Interesting article on CPR: https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-w...n-harms-of-cpr
Discusses the use of it in various scenarios such as emergency heart attacks, hospitalized patients at the end of life, outcomes %, etc.
I've read these sort of analyses before and had a CPR class, tac first aid class. Where I worked had AEDs on the walls in most buildings. Side bar - one place had evac chairs folded up to get nonmoving folks out, never saw them elsewhere. Some bleed out kits are appearing. Side bar asked the USPSA folks if we had an appropriate kit available for matches - answer - DUH. TX, we had such and even a show of hands at some matches for trained folks. Some of the NYS folks are emergency personnel, so maybe they were up to speed. One guy had a clear kit on his belt, asked him about it and he was an engineer. Go figure.
Anyway, I did see a colleague go down at work and the campus PD get to him in minutes and attempt CPR but he was just gone. It did look pretty brutal.
For those in the fields, thoughts on this?
