Great thread!!!! Another health care provider here. Have done a lot of CPR. It doesn't always work...true...the key is making sure there is or isn't a pulse. Don't forget to check. If there isn't a pulse....DO IT. A stopped heart beat is about as harmful as it gets.
Breaking ribs? gosh yes it happens. Don't worry. Just do it. In the malls and many public places they have AED devices....simple to use. Keep a watchful eye when you roam around and you can spot them. They are simple to use...tells you everything to do.
Saving a life is what CPR is about. If you don't act...you can't help save.
The red cross offers hundreds of classes at church, schools, employment places...everywhere.
Learn CPR...save a life!!!!!!!
