actually, this how deep to perform compressions. The patients ribs may break but this is normal in some cases involving CPR.

I have to say she did an excellent job of shattering the dummies xyphoid process and killing it.

You don’t always break a patients ribs when performing CPR.

CPR may infact break the ribs. Is this the case for every CPR situation? No. However, some patients ribs will break due to the depth of compressions/ downward force being applied as you compress.

p.s. SproutConure, what field of nursing are you in or what type of nurse are you an, RN, LPN, Psychiatric nurse?

True the victim may be (dead.) However, remember that first resonders/ lay rescuers cannot declare a patient to be dead unless of course like their head is not connected to the body, etc. Only doctors can declare a patient to be dead. The GSL in Canada will protect you as long as you offer to help assistance, act in good faith, do not leave/ abandon the Pt., & if you have a first aid ticket, you use the training which your ticket allows.

Remember the victim is dead. In most cases, the good sam. law will protect bystander rescuers. In the US, the survival rate is in the single digits, often because the bystanders do NOTHING. Anyone CAN do this, because something is always better than nothing. I’m a CPR instructor and nurse. Thanks!

Studies have shown that most people give inadequate chest compressions when providing CPR. It is NECESSARY to push hard, push fast at the rate of 100 a minute to force blood to the brain and prevent brain death. (Yes, I’m a CPR instructor and a nurse.)

Check out this new mattress designed by college students. It makes CPR faster and more efficient in hospitals.

Good intro to cpr but…..
to be FULLY TRAINED, it is a 2 to 3 day course with much more training involved than
learned from a 1 min video.

By the way, remember that just because you are being shown how to do CPR in this video, this doesn’t mean anyone can go ahead and do it. Make sure you are properly trained to deal with the nature of the emergency. I recommend not to do this without a valid first aid ticket.

Although the GSL, may be be different in some countries so be sure you are fully aware of your rights and obligations of the Good Samaritain Law.

fuck this id rather die

he showed us how to do it on annie doll thingy but then 1 of us lied down and we tried it on eachother

Oh no way, I am actually a first aid attendant for St. John Ambulance Brigade. I am going into my 7th year in September. When did you take the course? I have never been taught or have even heard of studens practicing on eachother. Although if you press lightly I guess not much damage could happen. I am suprised they didn’t use the Annie dolls.

we gt taught by saint johns ambulance and did it on are classmates i dont think anyone presses in that hard tho

This is true, the United States, Canada and other countries do have Good Samaritan lwas which protect people when they offer to help a person in need. However, this law only protects you if you Identify yourself as a person trained in first aid/ offer to help, use only protocol that DOES NOT go against your scope of training, you act in good faith, and you do not abandon or leave the patient.
