I have plenty of CPR's, there is no cause, some life threatning conditions require CPR as a hope of survival. Condition of such patients is indeed critical otherwise they would not require CPR. It is a very scary thing to see, I am sure doesn't feel good to see the light on the other side. Good luck

babysitting!  It might also be important for them to take a class learning infant/child CPR as well as a class that helps find age appropriate games/play for the children.

Yes you still have to breathe for them.  \nCPR is like artificial heartbeat and breathing.  \nIf you are interested, maybe you should take the certification class.

You might be interested in joining th National Registry for CPR.  www.nrcpr.org  This is an organization affiliated with the American Heart Assoc.\n\nThere is a link that prints out various forms for....whatever.  Try the link and scroll down to Code Blue critique form.\n\nwww.state.sc.us/dmh/dmhforms.\n\nIf this link doesn't work, put this title in a search engine  SCDMH Enterprise forms.

The American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) is a medical specialty society of physicians, surgeons, allied health professionals, and individuals with PhD degrees who specialize in diseases of the chest: pulmonology, cardiology, cardiovascular and cardiothoracic surgery, hypertension, critical care medicine, and related disciplines.\n\nThe ACCP creates a unique multidisciplinary approach to cardiopulmonary medicine where pulmonologists, cardiologists, thoracic surgeons, and others can come together at College events for an experience not available from other sources—examination of a topic from a perspective that encompasses all of the major specialties involved.

The signs are pale in the face, pain in the chest and some times shooting down the left arm, sweating, dizziness.\nWhat to do: 1st and most important is to get someone to call 911 if possible send 2 people together so one won't get scared and just leave. If by yourself you go make the call. Lay person down on their back and elevate their feet. Loosen any tight clothing,(tie, belt,) do nothing as long as the person can still breath and has a pulse and stay with person until EMT arrives. If person's heart stops start CPR until EMT shows.

The chance of getting AIDS is small from CPR because saliva doesn't transmit the disease, blood does. I would do CPR because I couldn't live with the guilt if I didnt, however, I would try to use a mouth shield or plastic if possible to prevent any illnesses.

Call your local chapter of the American Red Cross or American Heart Association to see if they sponsor any free activities. Our local ARC chapter has a free CPR Saturday, for example.

I know this is prob not the answer you are looking for.  I have been a CPR instructor for almost ten years now.  I keep up with journals from the American heart assoc. and the American health and safety inst. (just kidding about ashi all they do is copy aha, but i digress)  I have not heard, read, or seen anything about a 200 compression CPR.  i have heard studies about no rescue breaths, compression only CPR and it was found to be to existing for the rescuer.  the new standard is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.  This was found to be optimal in maintaining oxygenation of the blood ( the whole reason you are doing CPR)\n\nhope this was some sort of help..\n\naddendum,  200compression is continuous compression CPR or ccc.  it is being used in some parts of the country.  Normally it is in correlation with a commercial chest compression device (thumper) that mechanically does the chest compressions for you.  I will add more findings as my wife allows me on the pouter.

what on earth is rebreathing? holding your breath would lower your resp rate; rapid breathing would increase it. resp rate is the frequency of breath/min (usually per min if it's for a chart or something of the like)

Have to be able to at least walk fast - lifting and moving of patients is required - have to have the wind and stamina to pass a CPR course

ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation). It's a life support system that circulates the blood through an oxygenating system. It's similar to the heart-lung machine used during open heart surgery. ECMO has been used for treating patients with severe smoke inhalation, people with irreversible heart failure, and people in acute respiratory distress. It's a fairly advanced topic.

Yes, CPR is a core part of the EMT class.

S.O.S.\n\nThe international Morse code distress signal, S.O.S., is another "word" with a false acronymic origin. S.O.S. does not stand for Save Our Souls, Save Our Ship, Stop Other Signals, Sure Of Sinking, or any other phrase.\n\nS.O.S. was chosen as the universal distress signal by the International Radio Telegraph Convention of July 1908 because this combination of three dots followed by three dashes followed by three dots (...---...), was easy to send and easily recognized, especially since they were usually sent as a nine-character signal, which stood out against the background of three-character Morse Code letters. The letters themselves are meaningless.\n\nThe first recorded mention of the false acronymic origin is in reference to the Titanic sinking of 1912, which may account for its wide spread and endurance.
