Yes, I agree, giving mouth-to-mouth to a family member or a child probably wouldn't be an issue.

You know when you do the same training every year, and still you take something new away each time?
I must say the most important message this year was that doing the best you can - even if it's not perfect - is better than doing nothing; and that the worst thing you can do is do nothing for fear of getting it wrong!

You will probably complain about the British Health Service, but I work in a multi-disciplinary community team, which provides services, visits and advice to people in day centres, schools and their own homes ... and we are not provided with CPR masks!
Either we buy our own, or we don't have any ... :heated:
 
there is also this type which is very small and fits with your keychain

Call 911

Ask police what to do. :hiding:

JazzakAllahu khairan sister. I really never thaught about this. I wonder what did people in the past do. I have heard stories where the doctors would cut a human so theit blood comes out because they thaught the blood was causing it and if the person dies they thaught they didn't cut the person fast enough,or something like that.

all you need is to deliver air and curb on germs, a person who is just laying there is really no great threat to anyone.. but yeah I see that it is flimsy.. thus it is better to get the sturdier form..

I wouldn't personally give mouth to mouth to someone who wasn't family without a safe shield!

Baraka Allah feeki, my pleasure..


btw this whole thread isn't inspired so you can run to the aid of random strangers, although it would be nice if you can make a mere phone call to get them help, however, in case of an at home emergency, you need to know what to do if God forbid a parent or a sibling or a child or a cousin needs your urgent help..my aunt just lost her husband recently and has been feeling very guilty about it, not that I think that CPR would have saved my uncle as it was time to go, but just so you are not living with so much guilt of what if I had done this or that, and for just that reason I post this..

you need to memorize this stuff, you have no time to ask someone for what to do, you need to act!

whoaaaaaa would the ACLS/BCLS certified pls identify themselves? :D
 
I have two certificates in basics. One has expired and the other has no date on it. Seen it in action on T.V several times too.

I am going to refresh knowledge and skills by doing another training session. They're free to college students. :P

2. BLOW Tilt the head back and listen for breathing. If not breathing normally, pinch nose and cover the mouth with yours and blow until you see the chest rise. Give 2 breaths. Each breath should take 1 second.

That is old stuff, studies have shown you don't need to pucker up to save someone's life. Doing simple chest compressions alone is just as effective and less gross, not to mention more hygienic.

Indeed you are right, but they didn't do away with it because it is 'unnecessary' they did away with it because they felt that folks would be less inclined to help if they had to go mouth to mouth and not everyone has a CPR mask handy getting some blood to the brain from compressions is better than nothing at all.. even shocking someone lousily is better than not at all (that is if you are a witness to a cardiac arrest and portable just happens to be lying around) however if it is someone you know like a family member, then it is best to go for both..
