yillin 09/02/19 2:58:44 PM #4:	You are pumping their heart (with a lot of force. normally enough to break the sternum) to move blood to keep the brain oxygenated. As far as I know CPR doesn't teach the breathing aspect anymore. --- There's a calm before the storm and the western front is quiet.

DespondentDeity 09/02/19 3:00:46 PM #5:	More and more they're teaching you that the compressions are a lot more effective than mouth to mouth, they still teach that part, but the focus is heavily on the compressions. It doesn't simulate a heartbeat, you're actually supposed to be pressing on the heart to try and restart blood flow. The truth is tho that CPR is rarely effective, it may buy someone time but actually resuscitating someone is a movie thing. --- https://imgur.com/8DBAEJJ \| https://imgur.com/U2ZWTrH Tell karma I love her, been a real good motherf***er <cite>DespondentDeity posted [p:926867713] in How does C...

Vladimir 09/02/19 3:03:34 PM #8:	Mouth to mouth seems like a thing of the past now. It usually starts with a pocket mask as youre preforming chest compressions. Then of course, theres more advanced tools such as AED, OPA/NPA (NPA rarely used), BVM, etc. <cite>Vladimir posted [p:926867864] in How does C...

As someone CPR/First Aid certified since 2005, the success rate is like 17% IIRC. That my seem discouraging but it's not.
