If you are using a portable defibrillator with one-use pads, ALWAYS make sure they are appropriately hooked up to the leads. What He Should Have Done: When removing the pads, always make sure the leads are attached. In addition (it's a bit hard to see, so you might have missed it), he places the second defibrillator pad on the wrong side of his body! He correctly places one beneath his left collar bone, but then places the other pad under his arm on the SAME side of his body.

Still, he makes a rookie mistake when he doesn't check the leads on the defibrillator before attaching the pads to his chest, a mistake that very nearly costs him his life.

Now, I'm cutting him some slack because he did happen to be poisoned AND experiencing ventricular tachycardia (rapid heartbeat caused by improper electrical activity in the heart), which would probably make what he was attempting pretty difficult. What Happens: James Bond, international man of mystery: lethal, cunning, fearless…and completely incapable of working a portable defibrillator. If you have a suggestion for a future entry, please comment below! That said, his CPR technique needed work, and there was no chest rise and fall when he was delivering rescue breaths.ĬPR in Entertainment is a series based on rescue scenes found in both TV shows and movies. As Bond does CPR, he manages to do some things correctly, including properly finding the correct location for doing the compressions (which some claim he does for other immature reasons). The next CPR scene happens after a drowning, and the victim is Bond’s supervisor Vesper Lynd, as played by Eva Green. Movies are wonderful things, aren’t they? At this point, he recovers and the movie goes on. Finally, someone else comes along and does it for him after he passes out. He then makes it to his car where he injects himself with something, and proceeds to attempt to use a defibrillator on himself. He proceeds to drink a cup full of saltwater, and then stumbles out of the building. He realizes what is happening, and stumbles to a restroom with a glass and a salt shaker from a table he passes along the way. In the first scene, James Bond is poisoned.

Casino Royale is one of the latest James Bond movies, and was the first to star Daniel Craig in the leading role. And neither of them accurately portrayed. There are two CPR sequences in Casino Royale to mention.
