I did a first aid course recently, they gave us a tip about how fast to do the compressions when doing CPR. I mean, who the hell could judge 100 bpm when under emergency stress? Simple. Do the CPR in time with the Ah Ah Ah Ahhh part of the Beegee's Stayin Alive.

Ah Ah Ah Ah Stayin Alii-ii-ii-ii-ive ....

I just know that if I ever have to do CPR for real, I am going to start singing that ...

Hmmm........I think they are kissing.........

That reminds me of someone.

RE CPR....

I'm glad now you don't have to do the breathe step. That makes it a lot easier. Esp in some of the nastier scenarios.

ZenGum · 02-16-2009, 09:32 PM

You "should" do the breathe step - but you "should" have a mask. Without a mask, it is "optional" - patient has a better chance if you do, you have a better chance if you don't.

And the current formula is 30 compressions then two effective breaths, up from 15/2 when I last trained five years back, and way off the 5/1 when I first did it.

I don't understand this. How would you breathe into the unconscious person's mouth if you're wearing a mask? And what are you protecting yourself from, herpes?

ZenGum · 02-16-2009, 10:50 PM

No, no, no. You use a phantom of the opera type mask to conceal your identity, so they cant sue you for feeling them up while pretending to do CPR.

Or, you might use a resuscitation mask which enables you to breathe into the patient's mouth without getting their kooties into your mouth or yours into theirs. The former is especially important if they have oral bleeding (knocked out tooth, eg) or vomiting (gastral backflow common in horizontal unconscious patients).

Hazards include hepatitis and HIV. And herpes, I guess, and colds, flu, glandular fever etc etc. Kooties, generally.

Now there is no need to ventilate. The hands only method has been deemed equally effective.
