If you gave someone a chance by doing CPR I can't think there'd be any complaints from anyone if you did 7/1 15/2 or 30/2 or what ever you were last taught.

everyones seen it on tv so i like to think they would have a go if i ever needed it no matter how they did it

Alot changed since I last did all this stuff

I was taught 7/1 and tilt head back and remove false teeth ect.

Nowdays iirc, it leave the teeth in ( keeps the form of the mouth ) and don't move the neck

Actually there have been.  You can be sued for providing incorrect or damaging CPR if you are a health care professional but if you are joe public you are protected by the good samaritan act legislation.  Can't remember the ins and outs, been a while since I physio'd but my training included guidance on never admitting you were a health care professional or first aider.  Sad really.

Pretty sure my training last june was 2 initial breaths, 15 compressions and 2 breaths etc.

this method will keep them alive the advert does say at the end if you are a first aider you must still give two breaths.

You do leave the teeth in or you can't form a lip seal but you need to tilt the head back to check and open the airway.

I suppose this is a technique that someone who like myself is untrained in first aid could attempt and does more good than just running round like a headless chicken waiting for the emergency services to arrive.

[the alarming man]

you can in actual fact still be charged with gbh if you are joe public attempting cpr (there was a case a little while ago where the cps decided it was'nt in the public intrest to go ahead with the charge...then the agrieved party started a private prosecution and walked away with a substational amount they argued due too somone having a go?...this caused brain damage and house etc had to be adapted).
Like nitro i was not trained to just pump on someone chest frantically whilst humming a tune how bloody ludicrous...it goes against how i was trained and tbh when i see it this morning i would have thought it very good april 1 st gag

thats the way we were trained...but as a paramedic turning up on blue lights...you could'nt really deny being a health care professional...mind you some of the guys i worked with i did wonder sometimes???

[Ken T]

I wonder if its to get Joe Public to actually do something, instead of walking past, quickly, saying " nothing to do with me just keep going, soon be out of sight". 

And another person dies needlessly. OK there may be compo claims but the person is still alive.
