Another one bites the dust

USC dental class of 2015 is now CPR certified!

1) Check for response (a sleeping person would not appreciate being woken up by chest compressions!)

2) begin chest compressions: place heel of one hand on the lower half of the sternum and put other hand on top, lock elbows and start compression at the rate of 100 beats per minute.

     Q: how do you know you are going 100 beats per minute?
     A: you can do your chest compressions to the song staying alive or another one bites the dust!    
     if you are going to sing out loud you should probably sing the first option

3) Open the air way by tilting the head back and lifting the chin.  Pinch of the nose and cover their mouth with yours. The kissy lips dont work here! make a friend!

4) check pulse from coratid artery on the neck!

******if there is only one rescuer perform 5 series of 30 compressions then two breaths. If there are more than one rescuer perform 5 series of 15 compressions to two breaths.

     Q: Can't you break something by performing chest compressions?
     A: Yes you can break ribs and puncture lungs. Its okay cause the other options is death. Plus those
     things can be fixed but that's if they are survive!

     Q: But what if I perform CPR wrong?
     A: Anyone who doesn't have a pulse and is not breathing is dead. He can't get any deader. So there
     is no such thing as bad CPR.
