The measurements in parentheses are millimeters (or close enough), so it looks like a shitty conversion from a non-US manufacturer that doesn’t use imperial.
36" is 914.4mm, so that’s what I’m basing this off of.
Yeah, I reckon somebody told the drafter Americans use inches and fractions and they did not clarify any more than that.
Our system is antiquated and kind of unwieldy, but it is a system. Power of two denominators for most things, which comes from a practice of just dividing shit in half, and decimal inches for surveyors and machinists.
Depends on the situation. Coughing/choking/asphyxiating: no do not do mouth. Chest compressions and back blows. No consciousness and no heart beat: chest compressions and rescue breathes.
Of course do not do anything you are not trained in. However, if no one else is, your even if your cert has lapsed, good Samaritan laws are pretty lenient
I think it’s not so much harm as it is not as effective as the compressions. When I took CPR the irradiated many times that compression is the place to be when performing CPR.
Just got my certificate for first aid training and this is not true. It has changed a few times but atm mouth to mouth IS recommended. But if you can only do one then stick to compressions.
It’s because there’s still enough oxygen in the blood to keep the brain alive for quite a while, so long as you can keep moving different blood to the brain. The brain is what kills you and what needs the most oxygen, so just cycling the blood that’s there will keep it from dying for quite a while.
The amount of people who have commented to you with completely incorrect reasons for why you only do compressions is something else. They’re all getting up voted, too.
But anyhow, for all of them: Single person cpr is non stop compressions at 100 to 120 bpm, non stop.
Two person cpr is the same rate, but two breaths every 30 compressions (2 every 15 for an infant).
Single person cpr is done that way now, because one person working by themselves can’t manage to effectively do both for very long at all before starting to screw up or move to slow, and the compressions are most important. It basically takes to long to stop, move up towards the head, tilt the head back, open the mouth, give two appropriate breaths while looking for chest rise, then reposition and go back to compressions.
Trust me when I say that you’ll be wore the heck out if you have to do 120 compressions a minute, almost hard enough to tear ribs from cartilage for more than a few minutes on your own. Adding in the breaths just isn’t something that has been shown to pay off.
I have to do CPR training once per year, and almost every time they’ve changed the recommendations. I don’t even remember the current recommendations now.
I got certified 6 months ago. They still (in the US) recommend 2 breaths every 30 compressions. For 2 people, one person manages the AED, and the other does CPR and you switch every 2 cycles, or whenever one person is too tired to continue.
Point is moot, you probably don’t have enough mass, or lung volume to compress the chest and inflate the lungs on a giraffe.
Yes, Swedish. Also, for unrelated reasons I reacted a bit triggered in my previous reply and my canadian girlfriend said that I was being an arrogant european, and I’m sorry about that.
MASSIVE Dwarven energy. This image is the closest you’re going to get to seeing a bunch of children of the mountain sitting in their tavern, discussing their metalworking (hobby cars and bikes) and drinking brews that could atomize a human liver with a single sip.
He was in one of the last episodes, thanking them for inspiring a generation of young minds to be interested in science. Enough people probably looked it up for it to effect the algorithm
Where the hell are you (broadly speaking), because I’m in Tennessee (70% Trump 2020) and the only Republicans I have to deal with are family and work related.
I live in rural Georgia and in general I can say almost all of the people around me are pretty conservative, my coworkers even casually say typical Republican shit like how it’s sooo absurd that “white people can’t say the N word but black people can”, or how society has gone to shit with this more than 2 genders nonsense, or how taxes are the reason we’re all poor even though they’re managers being paid slightly above other states’ minimum wage at best (~$15.50/hr) and have to waste an absurd amount of money on healthcare & car stuff, or whatever. Even a lot of the queer people I know, stereotypical with dyed hair and all, say this EXACT same shit.
I think everywhere outside of the major cities in this state are like this, those few civilized blue parts are the only ones keeping this place from collapsing… having days on my own in Savannah have been some of the best times of my life, I’m so used to be confined to this garbage rural suburbia surrounded by red that I truly envy people who live in cities… I’m planning to move to Chicago and hopefully it’s as good as Savannah, in terms of how nice it is to just walk around the city as well as the local establishments & events.
Hey I love this meme everytime I see it, but I want to point out that that point about growing up in "similar circumstances that nurture their skill’ is contingent upon working musicians being able to afford to raise children. Children that will also need to work.
Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think there is a comparable proportion of the population that are working musicians, that earn enough money to support children, but not so much that the children don’t have to learn a trade, as there were in “Enlightenment” Europe where if a person wanted to hear music they had to make it themselves, or pay someone to make it, and every rich asshole had a chamber orchestra following him around.
Also parents don’t teach children their trades the way they used to, and they aren’t expected to support their parent’s businesses the way they used to. (I’m not lamenting this). There used to be a lot of pressure on children to contribute economically. Mozart, and his siblings probably faced what we’d consider child abuse if he didn’t practice. He was certainly exploited.
Michael Jackson is a Mozart of the 20th century. He was put to work at a young age to support his parents and siblings, that were also working musicians.
As much as I love Weird Al (and I do) I don’t think he was groomed and exploited the same way MJ/WM were. Kudos to his parents for that I guess.
Yeah, F1 driver Max Verstappen is in a similar situation. Clearly insanely talented, but probably got there by having a childhood which was pretty fucked up (left at gas station by father in Italy if he lost a karting race, etc.).
Maybe we miss out on a couple of savants without this kind of treatement, but it is a pretty good tradeoff, especially if you think about all the kids that did not make it to the top, and just had a abusive childhood without anything to show for it.
Besides, I think we lose far more amazingly talented people to the grind of poverty more than overt child exploitation. They are one and the same problem, and everyone here speaks as if this stuff only happened in the past or in extreme examples…
