   But if I found someone who needed First Aid, on a moral ground, I would try and help them. out. But I guess you got to do what you think is right. So I would not leave anyone to die, I would help, but I would be careful while do so.

   If you go on the resussitation Council web site it has the updated procedures for CPR.

   Defibrilators are more common than you think,they have them at airports train stations some Police Forces have them and other big companies,so not such a ridiculous request.

   Worried that I will help someone and they might think they have a oppatunity to take me for every penny and take it, plus I have very little. Or they might stop screaming wolf, even there is no wolf there, only sheep.

   At the time I was just having a rant. I did learn first aid as I thought it was a good idea to know. But as soon as I did, people where going on saying that I would be held liadle for saving peoples lives, as I touched them and they can hold you liable for that and some people will take issue. That’s what I was told, also if there was a issue while saving their lives, people might take issue of me, even if they would of been dead if I had done nothing. Find it scary….

   one point comes to mind the AED dose not try to start the heart it stops the heart to allow it to start again in its normal rytham as in a person who the AED can shock the hear has not stoped it has can in to a strange rytham called fibulation best way to think of it is insted of beating noraly the heart is now like a bag of worms then AED (automated external defibulator) as the name say defibulates by stoping hte hear and then letting hte heart restart it like a reset button on your pc i guess

   ehhh……believe it or not guys this is how you do CPR, none of you are obviously qualified as you would know there is a reason for doin each and every one of these steps to ensure the person survives..it’s better to save someone than to scoff at the steps..>: (

   Umm… is it possible for a heart to beat while the person isn’t breathing? Like… i feel a bit apprehensive about slamming my fist into a persons chest at 100bpm if their heart is beating lol.

   Also, must the AED be used if the situation calls for CPR anyway?

    “gently shaking there shoulders” ?? it depends on the position of his head. I’d never do that as far as I’m not sure that the guy on the ground doesn’t have a.neckinjury or a headtrauma. if it comes to CPR maybe it doesn’t make difference anymore but at the very first moment I don’t know that

    adults tend to take in a breath before collapsing. which is why you go straight to compressions. This is different to children, then you give 5 rescue breaths, i’ve just done my pedatric first aid

    You have to check pulse before compressions

    negative,defibs is the only thing that will actually save a persons life.

    In an adult they are more likely to still have remaining oxygen in their blood, so you pump this oxygen around the body by doing 30 chest compressions, then give the two rescue breaths. However, this will change depending on the situation of the casualty.

    you would have been right upto 2005, things changed so this video is correct, its very good and acurate!

    here in the uk it is said that you only give rescue breaths if the casualty has sufferd from drowning as that would cause lack of oxagen otherwise it is cardiac arrest and in this cas you would do chest compressions first renewed my first aid cert with StJohns Ambulance 2 weeks ago.
    hope that helps

    Giving 2 breath is first before 30 chest compression.. as far as I know… but the video different from what I know… somebody tell me plz!! what is right??

23. ivaneaton Says:

    this is a very acurate video, and based upon protocols in the uk, at this time, it depicts a casualty being resuscitaed for sudden cardiac arrest! These guidelines are devised by the ERC european resus council.

24. ivaneaton Says:

    999 And 112 are the numbers used in this country! I understand 911 will also work, but i have never tried it!

25. lovecholek Says:

    999 is what you call in the U.K.
