CPR!

Was smooching a dummy y'day morning, ahahah...no juicy pics though. The Management Committee of my EC organised a talk and demonstration by the Civil Defence on CPR and the use of the fire extinguisher and i got to try CPR on a dummy! Well it was a female dummy and i had probably "killed" her by miscounting the number of pumps i gave to her heart (supposed to be 30 consecutive times in 1 set) and grabbing her throat. Gosh...wonder how i would react in a real life situation under stress and with so many steps to remember! Some important pointers:-
- Do not administer CPR unless the person is both without a pulse and is not breathing
- Before administering CPR check to ensure that the airways are clear i.e. no foreign objects lodged in the throat, remove any with your index finger
- 995 is for both fire engine and ambulance services - need to specify that ambulance services are needed
=D Was pretty happy that i finally got to learn this life-saving skill!
