He had a case where a man had a heart failure in the woods while hunting. His friends kept up CPR while waiting for the paramedics and the paramedics kept it up while the friends helped carry the stretcher through the woods to the ambulance. The man made a full recovery.Thomas Nissvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635793244352536541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531672008857745936.post-4695736604360161762013-09-04T08:08:57.702+02:002013-09-04T08:08:57.702+02:00Good for you and those around you.

That helped take the thoughts off what had happened. But it was difficult sleeping that night.<br />Happily they didn't see anything, and were taken care of by other parents during the incident.Joakim Strömhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051664911310509718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531672008857745936.post-68468695296268473672013-09-04T08:01:39.800+02:002013-09-04T08:01:39.800+02:00Emphasis now is on chest compression, but as we we...Emphasis now is on chest compression, but as we were three there wo did mouth-to-mouth too.

We talked it through then, which helped.

But it sounds like you did all you could. Apparently now they don't actually teach the breathing element of CPR and emphasise just getting the chest compression's right.
