   First off you …
   First off you shouldnt be standing, secondly you use your body weight to compress not your arm muscles, and you keep your hands on the chest as all times. for a child you should compress 1 inch to 1 and a half inch. You can Use one or Two hands on a child but in most cases a child will be suffering a respiratory emergency rather than cardiac so they would need Rescue Breathing Before CPR.

   This is great advice.
   Don’t get caught up in the mechanics such as shoulders and all that.
   Getting 30 compressions done every 20 seconds is hard enough:)

   actually, this how deep to perform compressions. The patients ribs may break but this is normal in some cases involving CPR.

    CPR may infact break the ribs. Is this the case for every CPR situation? No. However, some patients ribs will break due to the depth of compressions/ downward force being applied as you compress.

    True the victim may be (dead.) However, remember that first resonders/ lay rescuers cannot declare a patient to be dead unless of course like their head is not connected to the body, etc. Only doctors can declare a patient to be dead. The GSL in Canada will protect you as long as you offer to help istance, act in good faith, do not leave/ abandon the Pt., & if you have a first aid ticket, you use the training which your ticket allows.

    Remember the victim …
    Remember the victim is dead. In most cases, the good sam. law will protect bystander rescuers. In the US, the survival rate is in the single digits, often because the bystanders do NOTHING. Anyone CAN do this, because something is always better than nothing. I’m a CPR instructor and nurse. Thanks!

    Studies have shown that most people give inadequate chest compressions when providing CPR. It is NECESSARY to push hard, push fast at the rate of 100 a minute to force blood to the brain and prevent brain death. (Yes, I’m a CPR instructor and a nurse.)

    By the way, remember that just because you are being shown how to do CPR in this video, this doesn’t mean anyone can go ahead and do it. Make sure you are properly trained to deal with the nature of the emergency. I recommend not to do this without a valid first aid ticket.
