cost a life.

      If you have a quicker reference people should bookmark for such cases, the kind thing would be to share it rather than judge. Else, panicking people will inevitably go where they know they can usually get fast instruction about any other topic.

      They could easily just postpone ads for all videos. Most instances could save some vital/fascinating information until after the ad, but the CPR basics could be summarized quickly before the ad. By then your hands are fully engaged so you have to let the ad play, and afterwards you can learn about the depressing statistics of anyone surviving, much less recovering fully.
