theres differences between rescue breaths and CPR

That picture shows Rescue breaths done wrong (because he is not covering the Nasal)
But the purpose being, is to clear the throat

I dont know if it is CPR the fire fighter is trying to do in procedure but being a certified lifegaurd, Cpr cracks ribs if done horribly wrong, i asked my instructor what happens if it happens, he said keep proceeding, your saving a persons life, purpose outweighs consequence

anyways props to anyone that tries to save another life

cracking ribs is normal if CPR is done right, from what I've heard. breaking the zyphoid (sp) process and puncturing heart/lungs is what happens if CPR is done wrong. And I thought rescue breaths were part of CPR? but i could be wrong, never performed CPR on anything but the rescue dummy, hope I never have to...

You do CPR if their heart isn't beating, and rescue breaths are a part of cpr.

But if their heart is beating and they are not breathing, then you just do rescue breaths.

As an Eagle Scout, I should know my CPR and rescue breathing. :cool:

Anyways, I heard that CPR is supposed to, and expected, to break ribs. Since the point where you have your compressions are at a very weak point in the ribs. Either way, if you survive, than you'd be glad it was your ribs than your life.

Anyways, I would like to see this pic.
