realizar compresiones torácicas
to pump blood to his brain
bombear sangre a su cerebro
Although it is more common to use a definite article (i.e. EL, LA) before parts of the body, it’s best to use a possessive article (i.e. SU, SUS), when describing medical interventions on one’s loved one. This demonstrates a more personal connection with the patient.

bombear sangre al resto de su cuerpo

When speaking to the family, instead of using the technical term: “bag valve mask” or “Ambu bag,” we simply said a bag mask or a mask with a bag.

To express that something has already occurred, it is common to use: Ya + verbo en pretérito.
Unfortunately, there is no more we can do to revive him.
Desafortunadamente, no hay nada más que podamos hacer para reanimarlo.
We use the subjunctive to express what we cannot do: “No hay nada más que podamos hacer.” We always use the subjunctive in adjective clauses that describe something that does not exist. Learn More: Quiz – The Subjunctive in Adjective Clauses
