...even for the most conditioned athletes. If you haven’t taken CPR training, now’s a good time to think about it.

Probably would be good to do a refresher on CPR. Interestingly, in my work first aid training, they had you open the airway and do chest compressions, but skipped the mouth-to-mouth. Been meaning to look into whether that’s because it’s not effective, because it weirds people out to the point they don’t do anything, or just because the training was strange.
Also should learn how to use an AED, since those seem to be much more common these days.

Mouth-to-mouth had been dropped because it wasn’t found to be particular effective in pre hospital settings vs. not doing it.
You should totally do a refresher class. In terms of AED’s, they’re basically an exercise in following directions. They literally talk you through what to do.

Took a cardio- physiology class at UofA from a researcher that was first developing the no rescue breaths approach to CPR back in ‘08. Her findings then was that it increased the number of people willing to give CPR, and that supplying the brain with fresh blood outweighed the need to keep filling the lungs with 02. Prescribed methods have changed a bit since then, so the consensus may be a bit different now.

Ye’, it used to be check your A, B, C’s. Airway, breathing, circulation.
They dropped checking for a pulse some time ago, then with CPR they dropped the mouth to mouth.
I was an ambulance tech for eight+ years and I still always do the full ABC and full CPR.
First aid is taught in many schools in the U.K. with it being made compulsory in the National Curriculum this year in schools.
The U.S. promot es it slightly differently to the U.K. and somewhat differently again in Australia.

Reminder that CPR is most effective when a person first drops.
Currently 0/1 on being successful with CPR.

The second trumpet player in my former orchestra was a full-time nurse in the cardiac ICU at a Dallas hospital. We talked about CPR, and he said that in order to do it effectively it’s a pretty violent process, and cracked ribs are not uncommon. You see people on TV doing these little baby compressions, but that’s just not going to cut it.

That’s one hell of an upper (?) body injury to add to the next report. But glad he seems to be OK, hope it was just some weird dehydration/flu kind of thing rather than something more dire.
