@John4Trimmings I'd rather have them breathing and circulating blood than not performing CPR because they may fracture their xyphoid
-
I find these very helpfull
-
really really good! very enlightening
-
can't help but fear the xiphoid process being fractured by accident.
-
@tapibaho use your fingers to scoop out what you can an roll them over so they don't choke on it.
-
just a question- I know i should probably already know this- and my best guess is log roll the patient but i'm not sure I could do that if alone without equipment- so here goes- what is the best course of action for a suspected spinal injury when vomit is seen in the mouth without suction equipment available?
-
@tapibaho turn them on their side
-
Gleof06 it depends if you are civilian doing the CPR there are no contadictions CPR is the patients last resort whatever you have to do, do it. But if you are a medical trained person like emt or medic the only contradiction is if the victim has a dnr and then you can't. If any type of object Is in there chest and obstructs CPR remove it.

The CPR video i've seen, thanks

@tapibaho place the person to the side ,to prevent aspiration !!!
I lost a friend yesterday. He drowned and when they picked him out he had stopped breathing with his pulse slowing down, the guys accompanying him panicked and were more focused on getting him to a hospital rather than giving him a cpr, how i wish they had the presence of mind to do just that.

i am so sorry that happened, shock affects people differently and when presented with a situation, people react as best they can, sometimes with fatal results. Just two breathes and things might have been different, but we dont live in a world of its and buts. please look after yourself and monitor yourself for PTSS and so on. Once again i am so sorry for your loss, but remember to spread the word about first aid and its importance . it can make a difference
