Comment on Risks of CPR

The person is dead if you don’t do something. You cannot fuck their day up any worse than it already is.
Don’t think about it, just act!
- Make sure that you are safe.
- Get emergency services on the phone.
- Get going with 30:2 at 100-120 BPM.
- Get some help from the people around you. Send someone for an AED.
You can think about it later.

And to make things clear for people who don’t know it’s 30 compressions, 2 blows of air. For very young children it’s faster though, 15:1.

Depends on the material, I have to teach 30:2 so that people don’t freeze. There’s a special course for people who are responsible for children, they learn a different algorithm, but I haven’t taught that course, so I’d have to read up on it. I believe that it’s still 30:2, but with 5 blows initially.
So I guess, just do 30:2 and don’t worry about the age part.

When I was taking my drivers exam we were taught this in first aid. Am quite surprised other countries don’t have this. We have a somewhat short lecture of 2h and we have to pass written and practical exam in first aid. It’s not huge amount of knowledge but it’s better than nothing. We are taught to recognize burns, lacerations, different type of bleeding, CPR and few other things.

Careful dealing in absolutes there, a Danish drivers license requires an 8hr first aid course.

Depends on who you are listening to. I just checked with the mandated lesson plan (“Basal førstehjælp til børn” or “Basic first aid for children”, page 6 and 7)I have to adhere to when teaching. Among other things, the main differences are:
