Im sure I was taught 3 breaths 15 compressions when I last did a course.

Some courses are taught differently. The standard from WMAS is 30:2
Is there a gynaecology training video or breast cancer check instructional?
Yeah I was told it was something like 1 in 40000, but the figures give you an idea that CPR alone won't really save their lives, all your doing is keeping them viable until someone with a defibrilator turns up.isn't it 1 in 14,000 people actually survive having a heart attack and being brought back by CPR. ie to go home and live on rather than wake up in the hosp for 4 hours then die again.
Just out of interest, isn't it dangerous to attempt CPR if you're not not properly trained and qualified to do so?
Ok, on a slight tangent, I'm trying to find a song I can sing that is naturally at 100bpm (to keep compressions regular) that isn't horrifically inappropriate if I do it to a MoP. Any suggestions?

There was something in the paper about it months back I think, the Bee Gees one is a winner .

I didn't know you applied enough force to crack ribs
Seriously though that is a clever way of educating people (men ) about it. Great post.

I've got the be honest here. I didn't listen to a word he said.
I think the figure is around 5-10% for out-of-hospital arrests, provided effective CPR is started asap. For in-hospital arrests, it's closer to 3% (due to co-existing illness, and increased liklihood of non-shockable rhythms).Yeah I was told it was something like 1 in 40000, but the figures give you an idea that CPR alone won't really save their lives, all your doing is keeping them viable until someone with a defibrilator turns up...
Also, a question to all the others who have learnt CPR - when you practised on the dummies, did you feel really immersed into it? Hard to describe, but you just totally block out everything else, and are totally focused on performing CPR.I found it really surreal, even though it was just a dummy!
Is this for people that don't get defibrilated or do?I think the figure is around 5-10% for out-of-hospital arrests
