I don't think so. Why would they give out booklets on first aid
if that was the case?
I have something to ask the medics here - is it possible for 2
people to perform CPR at once, with one supplying the heart massage
and the other providing air continuously?
As far as I can tell..... you shouldn't apply CPR if you're not
properly trained in it.
Improperly performed, CPR can lead to further complications. For
one thing, performing CPR while the heart is actually pumping on
its own can mess up its rhythm further. Once the heart restarts,
you have to stop chest compressions immediately.An untrained person
may not know that.
Improper compressions can also lead to broken ribs and
puncturing of the liver by the xyphoid process.
It is possible for two (trained) people to perform CPR
simultaneously, and is in fact recommended since CPR can be a
really, really siong thing to do alone.
