(Iirc) It's actually reccommended not to do mouth-to-mouth because you'll probably do more damage than help.

I think it's not so much harm as it is not as effective as the compressions. When I took CPR the irradiated many times that compression is the place to be when performing CPR.

Irradiation during CPR course sounds brutal. Were you guys constantly under an x-ray?

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I hate autocorrect so much sometimes lol

It is easy for you to over inflate someone's lungs when you are doing cpr. Especially if you are larger than them.

Just got my certificate for first aid training and this is not true. It has changed a few times but atm mouth to mouth IS recommended. But if you can only do one then stick to compressions.

[-] Pinklink@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Depends on the situation. Coughing/choking/asphyxiating: no do not do mouth. Chest compressions and back blows. No consciousness and no heart beat: chest compressions and rescue breathes.

Of course do not do anything you are not trained in. However, if no one else is, your even if your cert has lapsed, good Samaritan laws are pretty lenient
