First aid should be mandatory for schools to teach, from simple cuts, bruises, and fractures, to the Heimlich maneuver and cpr instead of teching us FREAKIN SQUATS.

[@derrickw3021]

And a high school graduation requirement .

[@Desmodontinae100]

You know - squats can prevent you from ever being in need of CPR.

I know damn well that I learned CPR from the show on Netflix “The Office” and it also had a scene that you do CPR with the “Stayin Alive” song!

I saved my friends life in the 5th grade when she was chocking on a Starburst. I didn't even know CPR at the time. 😐😇

[@marta-op6ic]

If you don't know CPR and you do it, it can be dangerous to the person you are doing it on

[@valetod0]

+marta smith yeah but at that time I was in health class 😂

[@marta-op6ic]

I remember choking on nodles once it was really bad I thought I was going to die until I threw up on the table in the middle of the restaurant people were looking at me in disgust and i was crying afterwards and went to the bathroom then home

[@alisontunnicliff6718]

My dad saved me when he found me after I'd had a seizure in the bathtub. Good for this girl that she is teaching others how to do CPR.

[@elizabethcarrie7499]

That girl should be given an award she is a hero.

[@MsSBVideos]

"Stayin' Alive!" That kid in the fox T-shirt with the glasses looks like one of my best buddies! Good work for this class. All schools should teach this.

[@googlesuxbigtime1227]

*WOW!* She is amazing. Even with the knowledge, you wouldn't expect the confidence to act so quickly. Especially when it is a friend. Most kids would panic and looked to an adult to save him. My hat is off to this girl. I'm glad she is pushing others to learn. If every adult had basic emergency first aid. So many lives could be saved every year. I learned cpr at 10, during summer camp too. In the 40+ years since, thankfully I've never had to use that training.

[@Annesglitter]

That’s good!

[@supposedly1-2]

same at my school but only the class with the principals daughter got their cards and certificates showing they knew cpr the rest of us kept asking but never got them. if you weren't popular you didn't need to know cpr i guess.

[@kariherna917]

staying alive is a very ironic song for cpr

[@andybee1381]

No it's the perfect song

[@andybee1381]

An ironic song would be Another One Bites the Dust.

[@saraneva1922]

Irony is the exact opposite. Like for example if you were downhill skiing (I live by a mountain. forgive me) and wiped out on a course called Wipeout that wouldn't be ironic. If you wipe out on a course called You Wont Wipe Out that would be ironic

Chest Compressions, But No Mouth-To-Mouth?

[@christianmueller7352]

Doing some thing is better than nothing. People sometimes don't want to do mouth to mouth due to infections,etc. Look up aha American heart association

[@Desmodontinae100]

That actually is the latest recommendation for laymen. The oxygen level in your blood usually is high enough to be sufficient for up to ten minutes, or even longer. Thus it is not necessary to interrupt the blood circulation by interrupting CPR to give someone mouth to mouth.

[@bluefan84]

Desmodontinae100 This is absolutely correct. The new recommendations have nothing to do with risk of infection, but rather the fact that if you only have one person performing CPR, it is more critical to keep the heart pumping until help arrives than it is to restore breathing. So we are no longer supposed to stop chest compressions in order to give breaths.

[@westonhuffman7908]

Well, I guess it's too bad that I've never had an opportunity to blow glass! LOL

[@oliviapetrowski4553]

Theory Time! “Stayin’ Alive” is a song to the beat of the compressions in CPR. CPR keeps you stayin’ alive. Maybe they did that song to teach you about CPR?

[@charleybleh]

I almost drowned when I was 3. I almost blacked out until someone just pulled me out. I ask everyone about it today and no one remembers. Of course only I remember because I was the one who experienced it. I'm pretty sure it was a stranger who pulled me out because I didn't tell anyone about it.

[@SpecialBlanket]

CPR in school is legit. I saved two people's lives at age 22 bc I learned rescue breathing in elementary school. I was at a kickback and a couple OD'd at the same time (bad batch I guess? I don't know, I wasn't using it). Everyone else freaked out and ran away bc they didn't want to be there if the cops came. I was also scared to call 911 because it was the home of the people who were OD'ing and I didn't want them to get arrested for possession. But I managed to revive one before the other while alternating between them (it was scary, they were gurgling and turning blue and shit-- I remembered the girl was hypoglycemic which makes people OD more easily so I poured a tiny bit of soda down her throat too which was dubiously wise but I decided to roll the dice, not sure if that's why she revived), then she helped me revive the bf.

[@Sarah-vh2gi]

For some reason this reminds me at camp when my friend got stuck in a chair and I had to grab her my other friend grabbed the chair and we pulled

[@MasonHatfieldLogorrhea]

Just wondering but isn't it recommended that laymen not check for pulse, as the time needed to actually find a palpable pulse is time not actually administering compressions?

[@SporkPlays212]

Mason Hatfield no check for breathing (chest rising and falling, breath sounds and feeling the breath)

[@vincentperdikou8723]

I learned it when I was 6

[@AngelA-fl5hk]

Admirable. However if someone is severely choking or gagging: tell them to touch their toes while standing or resting beside a stabilized chair, wall, or vehicle, etc. (to basically do a safe handstand, to allow for gravity to pull the morsel out, if it’s not water they are choking on). Also use the derma roller technique BEFORE you ever get into a situation on that causes your mouth to be closed such as chewing, or if you have mucus or a cold. If you are feeding someone senior or in a wheelchair OR INFANT, remember, they must be SITTING UPRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is IMPOSSIBLE TO CHEW OR REGAIN STABILITY OF ONES THROAT WHILE LAYING ON ANY BACKSIDE!!!!!!! DUMMIES ARE OKAY.... but rest them VERTICALLY. In my opinion: DONT TOUCH ANYONE OF THEY ARE GAGGING OR CHOKING! Just give them space!!!!!
