For basic CPR training they are not teaching mouth to mouth anymore. They do teach that in the more advanced classes. The trainer was explaining, there is enough air in the blood to sustain someone, its the blood not circulating to the brain and body that is detrimental. So now they teach Chest Compression CPR only. She Showed them step by step instructions.
1. See if they are responsive. If not responsive proceed to the next CPR step.
2. Call 911
3. Lay them on their back.
4. Put the heal of your hand on the back of your other hand and lock your fingers.
5. Then put the heal of your hand middle of the chest, Locking your elbows and the shoulders should be directly over the body's chest.
6. Pushing at a rate of 100 compressions per minute.
The boys asked what if they get tired before the ambulance gets there. She said if they get fatigued they can pass it off to someone else. and keep doing that until rescue gets there.
She had the test dummies there for the boys to practice on. She also showed them how to work a AED (Automated External Defibrillator) These Defibrillators are all automatic. You open it up and it talks to you, telling you step by step instructions. If you were to do something wrong, it tells you that is wrong and how to do it again.
