This is great! Very informative video.
thank you for this help. wow easy to follow
Really helpful, thank you madam
Tyy
what if the patient isn't choking and goes unconscious, do you still need to do CPR?
(Please read more)
Yes BUT, only if they're not breathing or are only gasping. (Not breathing normally.)
If they are breathing it'd be wise to call emergency services , still...
And put their head between their knees or their feet up and extended on a object or whatever you can use really .... [You can even use yourself--.]
If it's more convenient you can also place the person on their left/right side as shown in this video. The left is better. It is called the recovery position or lateral recovery position.
You can do this during,before,after the person becomes unconscious
It'd be preferred to do it during/before they become unconscious
I have my test coming up, do you have to lay them on the floor or can you lay them in the bed?
Hello, you lay them in a recovery position, which would be on the floor. Thank you for tuning in💙
