1:32 and following: He pushes with his elbow bending in over and over ... don't tell me, that this is correct procedure ... good video ... though exchange the material with someone keeping the elbows straightened, please ...

@abksharma Use your face to do the compressions.

@abksharma proper hand position (slightly below nipples, center in between breasts) will break the sternum, no ribs should break. As for the double D titties, place the heel of your hand between the breasts. In that situation its very uncomfortable.

At what point does CPR become necromancy?

@12303RONALDO nope . they say we waste a lot of time in checking breathing and pulse.this valuable time can be used to do chest compressions,which will help us to pump enough blood to brain till help arrives. there was a study, "death by hyperventilation' in that it was proved , giving more breaths can increase pressure inside the chest there by not allowing the heart to beat even if it start working . . enough oxygen will be there inside the blood which will last for few minutes .
