    ANNIE, ANNIE.......ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT????????????????????????????????? Arg!!!!!!!!!
    haha, mouth to mouth is back to being a taboo deal... dont get caught doing it down here unless you want to be collecting food stamps...
    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.

    This method has been proven to work. Here is a video of a complete flatlined individual for more then an hour and came back to life and kept his brain intact with no damage.

    While it works, CPR survival rates are still quite low... This was an exception to the majority of Cardiac Arrests... In a survival situation, CPR is essentially useless unless you have a trained team of providers with the needed drugs and equipment to support resuscitation and post resuscitation measures and procedures... Even then, you have to correct the initial cause of cardiac arrest, which is highly unlikely to happen in a survival situation.

    Edit: Well, apparently this thread popped back up 2 days shy of a year from my first code I worked...
