If a 30-50yr. male stranger went into cardiac arrest, assuming you knew CPR, would you put your mouth on him?

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.

I don't think the word "strangers" should even come into play.  They're fellow human beings, with a right to live.\n\nI can't honestly say that throwing myself on it would be the first option to even come to mind, but for the sake of the question, we'll say it does.\n\nYes, I would throw myself on it in an attempt to save as many people in the room as possible.  Yes, some of them will likely be hurt anyway, and some of them will likely end up with bits of me all over them.  But they'd probably be alive, and that would be the major objective.\n\nLike Spock said, "the good of the one or the good of the many?"\n\nWhy should all of us die when there is a possibility that only one would have to?  There is no reason (or time, in that case, to think of one) why that one shouldn't be me.\n\nThere would be no glory in it, at least that the dead one would be around to revel in, so it comes down to being a moral decision.  \n\nDo you value human life?\n\nI do.

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 girl definitely needs mouth to mouth resuscitation.  Any red-blooded male could tell that!  Give it to her and hope she doesn't need chest compressions as well.  Hope all goes well.

What are you talking about?  I love asking advice for what to do in the event of a heart attack from anyone I can, especially strangers.  They've never let me down.

I'd be more worried that you think cutting someone's throat is appropriate.  If that's how you feel, please get help.  And don't give your opinion to other people, it could mess them up, too.

Would I voluntarily give my life if it meant he would live, of course.He would do the same. I woudnt even be able to live a good life knowing that I knowingly did not save him from harm.

Acknowledge the person's response and listen to what he or she has to say.  You indicated he or she may be dying, so this is not the time to argue, but to listen.  He or she may have learned some valuable lessons and willing to share with you.

As sad as this sounds, it would really depend on the situation.  \n\nIf it was a kid or an old lady or someone I knew, then sure, I would do whatever I can.\n\nIf it's midnight and I'm walking around alone in a rough part of town and I see a 6'10'' 250 lb. drunk guy covered in tattoos passed out on the ground I wouldn't even get near him.  I'd just call the police on my cell and report what I saw but not after walking a block or so away first.

Unconscious.  If he is up and talking he would know if , if he was hit.  This sounds like a BS question.

Hold your breath for 30-45 seconds.

Make sure he or she is breathing and call 911. If the weather is cold, I would also cover the person.

Go for it.  If he is stupid enough.  He could die from that.

Yes I'd kiss him.   Doesn't everyone have fantasies?  So he's older -- it's just a screen kiss Amanda was asked about. \n\nAnd Yes again, I would kiss an older guy -- why not -- they have feelings too -- don't you kiss your grandfather?  I know that's not what you meant, but still . . . a kiss is a kiss.

I accidentally dialed 411 instead of 911 when my father was having a major heart attack and that probably wasted some precious time in getting the ambulance to him. I also didn't know CPR and he ended up dying. I'll never forgive myself for that because it may have saved him.

You sure have a strange avatar for a middle age man.\n\n Let's see, you have a defibrillator that is firing. Could it be that it's treating bad heart rhythms like it's designed for?
