Beschreibung:

P. 202: As soon as Alberto Alvarez had finished making the 911 call, he went to help Dr Murray move Michael Jackson’s body onto the floor, where Murray could perform more effective CPR with both hands, using the floor as a firm support. Alvarez went to grab Jackson’s legs but hesitated when he noticed a needle was still stuck in one of the singer’s legs. This needle was connected to a clear plastic tube, which led to the bag on the IV that Alvarez hadn’t been told to remove earlier. Dr Murray, seeing Alvarez’s hesitancy, came across and removed the needle and tube from Jackson’s leg and then, with Alvarez grabbing the singer’s legs and Murray his upper body, they moved Jackson from the bed to the floor.

Once Michael Jackson’s body was on the floor, Dr Murray placed a pulse oximeter on the singer’s fingertip. Alvarez asked Murray what the device was and was told that it was like a heart monitor. In fact, a pulse oximeter is nothing like a heart monitor as it instead monitors a person’s pulse rate and the percentage of a patient’s red blood cells that have oxygen attached to them, not a heart rate.
