Comment on Whats The Difference Between Monophasic And Biphasic Defibrillators? by SAVAD CK

Biphasic defibrillators deliver currents in two directions. In one direction, the current moves from one defibrillator paddle to the other. Then, the current reverses. Although the exact reason is unknown, this multiple direction current lowers the threshold for successful defibrillation, saving more lives.

Comment on If What We Exhale Is Mostly Carbon Dioxide, How Is Giving Cpr To A Dying Person Helpful? by Håvard

When you do CPR you do two ventilations within 3 seconds which is substantially faster than normal breathing. By only having the air in your lungs for a short time the O2 content in the exhaled air (especially for the second ventilation) is likely higher than in normal breathing.

I heard in the Geneva Hospital in Switzerland, intensive care unit, that in China, in an ambulance, they did cpr for around 8 hours cos they were far away from the city, and the patient was awake all the time so they could see cpr was efficient.

Comment on Do You Have An Internal Defibrillator? Does It Hurt When It Shocks You? by jaxon

I am a 31 year old male with an I.C.D both my Cardiologist and my surgeon has stated to me when asked “is it going to hurt when it goes off”? (1) Said “Yes”! (2) Said “Hell Yes”!! so i really do not wish to have it go off in my chest lol of course I know the advantage off having it and in that situation I’m sure I will be kissing the scar on my chest.

Comment on What Is The Best Online Cpr Certification Class? by Chris Schlesinger

I agree with the above post. An on-line only CPR course is absurd. I’ve had many students say they took an on-line course and their employee rejected it. Employers should reject those type of “certifications”. You need to practice CPR skills on a manikin with an instructor.

If you get your CPR certification from the American Red Cross or American Heart Association, you’ll probably be fine. Here’s an article about choosing the right CPR course.

Comment on While Providing Two Person Cpr To Someone In Need Do You Rather Give Rescue Breaths Or Do Chest Compressions? by Chris Schlesinger

The rescue breaths require a lot less energy. Every two minutes you need to switch roles because the person doing the compressions is going to get tired.

Comment on How And How Often Do You Give Rescue Breaths During Cpr? by Chris Schlesinger

Whoa! Some bad information here.

1) The current ratio for compressions to breaths is 30 to 2.

2) Compressions are done on the chest, not the abdomen.

3) “Hands-only CPR” (compressions only) can be used when you witness an adult collapse and they aren’t responding and not breathing normally. Use breaths on a child or infant or if the victim is unresponsive because of an airway issue like drowning.

3) It’s critical that you use an AED (automated external defibrillator) if you’re doing CPR. CPR circulates oxygenated blood; an AED give the victim a shock that hopefully gets their heart beating normally again.
