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.

    Yeah, I meant more countries, not all of the other.

    Here in Amuricastan, we don’t need no stinking class to learn how to drive a 3000 pound death missile. A signature, a 70% on a multiple-choice exam, and a cursory vision check (can you see through your eyes) is all we need for our FREEDUM MACHINES. First aid is for sissies.

    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:
    
    5 blows, then 30:2 at 100-120 BPM.
    
    If you’re alone, then you do 1 min of CPR before calling emergency services.

    I’m a CNA in a hospital, our guidelines are always call for help first, then start 15:2 CPR.
