Another Fan Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I took a class at work that went over all the techniques of it. Still don’t know in a real life situation how I’d manage

KD in CA Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I did when I was a lifeguard 30 years ago. But I heard the whole 15-2 thing is now out of date.

It keeps changing. 15-2, 30-2, etc. I get trained on it every year. In the end. 30-2 is solid and won’t steer you wrong. But unless your doing it for a family member or something like that, I’m not putting my mouth on any stranger. So chest compressions will work just fine.

I also read an article recently that Emergency Dogs are being trained to do CPR. The dog just jumps up and down on the victims chest, mimicking a chest compression.

Where I’m at, we do the breaths but we have ambu-bags. We also have AEDs where it tells you exactly what to do and when to do it. I've done it before. For about 2+ hours until medical arrived. It wasn’t fun and anyone can tell you the victim isn’t coming back 2 hours in.

Yeah, I've heard the same thing about that it's only chest compressions. Funny story, my uncle was a cardiologist. I worked in his office for a brief period of time (helping clean up accounts) when he had someone come in to do a class on CPR for his employees. As they were asking questions, I was the only person in the office able to answer the questions correctly. I felt as though SOMEONE in a cardiology office probably should have had some idea on how to perform CPR.

eball Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Took a class at work a couple of years ago, and they said the mouth-to-mouth thing is no longer recommended. It's all about manually keeping that heart pumping blood for as long as possible. 1

I know some Bills fans here in Atlanta, ones that I went to the playoff game in Jax, were talking about going to the Charger game. I'm not sure. If it's not the home opener, the closest away game would be Miami which isn't that close.

I dunno dude..just did a quick check on Southwest ATL-BWI...roundtrip less than $200, nonstop. 1:30 minutes each way. Gas at $3.00/gal, Miami probably $75 in gas one way and 9 hours. Baltimore be your much better option...but sure tickets much more expensive in Baltimore too. BTW, CPR is recommended two ways now Trained--30-2 ratio Untrained--Chest compressions only..even radio ads for this now. Basically saying pump the middle of the chest if you don't know what to do...that is better than nothing! 1
teef Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) we have to take a refresher course every 2 years, and you're all right...it seems to change. the most recent one had us giving the patients breaths again, but as any instructor will mention...if you don't know what to do, just keep giving chest compressions. what i really want to do is give the AED unit a whirl. not in a real life emergency, but on a drunk friend or something.
