#cpr certification

Hey everyone! We’re really into swapping content (mostly our own, amateur stuff), doing roleplay, and meeting cool people who are into this vibe⚕️🩺

Ask someone to help you. Lie flat on your back on the floor and relax as much as possible. Place your hands behind your head so you can see your chest better. Take a couple of deep breaths to relax your ribs. Ask your partner to place their hands in the center of your sternum and begin performing chest compressions, starting at a depth of 2 centimeters. After 1 minute, the compression depth can be increased to 4 cm, but with each compression you should exhale to reduce excess pressure and protect the heart. This kind of cardiac massage can be performed for more than 10 minutes depending on preference. There will be no problems with the heart and it will not affect the rhythm in any way.

Derek: So, assessing the situation. Are they breathing?

Penelope: No, Derek. They are not breathing. And they have no arms or legs.

Derek: Babygirl, that’s not part of it—

Penelope: Where are they? You know what? If you come across somebody with no arms or legs do you bother resuscitating them? I mean, what kind of quality of life do you have there?

Emily *from across the room*: I would be fine living with no legs.

Penelope: How about no arms? No arms or legs is basically how you exist right now, Emily. You don’t do anything.

Derek: All right, focus, let’s get back to it. You’re losing him. *Penelope pumps frantically* Okay, too fast. You need to pump at a pace of a 100 beats per minute.

Penelope: Okay, how am I supposed to keep track of that. How many is that per hour?

JJ *from her spot next to Emily*: Pen, how’s that gonna help you?

Penelope: I can divide and then count to it.

JJ: Right.

Derek: Okay. Well, a good trick is to pump to the tune of ‘Staying Alive’ by the Bee Gees. Do you know that song?

Penelope: Oh, yes, I love that song! *clears throat, begins to sing* First I was afraid, I was petrified.
