So continuing on from my last post on first aid although slightly on a tangent, I just want to drop some points on CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Its actually easy and could well help YOU save a life one day.
Vinnie Jones gives a breakdown in the video above;
Call an ambulance!*
120 compressions a minute (to the tune of 'staying alive' by 'the beegees')
If you are out on your own without a ventilator, no breaths
Compress the sternum (the bony middle of the chest)
About 5cm deep or 2inches
Two hands with arms straight and locked, use your back
Allow chest to fully recoil after each compression
Dont stop until the ambulance arrives
*(and get someone if available to find a public defibrillator and follow the instructions on the case)
