I know how to use one! I learned it on the Dr Oz show

Very easy to use, but not something one wants to try and figure out in a real situation! I belive every one should take a BLS class. For CPR now they are tooting only giving compression--no breathes--about 100 compressions per minute-A good rhtyhym to go by is the Bee Gees song--staying alive. And both times i have given compressions on a real person, I had that song in my mind!! one want to go down 1.5 to 2" deep when giving ur compressions! One can read up online about how to USE AED, only takes minutes to learn, very simple, and once they the patches/pads are on, it tells ya what to do.

Can I do the staying alive dance while doing compressions??? Is that possible or will I need both hands?

[lgg 2]

Oh wow... did I EVER have that image racing around in my head a la the Bee Gees video but of course the machine was there

too, keeping up the beat.....

Hilarious...

Maybe if you danced on said person's chest to the beat of Staying Alive, that could work, no?

Before or after he had another session on reading bowel movements.

I think it would be more fun if it was the YMCA... at least get some audience participation out of it.

Excellent idea!!!

I enjoy that sort of humiliating public display of participation!

*NOT*

There is another song as well they recommend! Dancing around the pt prob would not be recommended,lol Proper CPR tires one out pretty quickly! Plus families by standers may take it the wrong way,lol

Know what's even funnier about your post? "Staying Alive" is 103 BPM, which is right around where CPR should be.

Edited to say: ACK! Sorry...FlamesRN beat me to it! Damned disco-lovin' nurses...

Well... I think I'll just tell them:

"K guys I can save the dude, but I have to sing while I do it, and I need ya'll to dance while I do it... it just helps take the stress off... okay? 2...3...4 OH you can tell by the way I use my walk I'm a woman's man.. no time to talk..."

POW! The man awakes and Nevada saves the day! All aboard the w00t train! w00t! w00t!!

In the interest of public safety, I know that I've tried to memorize the beat just in case:

Examining bowel movements or doing CPR?

Psh!

I was laid off a few weeks ago, hence all of my posting on here lately. The timing of being laid off NOW is horrible, since there's no real incentive to find another job when I know I'll be gone in 2-4 months. I feel guilty being on EI, but it just makes the most sense for me in my situation.

Oof...that sounded like a pull-down of the thread, didn't it?

Well...my wife is flying up for a brief 2.5 day visit tonight. Yay!

YMCA = The Village People.

The Village People = Ghey.

Ghey = Penchant for things in the area of the bowels.

Therefore, according to IR5...

YMCA = bowel examinations.

Aaaaaaah, that part never sunk in 'til now! While I sort of hate and envy you a bit for that, I feel like it's probably a good thing that I"m so busy with work at he moment -- I'm also hoping to be able to collect EI while I'm in the US for the first little while so -- that means I can't quit my jobs until a month or less before I leave so... .

Post up a storm, Wyatt -- you are hilarious!
