So help me, I worked as a lifeguard this summer and my manager comes in one day and asks me how I would perform cpr on a giraffe and showed me this image.
It was posted on the wall of our break room. Nobody could provide a solid answer.
Chest compressions >> new air
Get a second person to help on breathing
Get a third to make trading roles easier.
Imagine it waking up and it slithering that tongue down into your stomach.
No thanks, I’m good
I double dare you
Obviously you should be doing compressions only on a giraffe.
Look at how far the blood has to go to get to the brain, you can’t afford the time do to rescue breaths.
Plus consider how far the lungs are away from the mouth and how large they are. There’s no way your 2 puny exhales have enough pressure to get there, let alone inflate the lungs enough to oxygenate anything.
No, it’s abundantly clear you need to do compressions only until someone gets the giraffine AED.
Adding yet another PSA to these comments that it is no longer recommended to pause chest compressions while doing cpr. You should exclusively be doing chest compressions until professional help arrives.
Adding a PSA to state that you shouldn’t take medical advice from random people on the Internet.
If you are trained in CPR, follow your training. If your certification has expired you should re-up it. There are legal reasons some training says certain things in different areas and following your training will protect you even if you go to a place with different laws.
That settles it: I’m just not in good enough shape to be a zookeeper. I think I’ll be a baseball player in stead.
Why would you be doing cpr on a giraffe instead of sleeping though?
This was just posted like a week ago. It’s starting to feel like another place I know.
