Re: Would you perform CPR

I have several times, and I would again.

Knackering each time, but the object is to keep them alive until other help arrives.

When the advice changed to "ignore CPR and first call or go for help" it went against all the training I had been given over 20 years which said that braindeath happens in minutes without oxygen.

Then this new advice saying "compressions only, at a faster rate" really jarred with my years of training and use of CPR.
