i will be sick by tomorrow

Tired as shit today. I got woken up at 3am or something by the sound of some sort of heavy machinery out on the street, and a yellow flashing light. I didn't bother getting up to see what it was all about, but I never got back to sleep.

This morning I get up, and the vacant block one door down across the street now has a house on it. Like, a fully built house. It arrived on the back of a huge truck at bullshit o'clock this morning

so i became an accredited resuscitator this week (no i have no idea what it's really called). the current regimen is 30 compressions to 2 breaths. the assessor didn't seem to notice that i was doing 32 compressions to 2 breaths.

no idea where that weird impulse came from

first you master the techniques then you add your own flavor to it. this is the sign of a master resuscitator

I was trained as a med slouch in the army, I was taught 15 to 2, and I remember how surprised I was when the instructor said "but that pretty much changes every year". About four years later I went on the same course because they needed a certified cpr dude at work. That time it was 20 to 2!

Btw at least over here it expires every five years or so.

Yeah well the main purpose of resuscitation is to maintain perfusion to the brain. You don't even start with breaths anymore, just get right on the chest and start compressing.

It isn't fun, hopefully you never have to do it.

Which reminds me that an ambulance driver said that too, and added that mouth-to-mouth is strictly a supportive measure, and that the 'blow into his mouth then he coughs up water and immediately wakes up' only happens in movies. So we shouldn't expect to see any immediate 'results', as it were.

Indeed. Always thought that, bet I might even have gotten a bit shaky if things got real. But having spent the last ten years in solitary confinement I tend not to stress it too much

Well you aren't likely gonna bring someone back from the dead with chest compressions. Again, the purpose is to maintain perfusion until you can get the paddles on and shock that heart back into rhythm and/or administer epinephrine.

Really it's never good when someone goes into cardiac or respiratory arrest. Survival rates even with CPR, aren't that great.
