On my last first aid course two years ago we were told if we didn't fancy, or couldn't due to injury, carry out mouth to mouth, then don't bother. The chest compressions shift enough air. Takes a little while for these things to perculate!

I couldn't get past the title of this thread cos all I saw was - "Vinnie Jones hard and fast"

:eek: :getmecoat:

 

Read it on BBC News website this morning - and was laughing at the recommendation to do it to the BeeGee's "Stayin' Alive"

Does that mean you then get a doctor doing "Tragedy" if it doesn't work?

I've have this theory that every other blue moon, someone manages to resuscitate using cpr and whatever they did becomes the new standard. So, if someone was brought back by dancing a jig on their chest, that would become the new prescribed method. Truth is, unless it's a child, then the best cpr can do is keep the blood flowing until a defribrillator is used.

I had some training from the head of trauma at the local A&E. I asked about the compression only methods, and he said, "Yes it works, but if you can do the full CPR then it works better"

That Vinnie Jones Vid is great BUT..

He isn't doing the CPR to the beat of the music. Also, the beat of Stayin Alive is more like once a second, not the twice he recommentds

Hmmm

I dont have much to do today so I have just gone back to a vid of Staying Alive and counted the bpm... Not nearly 103

The Great Oracle, Google, claims 103-104. The vid wasn't of a Leonard Cohen cover version was it? ;)
