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.
Or do a 2-man rescue and one pumps the chest and the other administers rescue breaths, or more likely just continues blowing constant air to try to get some positive pressure in the airway to fill the lungs.
The real question here i think is what would cause a giraffe to lose a pulse that wouldn’t already likely be it’s cause of death regardless?
Reminds me of boxed software, too. You check the compatibility, the features that included one must-have new feature. Buy it and discover what vaporware is. It started me on the ethics of pirating, finding out if it actually works, and then, and only then, buying a real copy. I donate to developers on Linux, now.
I mean, it really only started to take off with eDonkey. napster was still very slow and so much malware disguised as mp3 files.
You didn’t even have to thing about storage solutions. Even if i had my ISDN Connection bundled ( no phone free for calla then ), the speed was max 128 Kbps.
Sorry, i suddenly remembered these details, from a long long time ago.
50% were laid off. This after Songtradr had commited to keep the Bandcamp experience the same.
The union was for nothing. Epic just sold, before any agreement wss made and again a few made a lot, while employees must endure whatever comes.
This fucking sucks big time.
The Internet as we knew it, is fading away and we just can hope that our privacy and an open internet are not only things we remember fondly, in a few years.
I just got to college in 2000 and had highspeed Napster. From there I found some sketch Russian site I could get music from for a few years in the early 2000s but there was also a huge used CD store in my college town with reasonable prices I used to frequent. Now days if I want to find a bunch of new music I dont know, Usenet for the win. But honestly most of the stuff I like is on bandcamp usually and I will go buy the bands I find on use net. My best discovery has been Brant Bjork (he played drums in Kyuss but makes chill ass rock) and PallBearer and Arkansas doom band that is pretty great. I have since purchased their catalogue on Vinyl, mostly on band camp because it is hard to find in stores.
In the 2000s i was always looking for music and found a Forum from Ukraine called FunkySouls that covered all new releases and was active until a few days after Russia invaded. There were some threads with excellent taste and i really miss those guys.
After i found that Moon Wiring Club was on Bandcamp, i took a look around and found a lot of good music. When i buy something, it’s usually from Bandcamp.
I saw Kyuss live a loong time ago, thanks for the tip. This made me think of Boris’ new EP “me when the when i”. They were always a tad too experimental for me to keep them on repeat. Their newest album though, is a very very smooth release - chill ass rock describes it perfectly.
I also stumbled on the label subsist on Bandcamp some time ago and have gotten almost all releases and eagerly waiting for new releases. Excellent raw electronics.
Oh, they weren’t mp3 files. Iirc it was stuff like darude-sandstorm-live-mp3.exe or eminem-without-me-mp3.exe.
It wasn’t Napster’s fault, ISDN at the time was what most people had. 1 internet + 1 phone line. You got online with max 68 Kbps. Bundling both lines got you 128 Kbps, then the phone line would be obviously busy giving you more speed, rendering the phone unusable.
Those were fun times in households with more than 1 member.
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.
If they choked on something, I doubt they have enough space in their lungs to force it out. Clearing the obstructed airway should be the priority first perhaps by running your hands along the neck, then chest compressions to restart the heart and get blood moving oxygen around.
last time (~ half year ago) they thaught me this they said chest compression is more than enough. there should be enough oxygen in the lungs and blood till professional help arrives, and as you said most of the time airway is blocked in these situations
also most people are extremely unconfortable to blow air through someones nose/mouth, so it incrreases the number of people that are willing to help
Just fyi, chest compressions cannot restart a heart, they can keep blood flowing until an AKG can get it into a normal heartbeat. If the heart is completely stopped, neither compressions or an AKG can do anything.
