Yes I would do CPR, and I have.

I always carry a simple mask and gloves in case of need. You may well be unsuccessful, but the feeling of guilt if you couldn't even try is overwhelming.

Unfortunately, the situation in the USA for CPR, or indeed any first aid, may not be that clear. As the article shows they have good samaritan laws, but are they of any use when people in that country seem to resort to litigation even quicker than us Brits can threaten to get a solicitor? Bear in mind too that if someone needs CPR, they are at that time dead. Thus any intervention, done in best faith, is not going to make matters worse. One would expect a "nurse" to have CPR training, and one therefore wonders in that instance whether the nurse will be negligent for not attempting CPR.
