    I'm pretty sure I got one in the first aid kit I got from St John's.
    Although with resuscitation you really wanna start straight away, unless someone else gets it for you.

    Just thought it might be handy to throw in your first aid kit.
    A few of us are putting together survival packs, just in case.
    but nice to know you have all bases covered

    Actually a must to have for your own protection...but you have to know how to use it properly to make it seal or you are wasting your time..would be good if even just basic first aid was taught in a later stage of school
    the one thing wrong with middle age ...is knowing you will grow out of it !

    In all honesty it is better to just keep on with the chest compressions then stopping to try and provide breaths.

    Compression's keep the blood flowing and by the time you have done 30 you have only started to build some blood pressure in the body so while you stop to ventilate you've just lost what you made.
    Along with this is that when a person is lying on their back they naturally get 16% of oxygen through gravity where as when you breath for them we only exhale 23%. Minimal gain.

    As a paramedic there is nothing better then turning up to some one in cardiac arrest and having good CPR done. Get your first aid cert guys!!

    Remember, in the center of the chest, push down about 1/3 the depth at a rate of 100 per minute. If you go to fast your not letting the heart fill up with blood to be able to pump. (I also see this alot) If you can do compression to the beat of staying alive by the beegees. Ah Ah Ah Ah staying alive.

    Great info meh, a paramedic mate told me something similar but not the bee gees timing bit - that's brilliant.
    Hope to never need to put into practice.
    Cheers
