    That is outdated information, with a couple of scary bits in there too... I HIGHLY suggest utilizing the AHA approved methods for CPR unless trained to a different standard as a professional. Tip for anyone that winds up in a CPR situation, no mouth to mouth... that is how you get nasty incurable diseases... There is also decent evidence suggesting there is enough Oxygen in the blood stream to keep someone going without rescue breathing already, as long as they get advanced medical treatment as soon as possible (read 10-15 minutes) which is likely to occur in most situations. One of the biggest things I cannot stress enough, is if the patient is pulseless and apneic, DO NOT DELAY COMPRESSIONS. none of the pinch the nose and what not business... its pointless... Compressions should also continuous unless trained to use a BVM or barrier device to protect yourself from exposure... Often times patients in cardiac arrest will vomit because of excess air entering the stomach due to forced respirations. Hence, why there is now an emphasis on hands only CPR... the 2 inch rule and location was spot on... push hard and fast as you want atleast 100 compressions per minute, if not more... Didn't mean to stomp on any toes Taz, just want to make sure people are safe and know the right info...

    Obviously, on an internet forum i am not giving out medical advice. To end this monster of a post, I suggest taking an approved CPR course and first aid course at the minimum if you are serious about prepping... I would really recommend you get your EMT or higher as it also offers a career opportunity if you are young enough... there are never enough skilled and qualified EMS professionals....
    It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.

    yes but it was over 30 years ago as Pop and I were taking my mother to hospital. did mouth to mouth and compressions. wasn't easy as we are in the car but Dr said I did keep mom going. he also said if her heart hadn't collapsed , she would have made it. but years of asthma attacks had weakened her heart very badly.

    I'm sure that due to the newer health issues, training has differed over the years. I'd better see that I get myself in for refresher on CPR training. The only other thing I've done is theheimlich on a friend chocking on a wad of beef at a convention we were at. I'm a small woman and he was over 300 lbs, good thing I am blessed with "boarding house-" reach. I barely was able to get around him to do the maneuver'but I was able to do it and as he would tell anyone listening"saved" him. After I sat back down and finished my dinner,didn't think about it, just did it.I tend to freak out after the fact, do the job, think about it later. Guess that's part of being the eldest of 6 kids and being the responsible one. lol

    Same here with the doing the job concept... I get it done, then I think about how crazy it was... lol...
